Wine Social Media Blog Posts

Wine and Social Media are naturally linked. At the heart of most occasions of drinking wine is socializing – in the case of wine social media it’s socializing online. In this blog category I cover wine social media objectives and strategy.

• Wine Stores and Local Social Media Much of this blog is about wine and social media. It goes through Facebook, Twitter, blogs, social media monitoring, and various strategies. However there is a different perspective on all of this - the local perspective. Local social media is simply social interaction around a particular location, usually a city. It includes: Location Based Services, Your Local Blog, Other People's Local Blogs, Local Review Sites, Twitter, and LinkedIn. This post is an overview of what services you can use to boost your local results.

• America’s Most Popular Wine Store? Social Research suggests it may be BevMo It's all about wine store range. And BevMo has it and, crucially, has the numbers according to some social research I've just seen from NetBase.

• Avatar Hybrid Bodies and Wine Social Media Market Research Looking for that wine store idea that sets you apart from your competitors? The best way is to ask your customers. Another way is to gather customer insights into your business through social media research also known as netnography. In the movie Avatar Sigourney Weaver is an anthropologist who was studying another community by becoming immersed in it. This post is about something similar - immersing yourself in internet communities. The difference is we don't use Na'vi-human hybrid bodies to interact with the natives of Pandora, rather we use the internet to get involved with other humans in their own internet environment. A little easier I think.
• Does the market love you or hate you? One way to find out Sentiment I provide an overview of a social media research tool called ConsumerBase product. I'll be using it to review some big US wine stores and will do a post on this later. It's claim to fame is the ability to accurately measure sentiment - whether the conversations in social media love you or hate you. It uses a natural language processing alogirthm that looks at the sentence structure rather than just keywords. This post outlines why it's a bit different and what I want from it.

• Social media monitoring software and PR agencies - expensive meets expenses I've been trialling some social media monitoring tools over the last few weeks, and I've just caught myself falling into techno-love. Or as Gollum kept saying in Lord of the Rings, "the ring, the ring". These tools are shiny and bright, lots of fancy...
• Wine Retailers and Local Wine Bloggers - an opportunity for both I believe a local wine retailer has a huge local advantage over large and online wine retailers in the internet world. There are many ways a wine retailer can take leverage this. One of these is to cooperate with local wine bloggers. Sure they're not going to be as large as the top wine bloggers I've been reviewing. But you have some overlapping interests not the least of which is a similar passion for wine.
• How to Rank Wine Blogs - a DIY rough and ready approach 1. Choose a blog you want to rank yourself against - perhaps it's one of the top blogs, or just another local wine blogger 2. Go to compete and enter your blog and the other blog address. 3. Go to Open Site Explorer and enter your blog, and then the other blog address. 4. Go to PostRank and add up the last 10 scores for your blog, and then the other blog. Now you have comparative figures for volume, authority and engagement. You could weight them depending on your priority.
