SALES AND MARKETING INTRINSICALLY CONNECTED

Optimising Wine Sales and Marketing Goals

Magnum Wine Solutions prides itself on “Making It Happen”, thriving on taking responsibility for delivering results on the marketing and sales plans it develops with clients.

Wine sales are more than just “moving cases”. It is about developing relationships with customers, whether they are distribution partners, retail and on-premise customers, or consumers purchasing wines from either trade accounts or direct from wineries. Marketing is communication.

We ensure that goals and objectives are aligned to all relevant sales channels to create and maintain a cohesive brand presence that resonates with each person purchasing that wine brand.

Businesses That We
Have Worked With...

Scott Gerrard – Estate Manager, Glenlofty Wines

I have worked with James Hall for the past four and a half years.

James and I have worked closely and travelled overseas together multiple times.

I have really enjoyed working with and being mentored by James.

James is a very organised and focussed person, I don’t know how he keeps on track and makes thing happen, but he does!

We have worked on many aspects of wine business together, from vineyard philosophy, winemaking, brand development, marketing, strategy and sales.

James has been the industry for a long time and has a comprehensive understanding of the whole system from growing to winemaking and beyond.

I believe James’s strength is organisation and delivery and he’s not afraid to pull an all-nighter if needed!

James has been a part of all aspects of the business from production, sales, marketing and distribution, finances and development.

It is a real pleasure working with James, we have become good mates!

Helen Clarke – Proprietor, Pontifex Wines

We have been working with James Hall since 2016 when we decided to set up our own brand.

James’s vast experience and knowledge of the wine industry and expertise was extremely helpful.

James assisted us on so many aspects including creating our brand, designer selection right through to helping us find a distributor.

Without James wonderful assistance we wouldn’t be where we are now.

We are extremely grateful and highly recommend him.

    IN THE MEDIA

    China Anti-Dumping allegations against Australian wine.

    Drive with Nicole Chvastek interview on Tuesday 18th August 2020 discussing, “China’s Anti-Dumping allegations against Australian wine.”

    The main points of the interview in relation to China’s Anti-Dumping allegations against Australian wine:

    • Dismissing the claims as untrue and ridiculous
    • Emphasising Australia’s position in the China wine market place as a high value producer: not a producer of cheap wine, not competing in the same price segments as domestic Chinese wines.
    • Expressing the high level of importance Australian wine producers and their Chinese business partners place on respect. Respect is key to the strong business relationships that already exist and are enjoyed.
    • The impact of this Chinese Government decision is going to hurt a lot of Chinese businesses.
    • Australia not alone: dozens and dozens of other countries are being treated the same way by the Chinese government
