(Click on the link to register and get a free first chapter, or  buy the whole book.  The print version is now available in the U.S. and globally.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key points Liza picked up on were the importance of prospective exporters being educated on the U.S. market, and finding a way to communicate the success of the brand, even before launch.  I know, that sounds like a paradox, but it&#8217;s really not.  It just requires a bit of creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A case in point referenced in the article is Invivo Wines, with which I&#8217;m working to help launch their Invivo X SJP brand.  Still a work in progress, but on track to launch in September with a powerful push from Sarah Jessica Parker&#8217;s social media support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most brands we work with, of course, don&#8217;t have the celebrity leverage.  But for <strong><em>every<\/em><\/strong> brand one we work with we help identify what I like to call a &#8220;Point of Difference that Makes a Difference.&#8221;   And it&#8217;s this POD that MAD distinction that can make the difference between success and failure for new brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want more ideas on how to do this?  Here are two ways:  1) Buy the book, it&#8217;s loaded with case histories and examples of how we&#8217;ve done that for other clients.  And 2) check out some of my prior blog posts on the subject, also with practical case histories and metrics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding an importer or distributor for your wine and spirit brand in the U.S. can be a challenge, Steve Raye and his new book &#8220;How to Get U.S. Market Ready&#8221; is featured as a solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2505,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[20,383,191],"class_list":["post-2504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-bevology","tag-wine-export","tag-wine-importer","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Meiningers-article-on-wine-business-brokers.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7k1BV-Eo","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2504"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2506,"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504\/revisions\/2506"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bevologyinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
