Wine Event Sampling – Experiential Marketing Benchmarks Report
The wine sampling industry is an established and growing business sector for alcoholic beverage producers. Throughout the past two decades, the U.S. wine industry has nearly doubled from around $30 billion in 2002 to more than $60 billion today. With a vast variety of wine flavors and types, it is often difficult for producers to predict their customer's preferences. This is where wine event sampling is particularly useful.
The Wine Event Sampling – Experiential Marketing Benchmarks Report details benchmarks about consumer reach, impact, and return-on-investment for experiential marketing activations for brands in the wine event sampling industry. This report represents activations where bottled wine brands were sampled at on- and/ or off-premise activations through an estimated 2,149,337 samples. The data used to develop benchmarks in this report were gathered from 29,555 activation days combined with 43,470 consumer exit interviews where wine brands were sampled by consumers."
