Good morning fellow DW8'ers,
We have surpassed 1000 SKU's on MARKET (with the caveat that these fluctuate based on region and stock), so I am taking a moment to acknowledge this milestone in my records (sharing here for those playing along at home). Updated to inscribe Parton acquisition on the timeline too (image below).
Good to see an update from DT via his Linked-In post. I had been wondering why Vivino listings ostensibly stalled @ 40 about two weeks ago. Many of our suppliers appear on the platform but not via the store, including listings for the following (I will leave it as 3 examples - hyperlinked):
My recommendation for anyone considering purchasing via Winery Direct is to wait one more week until their EBay store launches (you can locate their EBay store when it does so via
this store search feature.
The EBay arm of Winery Direct will be a consolidated 'shop' of all listings, and we can help there more directly via purchases and leaving feedback to increase store and product visibility. It is best we go hard on this in the coming weeks if possible, since when Insider Trading Club launches, shareholders will default to that platform intead. By putting our shoulders to the wheel with EBay store visibility at the outset, we can help this arm of Winery Direct get a foothold on EBay a little quicker.
As
@steve10 has highlighted in the past from his EBay store experience, the platform is very price sensitive, and it may take some time to gain market share. Prime yourselves to pick up a bottle/case next week when the EBay store launches, and don't forget to 'leave feedback' when you get a prompt from EBay after delivery
Best wishes, see you when the next announcement drops (though will probably pop back to push the EBay purchase/review utility to holders in a week or two).
