A UNIQUE APPROACH
Millennier Wine Sales brings an entirely new perspective to
traditional brokering. Using an integrated approach
focusing on the end user, brand awareness, social media,
and education, Millennier reaches out directly to younger
consumers and is able to expose them to wines that they
want to buy.
One tool in achieving this is a unique and innovative wine
tasting group called WTF LA, Wine Tasting For Los Angeles.
WTF LA is a traveling tasting group holding affordable
tastings all over the Los Angeles area, providing all
marketing, infrastructure and execution of each event. With
this direct access point to young wine drinkers, Millennier
creates an opportunity to directly reach out to an entire
consumer group that has been extremely elusive to many
wineries & retailers in the past.
A TARGETED CONSUMER GROUP
Millennier focuses on younger wine drinkers, specifically
the Millennial Generation. There are several definitions
out there for the Millennial Generation, but for these
purposes the Millennial Generation can be defined as the
group of people born between the years of 1977 and 2000.
There are between 70 and 75 million people in this age
group, and not even half are drinking age. (For more
information on this consumer group, please see the FAQ)
This group has been called "the future of the wine
industry," and for good reason. They are the fastest
growing core wine-drinking population in the United States
today. Unfortunately, because of generational gaps in both
traditional marketing as well as in the wine industry
itself, it has been difficult in the past for domestic
producers and retailers to harness the buying potential of
this group. Millennier specializes in reaching out to this
group. The business is owned and operated by a Millennial
and markets directly to younger wine drinkers via the
traveling tasting group, WTF LA.
CONSULTATIONS
While all the outreach, marketing and publicity that
Millennier handles is incredibly beneficial to wineries and
to On- and Off-site retailers, businesses can truly
maximize the impact of this outreach by continuing to
support it efficiently by themselves. This involves on-site
strategizing, social media awareness, and creative macro
planning for the future. This is all provided as a free
service to the businesses that Millennier works with.
