This morning I met with my favorite winery
in Southern California. They are working on growing their Social
Media. I must admit that social media is a perfect marketing tool
for them because their clients want to know more about them and
Facebook and Twitter is the perfect way for them to share their
information.
Here are my 5 best hints for Social Media for
Wineries:
1. Start a Twitter account and send out 3 tweets a day. Share
information about the grapevines, tasting room, upcoming events,
and life at the winery.
2. Start a Facebook . Create a Profile, Group and Page. Upload
pictures regularly and to save time set up your Twitter to update
your Facebook status with your Twitter.
3. Have a Blog on your website. Blog at least twice a week.
It does not need to be the polished copy that you have on your
website. Make it fun , playful, and welcoming. Visitors will
feel like they know you before they even get to your winery.
4. Include your social media links on your website. Let your
website visitors know they can find you on Social Media sites. Use
familiar icons that guest will recognize.
5. If you are too afraid to start, find someone to help you.You
needed to have social media outlets yesterday. Find a social media
specialist. Ask to see their social media outlets. Everyone will
tell you they are a specialist ask to see their work.
Is there more to social media for wineries? Yes, a lot more but I
would suggest starting with Twitter, Facebook, and a blog. Be
consistent. It is not enough to have an account, be sure to update
your status at least three times a day and blog at least twice a
week. The search engines will love you and so will your visitors.
