Record number of visits on GWS during the holidays
If traffic on our site is any indication, it would appear that Internet browsing
is a favourite holiday pastime for wine professionals: Global Wine & Spirits
recorded a 163% increase in visits between December 20 and January 3 compared to
the same period last year.
While this may, in part, reflect Global Wine
& Spirits' growing popularity - and we believe it does - it also confirms
that an industry once rooted in tradition has now opened its arms wide to
embrace the Internet for gathering information, sourcing product and developing
new business relationships. Since wine is an information-intensive product, the
Internet is the perfect tool to track it down.
At Global Wine &
Spirits, we have a great team in place with more talent, expertise and skill
than ever before. We have a new website designed for speed and search-engine
visibility, great projects to bring producing members closer to the markets, as
well as a very ambitious strategic development plan. We look forward to sharing
another great year with you on Global Wine & Spirits and would like to
extend our warmest wishes to all of our members and to the entire Global Wine
& Spirits community.
Best regards
