Activities
In-market promotion activities (at trade shows, consumer events, retail promotions and similar events) have been effective in enabling Australian wine businesses to connect with distributors and influencers in market, enabling the development of relationships and the ability to strike export agreements that have contributed to an increase in export sales.
Marketing activities delivered through social media and influencer campaigns also created value for export sales and international wine tourism through broader media exposure, measured through earned value of media (EVM) metrics.
