To-and-Fro
On January 1st we
celebrated our two year
anniversary in business.  
It’s been an amazing journey
    trying to merge wine and
            technology.  




Wine.                Technology.
And two things have proven true in the last
couple of years: we believe the synergy between
 wine and digital will move our industry forward
    and we encourage wineries every day to
   improve their use of technology to sell and
 market their product DTC, DTT, and in the trade.




       Wine.                  Technology.
Our industry has
experienced two years of
  turmoil and challenges.
And as a result, the often ignored
digital channel is now increasing
in relevance to our industry every
single day.
Wine online. We believe.
To all the people who believe in us,
           our clients, our friends, and
especially our family.  Thank you for
   supporting us along our two year
journey. We are so grateful to work
  with you and have you part of the
                         VinTank family.

The 100 point system is easy to understand but flawed. Out of the 250K
+ wines produced annually throughout the world, only 30K-40K are
professionally reviewed.

     Recommendation is the #1 catalyst for wine buying.

                                  People adhere to Taste Tribes.
                            Bloggers aggregate wine lovers that
                                       match their “Taste Tribe.”
Why not try Badges?

A rating system that is Binary (like it or don’t).

Either the wine earns a badge based upon reviewers’
criteria, or the wine doesn’t, creating a taste taxonomy
that recognizes that we taste differently.

Then syndicate these notes and “digital neckers” for FREE to
help give people meaningful recommendations and help
e-tailers convert sales through digital merchandising of
reviews. Psst – wineries can use this on their sites TOO!
Why will it work?

 The badge data is syndicated (for FREE)
   through digital distribution channels to
anyone who wants to receive and use it.

        Distribution is the key to change.

  Here are the pioneer bloggers who are
leading the Badge initiative. Feel free to
              submit your wines to them.

“Desperate Times Call
for Desperate Measures”
            - Franklin Roosevelt
“A Social Experiment”
Social Commerce Experiment



          Predatory Flash Sale sites were asking
          wineries to offer deep discounts and
          pay extraordinary fees while only
          presenting the highest rated wines.

          So we asked:
          Can a major social network be used
                       for social commerce?
Facebook released its
new upgraded
groups!
Thus was born Deals from the
Vines – A Facebook group that
allows ANY winery to present its
wines for sale to the group with
NO FEES.
A special thank you to our partner wineries
 that allow us to experiment and share the
efforts and learnings with the entire industry.

Law and Order
HR 5034 &Craig Wolf
HR 5034 is the first real
threat to direct shipping
we’ve seen since 2005.


VinTank stands for
wineries. VinTank stands
for direct shipping. We
decided to challenge
the issue head on (the
WSWA) in a fun and
intelligent way.
Thus we made Craig Wolf a muppet, used his quotes, and challenged his logic:
http://www.vintank.com/2010/11/unfiltered-3-craig-wolf-and-hr5034/

Craig Wolf enjoyed the “Tosh 2.0” version of his perspective and granted us a
real interview to discuss the issue. The transcript can be found here and is
INCREDIBLY important to read if direct shipping is at all important to you: http://
www.vintank.com/2011/01/inherit-the-wind-the-real-interview-with-craig-wolf/
Constructive
        Discourse
             & Revelation
A great summary of the article by Eric Arnold can be found here:
http://bit.ly/fOdWSB
                        PS – one of the most
                     interesting disclosures was
                      the potential partnership
                      between Shipcompliant
                        and the WSWA which
                    raised more questions than
                     answers: http://bit.ly/hnrsjj
Transparency on the web
VinTank challenged the
data Snooth represented
as facts with the intention
to surface the reality of
#’s that affect
advertising rates, data
usage, and more with
the intention to give
wineries better context
for making business
decisions.
Our post here: http://
bit.ly/et4t6P - what we
discovered was that the
math didn’t add up and
data that wineries gave
Snooth was being used
to increase their SEO to
outrank or rank incredibly
high up in search results
with messaging that is
not an accurate
representation of the SEO
results.
As a result of the exercise
we uncovered a huge
problem with
authenticity too: wine
tech pioneer, Eric LeVine,
and his renowned site,
CellarTracker, appeared
to be scraped to power
Snooth’s database:

The following slides
represent cool projects
that are coming down
the pipeline from
VinTank. Things that
excite us to the n’th
degree.
Share the LOVE
           Owners – two African-
           American women, one
           millennial, one Gen X, first
           CarboNZero winery in the
           world, presenting New Zealand
           Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling
           for everyday enjoyment.
           Launching an integrated
           campaign with an iPhone app
           (Share the Love) and
           Facebook/Twitter marketing
           focus that will create a true
           “pay it forward” campaign.
           Do good deeds, earn rewards.
First ever augmented
                      reality launch for a wine.




Random do-gooders will have the
eco.love owners show up at their door
with a gift of wine and a flipcam to
share and celebrate their good deeds.
A lot of small deeds add
up to big changes. Why
don’t you share the love?

2011 Predictions
Part of what we do is look
forward to what is next in the

Some insight
wine/tech ecosphere. The
challenges with making
statements about the future of
wine and tech is our industry’s
very slow adoption rate.
So we often have to temper
trends affecting other
segments online with what we
think is possible in the wine
industry.
Here is what we think is in store
for 2011 for wine.
E-commerce
The recession forced many wineries to rethink their strategies
as related to channel focus. Many have shifted to prioritizing
DTC business, with e-commerce of highest value.
Wine e-commerce is becoming easier due to the interstate
challenges settling down, platform sophistication, and
market understanding.
Wine e-commerce provides the HIGHEST return towards
EBITDA vs. any other direct channel.
The second sale from a consumer after they return home is
far more important than the first sale at the winery.
Wine e-commerce is the fastest growing DTC channel for
wineries.
Prediction!



This focus will continue to grow and many wineries, even the
largest enterprise wineries, will see tremendous growth in the
channel and will reinvest for greater returns. Expect better
customer service, more innovative marketing and promotional
activities, and interesting spins on winery direct e-commerce.

             great thought leaders
             participating in helping
                educate wineries.
Prediction!   50% of US wineries (3000+) will
              be participating in social media
              in some capacity (blogs, Twitter,
              Facebook, Linkedin, other).



              10% of US wineries (600+) will
              become proficient in 2011 in
              leveraging the medium for
              increased branding, customer
              engagement, customer service,
              customer acquisition, PR, and
              more.



              0.25% (15) will start basic SCRM
              (Social CRM).
Our W i sh ...




Wine-focused social platforms
will build better winery
engagement tools so wineries
can “fish where the fish are.”
Flash Sales
Flash sites dominated
  our psyche in 2009
      and 2010.
Social Commerce
                         and “Flash in the Pan”

Several were incredibly honest and legitimate outlets for overstocked inventories,
including:



Other emerging outlets seem promising: gilt.com, ruelala.com and lot18.com.
The excess of super-scoring wines (over 90 by any of the major publications) is drying
up. The 4 + 3 will capture the lion’s share of any wine inventory in this segment of the
wine business.
The American consumer has drastically changed buying habits and will perpetuate
services like this. How do Flash sales build image in a luxury category?
Prediction:
    The implosion of wine flash sales will start in 2011.
    Some companies will emerge just to service this
   new channel (like http://www.preston-layne.com/
      & http://www.newmanwineandspirits.com/).
Our Wish...




We hope that whatever models companies
bring, they are not winery punitive models like
many of the predatory flash sale sites of the
last two years.
Social Commerce
Social Commerce
           Groupon, livingsocial.com and
           buywithme.com are just a few.
           Group buying has started and now
           that the genie is out of the bottle,
           how will commerce and social
           intersect?

Label Image Recognition
Image Recognition
                    Imagine a world where you
                    can take a pic of a label
                    and it returns information
                    about the wine. Sounds like
                    science fiction? Almost.
                    The industry doesn’t use UPC
                    codes well – either we don’t
                    change from vintage to
                    vintage or we don’t include
                    them at all.
Sorting through images is
ridiculously HARD.

A Good Start...




We predict that you will see wine label scanning tools get to
65% in 2011. Wine apps are sick of dirty data or data that are
only used to drive traffic to other peoples sites. Expect to see
more attention on wine data from the tech sector in 2011.
Our Wish...



     That wineries would understand the importance of
     organizing their wine data for success of their brand
     online. This will help when image recognition
     becomes more prevalent.
QR Codes
QR Codes
                      Yes, I really work!


           Quick Response (QR) codes
           are two dimensional matrix
           barcodes that allow different
           types of data to be
           embedded within them. The
           most common use is to embed
           a URL that can be resolved
           and loaded in a web browser
           when the code is scanned.
The proliferation of smart
phones equipped with cameras
     and applications capable of
 scanning and interpreting the

  data within QR codes is driving
               the adoption .
QR codes are a tool,
not a strategy!
                       QR codes will gain a
                       significant foothold in the
                       wine industry in 2011 with
                       many wineries printing
                       them on back labels and
                       marketing materials.

                       However, they should be
                       seen as a least-common-
                       denominator solution and
                       just one part of an overall
                       strategy for connecting
                       consumers in the
                       physical/product world
                       with their digital brand
                       experience.
Wineries must carefully consider their
implementation of QR codes, especially when
printing them on labels, since they become a
permanent part of their packaging and ultimately
reflect back on their brand. Since wine is a long tail
product, wineries should ensure that they have
control over the QR code resolution process.

Well if you haven’t, here are a few stats
that might blow your mind:
Still think it’s a
         FAD?
In the words of Brian Solis:




         We think it’s far from a fad, it is
   actually a new form of engagement
          that has yet to enter the wine
                               category.
Prediction
    The social gaming
 outlets will improve the
  level of engagement
 opportunities wineries
    will have with their
   consumers as well as
 give a clear indication
of consumer purchasing
patterns. This will all start
 with the launch of the
first social game for our
     industry, VinPass.
Our Wish...




That wineries would ignore the
word “game” and translate it
to “engagement marketing.”
Critics Embrace Digital
VS.


For some reason over the last two years
there has been a giant rift between
traditional wine critics and bloggers (eg -
http://bit.ly/dZoiWm)
Creating content and distributing
it is cheaper than ever errr...
actually make that FREE.
The distinction between blogger
and traditional media becomes
more blurry every day.
Many professional writers have
ignored the power of digital.
The role of a professional writer is
changing from paid content
creator to audience aggregator,
reader engagement, content
distribution strategist, free
content creator, marketer, digital
connoisseur.
Professional critics embrace digital




             Some key professional writers have
             understood that the marriage of
             digital and treating bloggers not
             as a competitors but as partners
             elevates their content awareness
             and personal brand.

 In 2011 you will see the emergence of professional
 wine writers entering the digital space. The ones that
 take the time to understand digital will elevate in mass
 awareness. The ones who don’t will be inundated by
 what they call “mob mentality” and constant barrage
 of public criticism that will chip away at their credibility
 to this and the next generation of wine consumers.
Our Wish...




              Would love to see innovative
              collaboration between professional
              wine writers, wine bloggers and old
              media publications.
Digital Reviews
Out with the
old....reviews that is!
Ok – yes, the big boys dominate.
Yes, key critics have been the
gate keepers to wine
recommendations.
And yes, the internet, especially
with social media, is beginning
to level the playing field and
introduce new ways to
recommend wine.
In with the new...types of reviews
 The Facebook “Like”
 function is a game
 changer in more ways
 than this one slide can
 demonstrate.

 We predict more
 etailers and online
 platforms will start
 using new systems for
 recommending wine.




3 of the most influential review sites!
Our wish...
More wineries and wine retailers will start
using the “like” buttons and CellarTracker
scores.
Badges will get their time in the limelight
and that etailers and other wine sites see
this as an opportunity to leverage tech to
help consumers.
Curated Content
Old media was the gate keeper to the
content presented to you. Now your
friends/network are the presenters of
content on a daily basis.
“Everyone is a media outlet.”
                   -Clay Shirky
Twitter is a “news platform” - http://bit.ly/hJDxwx

There is often too much content, so the emergence of new
types of platforms for people to “organize and aggregate”
content for their friends/networks (paper.li, http://bit.ly/gCGZQZ,
or to make the stream of content easier to read are emerging,
like:

                      Flipboard                Flud
Even in our own
         industry we have
           strong content
               curation.

Blend of content curation...


                     and creation.
Even mobile applications
procure content from key
bloggers and feature it in their
platforms.
Prediction




 There will be a new push in content curation
 for wine sites in 2011 due to the flood of wine
 information on the internet.
Our Wish...
We hope to see companies like Flud and Flipboard add
wine as a major category. Imagine them aggregating all
wine tweets?
We REALLY hope to see them make business development
deals with super content manufacturers like Jancis
Robinson, Natalie Maclean, and CellarTracker.com.
We would also love to see respected wine celebrities
aggregate and curate content. Imagine “Best Wine
blogs and tweets by Jancis Robinson” or the Institute of
Masters of Wine aggregating all content from students of
the MW program.
CRM
Customer Relationship
 Management has been a
mythical dream to the wine
                   industry.
The wine industry has one of the most complicated CRM
needs due to the diverse nature and needs of the
channels it services (ecom, wine club, telephone, tasting
room, direct to trade, traditional 3-tier).
The industry is gated by disparate systems where the
lowest common denominator is legacy systems. Even
with the most sophisticated CRM tool (e.g.
Salesforce.com), it continues to be gated by the systems
it needs to integrate.
Currently CRM in our industry is loosely described as
“identify consumers, segment, send an email, telemarket
or send a mail offering.”
Prediction
CRM will actually start
to materialize in 2011
and the industry will
begin leveraging it
for the benefit of DTC
sales.
Our Wish...



  Instead of business intelligence CRM we
     dream of a wine world that has an
              actionable CRM.
IMAGINE..
...a world where a wine club member calls, and
you know: how long they have been a member,
their LTV, their preferences, their RFM, and more to
extend quality service.
IMAGINE..
            ...that data leveraged by an e-commerce platform
              presents better offers to club members and recent
                                                         visitors.



...the new world of SCRM (Social CRM) and the
ability to service customers based upon more
than buying history but also on conversations.
There is much more to this story...




 But 2011 will reveal more to us as technology
 matures and our industry uses it and gains real
 learnings. We are lucky to be part of this journey.
Thank you!

  • 46. b e s. Tri s te Ta The 100 point system is easy to understand but flawed. Out of the 250K + wines produced annually throughout the world, only 30K-40K are professionally reviewed. Recommendation is the #1 catalyst for wine buying. People adhere to Taste Tribes. Bloggers aggregate wine lovers that match their “Taste Tribe.”
  • 47. Why not try Badges? A rating system that is Binary (like it or don’t). Either the wine earns a badge based upon reviewers’ criteria, or the wine doesn’t, creating a taste taxonomy that recognizes that we taste differently. Then syndicate these notes and “digital neckers” for FREE to help give people meaningful recommendations and help e-tailers convert sales through digital merchandising of reviews. Psst – wineries can use this on their sites TOO!
  • 48. Why will it work? The badge data is syndicated (for FREE) through digital distribution channels to anyone who wants to receive and use it. Distribution is the key to change. Here are the pioneer bloggers who are leading the Badge initiative. Feel free to submit your wines to them.

  • 64. Thus we made Craig Wolf a muppet, used his quotes, and challenged his logic: http://www.vintank.com/2010/11/unfiltered-3-craig-wolf-and-hr5034/ Craig Wolf enjoyed the “Tosh 2.0” version of his perspective and granted us a real interview to discuss the issue.

  • 67. VinTank challenged the data Snooth represented as facts with the intention to surface the reality of #’s that affect advertising rates, data usage, and more with the intention to give wineries better context for making business decisions.
  • 68. Our post here: http:// bit.ly/et4t6P - what we discovered was that the math didn’t add up and data that wineries gave Snooth was being used to increase their SEO to outrank or rank incredibly high up in search results with messaging that is not an accurate representation of the SEO results.
  • 69. As a result of the exercise we uncovered a huge problem with authenticity too: wine tech pioneer, Eric LeVine, and his renowned site, CellarTracker, appeared to be scraped to power Snooth’s database: http://bit.ly/gkeZla

  • 88. Part of what we do is look forward to what is next in the Some insight wine/tech ecosphere. The challenges with making statements about the future of wine and tech is our industry’s very slow adoption rate. So we often have to temper trends affecting other segments online with what we think is possible in the wine industry. Here is what we think is in store for 2011 for wine.
  • 90. The recession forced many wineries to rethink their strategies as related to channel focus. Many have shifted to prioritizing DTC business, with e-commerce of highest value. Wine e-commerce is becoming easier due to the interstate challenges settling down, platform sophistication, and market understanding.
  • 91. Wine e-commerce provides the HIGHEST return towards EBITDA vs. any other direct channel. The second sale from a consumer after they return home is far more important than the first sale at the winery. Wine e-commerce is the fastest growing DTC channel for wineries.
  • 92. Prediction! This focus will continue to grow and many wineries, even the largest enterprise wineries, will see tremendous growth in the channel and will reinvest for greater returns. Expect better customer service, more innovative marketing and promotional activities, and interesting spins on winery direct e-commerce.
  • 93. Our W i sh ... A true and legal marketing agent for wineries like an Expedia for wine.

  • 97. Evan Chris Daw Carfi son Chris Joe Edwards Catherine Meg Barry Davis n Roberts Aaro Schuler Hardy Maker t Strou Brian Wallace Solis There are many, many, many great thought leaders participating in helping educate wineries.
  • 98. Prediction! 50% of US wineries (3000+) will be participating in social media in some capacity (blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, other). 10% of US wineries (600+) will become proficient in 2011 in leveraging the medium for increased branding, customer engagement, customer service, customer acquisition, PR, and more. 0.25% (15) will start basic SCRM (Social CRM).
  • 99. Our W i sh ... Wine-focused social platforms will build better winery engagement tools so wineries can “fish where the fish are.”
  • 101. Flash sites dominated our psyche in 2009 and 2010.
  • 102. Social Commerce and “Flash in the Pan” Several were incredibly honest and legitimate outlets for overstocked inventories, including: Other emerging outlets seem promising: gilt.com, ruelala.com and lot18.com. The excess of super-scoring wines (over 90 by any of the major publications) is drying up. The 4 + 3 will capture the lion’s share of any wine inventory in this segment of the wine business. The American consumer has drastically changed buying habits and will perpetuate services like this. How do Flash sales build image in a luxury category?
  • 103. Prediction: The implosion of wine flash sales will start in 2011. Some companies will emerge just to service this new channel (like http://www.preston-layne.com/ & http://www.newmanwineandspirits.com/).
  • 104. Our Wish... We hope that whatever models companies bring, they are not winery punitive models like many of the predatory flash sale sites of the last two years.
  • 106. Social Commerce Groupon, livingsocial.com and buywithme.com are just a few. Group buying has started and now that the genie is out of the bottle, how will commerce and social intersect? -photo courtesy redant.com

  • 113. Image Recognition Imagine a world where you can take a pic of a label and it returns information about the wine. Sounds like science fiction? Almost. The industry doesn’t use UPC codes well – either we don’t change from vintage to vintage or we don’t include them at all.
  • 114. Sorting through images is ridiculously HARD. s ye t to win e ha a for and e dat lized Th no rma be anized. or g
  • 115. A Good Start... We predict that you will see wine label scanning tools get to 65% in 2011. Wine apps are sick of dirty data or data that are only used to drive traffic to other peoples sites. Expect to see more attention on wine data from the tech sector in 2011.
  • 116. Our Wish... That wineries would understand the importance of organizing their wine data for success of their brand online. This will help when image recognition becomes more prevalent.
  • 118. QR Codes Yes, I really work! Quick Response (QR) codes are two dimensional matrix barcodes that allow different types of data to be embedded within them. The most common use is to embed a URL that can be resolved and loaded in a web browser when the code is scanned.
  • 119. The proliferation of smart phones equipped with cameras and applications capable of scanning and interpreting the data within QR codes is driving the adoption .
  • 120. QR codes are a tool, not a strategy! QR codes will gain a significant foothold in the wine industry in 2011 with many wineries printing them on back labels and marketing materials. However, they should be seen as a least-common- denominator solution and just one part of an overall strategy for connecting consumers in the physical/product world with their digital brand experience.
  • 121. Wineries must carefully consider their implementation of QR codes, especially when printing them on labels, since they become a permanent part of their packaging and ultimately reflect back on their brand. Since wine is a long tail product, wineries should ensure that they have control over the QR code resolution process.

  • 124. Well if you haven’t, here are a few stats that might blow your mind:
  • 126. In the words of Brian Solis: We think it’s far from a fad, it is actually a new form of engagement that has yet to enter the wine category.
  • 127. Prediction The social gaming outlets will improve the level of engagement opportunities wineries will have with their consumers as well as give a clear indication of consumer purchasing patterns. This will all start with the launch of the first social game for our industry, VinPass.
  • 128. Our Wish... That wineries would ignore the word “game” and translate it to “engagement marketing.”
  • 130. VS. For some reason over the last two years there has been a giant rift between traditional wine critics and bloggers (eg - http://bit.ly/dZoiWm)
  • 131. Creating content and distributing it is cheaper than ever errr... actually make that FREE. The distinction between blogger and traditional media becomes more blurry every day. Many professional writers have ignored the power of digital. The role of a professional writer is changing from paid content creator to audience aggregator, reader engagement, content distribution strategist, free content creator, marketer, digital connoisseur.
  • 132. Professional critics embrace digital Some key professional writers have understood that the marriage of digital and treating bloggers not as a competitors but as partners elevates their content awareness and personal brand.
  • 133. Be g e n st th mo A Eric Arnold Cyril Penn Jancis Robinson Leslie Sbroco Jon Bonne Gary Vaynerchuk Natalie Maclean Lewis Perdue Steve Heimoff Bill Daley
  • 134. Pre ictio n In 2011 you will see the emergence of professional wine writers entering the digital space. The ones that take the time to understand digital will elevate in mass awareness. The ones who don’t will be inundated by what they call “mob mentality” and constant barrage of public criticism that will chip away at their credibility to this and the next generation of wine consumers.
  • 135. Our Wish... Would love to see innovative collaboration between professional wine writers, wine bloggers and old media publications.
  • 137. Out with the old....reviews that is! Ok – yes, the big boys dominate. Yes, key critics have been the gate keepers to wine recommendations. And yes, the internet, especially with social media, is beginning to level the playing field and introduce new ways to recommend wine.
  • 138. In with the new...types of reviews The Facebook “Like” function is a game changer in more ways than this one slide can demonstrate. We predict more etailers and online platforms will start using new systems for recommending wine. 3 of the most influential review sites!
  • 139. Our wish... More wineries and wine retailers will start using the “like” buttons and CellarTracker scores. Badges will get their time in the limelight and that etailers and other wine sites see this as an opportunity to leverage tech to help consumers.
  • 141. Old media was the gate keeper to the content presented to you. Now your friends/network are the presenters of content on a daily basis.
  • 142. “Everyone is a media outlet.” -Clay Shirky
  • 143. Twitter is a “news platform” - http://bit.ly/hJDxwx There is often too much content, so the emergence of new types of platforms for people to “organize and aggregate” content for their friends/networks (paper.li, http://bit.ly/gCGZQZ, or to make the stream of content easier to read are emerging, like: Flipboard Flud
  • 144. Even in our own industry we have strong content curation. Blend of content curation... and creation.
  • 145. Even mobile applications procure content from key bloggers and feature it in their platforms.
  • 146. Prediction There will be a new push in content curation for wine sites in 2011 due to the flood of wine information on the internet.
  • 147. Our Wish... We hope to see companies like Flud and Flipboard add wine as a major category. Imagine them aggregating all wine tweets? We REALLY hope to see them make business development deals with super content manufacturers like Jancis Robinson, Natalie Maclean, and CellarTracker.com. We would also love to see respected wine celebrities aggregate and curate content. Imagine “Best Wine blogs and tweets by Jancis Robinson” or the Institute of Masters of Wine aggregating all content from students of the MW program.
  • 148. CRM
  • 149. Customer Relationship Management has been a mythical dream to the wine industry.
  • 150. The wine industry has one of the most complicated CRM needs due to the diverse nature and needs of the channels it services (ecom, wine club, telephone, tasting room, direct to trade, traditional 3-tier). The industry is gated by disparate systems where the lowest common denominator is legacy systems. Even with the most sophisticated CRM tool (e.g. Salesforce.com), it continues to be gated by the systems it needs to integrate. Currently CRM in our industry is loosely described as “identify consumers, segment, send an email, telemarket or send a mail offering.”
  • 151. Prediction CRM will actually start to materialize in 2011 and the industry will begin leveraging it for the benefit of DTC sales.
  • 152. Our Wish... Instead of business intelligence CRM we dream of a wine world that has an actionable CRM.
  • 153. IMAGINE.. ...a world where a wine club member calls, and you know: how long they have been a member, their LTV, their preferences, their RFM, and more to extend quality service.
  • 154. IMAGINE.. ...that data leveraged by an e-commerce platform presents better offers to club members and recent visitors. ...the new world of SCRM (Social CRM) and the ability to service customers based upon more than buying history but also on conversations.
  • 155.
  • 156. There is much more to this story... But 2011 will reveal more to us as technology matures and our industry uses it and gains real learnings. We are lucky to be part of this journey.
