By Aaron Stone


Taking the right steps means making the right decisions, and alterations, to anything that may be deemed vague when owning an online wine business. Doing this will help generate a constant customer base, that WANTS, to come to your site and purchase your goods. There are some methods that can help you, and we have already got them for you, take a look.

Promote your website. Add quality links designed to drive more traffic to your site. Quality links are known as Incoming Links or Backlinks, and are created when another website links to your website. This is one of the best ways to get your website to appear in organic search engine results.

Keep your website simple. Complicating it will only lessen your chances of a sale. A sophisticated website may even make it hard for your customer to place their orders. A website cluttered with information also puts off the visitors. Offer a lot of empty space for presentation purposes.

Take time to research all the different channels where you can market your wine. Once you have a list try and find ways to add your wine to these channels without breaking the bank. Make sure to only reach out to channels that you think fit your brand image.

Make sure you operations behind-the-scenes run efficiently. The way you handle orders has a huge impact on customer perceptions. Automated systems can deliver speedy responses to customers and provide significant efficiency gains. Automation can also deliver order information to the appropriate person at your company that will be in charge of handling the order.

Keeping an open channel between you and your customers is extremely important. Whether the customer is old or new it is beneficial to continue to keep them in the loop with the wine available on your website, as well as any changes that occur. Being top of mind should always be a priority.

If you're competing with a small site for attention you might want to consider buying them. The combined traffic from both sites will increase your top line revenue and help boost your business. There is no harm in just putting an offer on the table and seeing what happens.

Adding additional features to your checkout system like a "also bought" section will help increase visibility for a myriad of wine you sell. You can also send emails and monthly blasts targeting customers who have bought wine similar to wine you are advertising or discounting.

Tablets and smartphone users make up nearly a quarter of all online shoppers. Make sure your website is optimized for these devices otherwise you'll immediately loose a large chunk of your customer population.

Search engine optimization techniques impact the ranking of new domains. The newest Google filters require trustworthy businesses to be placed higher in searches. The more honest and open your dealings with customers the higher your rankings. Providing refund policy and contact information is a priority.
