There are many webinar’s currently available to assist businesses through the recent bushfire and COVID-19 crisis’. Wine Australia and the AWRI both have resources designed specifically for grape and wine businesses.
Wine Australia
Wine Australia free business support webinars
Research has shown that the right marketing strategy during a crisis can actually build your brand presence.
In Wine Australia’s next business support webinar, Trish Barry of Mastermind Consulting – the first Australian wine marketing business to specialise in digital, social, direct and content marketing – will provide some practical suggestions on maintaining a connection to your brand, leveraging tools at your disposal and keeping your tribes loyal even if they can no longer visit you. She’ll share valuable communications tips, ways to get your message out there and look at some nimble operators who make marketing in a crisis look like a walk in the park.
The webinar ‘Marketing through a crisis – how to maintain a connection with your audience’ is on Wednesday 29 April between 11 and 12 pm (ACST). Register here.
Wine Australia’s free webinar ‘Crisis, recovery and preparing for the ‘new reality’, from 16 April is now available on line here.
