Getting Started with VinTankTips, Best Practices and Workflow

Welcome to VinTank• You have chosen the most powerful social media

software to help you– Manage all your social activity – Engage with customers on social media and 1:1 email

(soon to manage all of your customer engagement across all channels)

– Measure results– Organize ALL customers (DTC, in-market consumers, Trade,

Press, and more)– Gain unprecedented and meaningful insights– Help you find new customers using social context

What does VinTank Do?

• We deliver signal with context to a social media mission control center called VinTank:– Unlike other SM platforms we specifically deliver

conversations to you, about you and with you (signal)• Or organic social media conversations you choose to add to saved

searches (e.g. your wine maker, competitors, marketing campaigns)*

– And let you know key contextual insights (how many times have they engaged with your brand and what kind of engagement, how much have they talked about wine on social media and what wines, who are they on other social media platforms, and if you use Vin65, if they have ever bought directly from you)

*Coming soon

Platforms you can manage directly from VinTank• VinTank only adds channels that have reached a significant

importance to the wine industry into our platform for management.

• Even if you do not actively create content, we highly recommend you reserve your social media presence because you don’t control where your customers choose to talk about your brand, they do. This exercise of creating and connecting every channel takes no more than one hour.

• Every platform you connect gives you more connections to customers and enables VinTank to help you harness the power of social media all in one place.

Delectable - Recommendations

• If your customers leave a positive comment and/or rate the wine well, like the post and comment to say some form of thanks.

• If the score is bad and the comment is something negative you can optionally reply to with "sorry you didn't enjoy, hope you try us again...etc.”

Delectable Case – Consumer Engagement

• Delectable provides key insight into the customer experience with the ability to engage with consumers as they are drinking the wines.

• From simply liking a customers capture to fully engaging with comments, questions or reviews, Delectable provides the feedback loop that businesses can’t find elsewhere.

Delectable Case – Trade Engagement• Delectable has a strong

industry presence that allows wine businesses to connect with professionals and develop trade relationships.

• Businesses can take advantage of captures of their wines by industry professionals as well as organically engage with trade user’s captures of other producers wines to understand their taste preferences.

Delectable Case – Press Engagement• Many influential wine writers

and bloggers use Delectable to share the wines that they experience everyday.

• A capture from an influencer can be a great opportunity for businesses to share the review to other channels and to engage with the reviewer.

• A positive review of a single wine can be a great opportunity to suggest additional recommendations or offer portfolio tasting/samples.

Delectable Case – Depletion/Sentiment• Producers can monitor delectable

captures for key customer depletions in order to market/sell more wine to them through alternative methods.

Best workflow for using VinTank on a daily basis• Log in at least once per day and review the most recent

conversations to you, about you and with you. Reply or favorite customer activity.

• Review each customers context before replying by viewing the customer details page.

• Leverage social media across your team by sharing posts with the most appropriate team member or asking for assistance.

• Review activity at your location via Nearby-Here. Thank customers, favorite posts and re-tweet positive experiences.

• Elite VinTank clients should use Nearby-Nearby to look for social prospects using the map/recent posts stream at least twice a day, start off with 11am and 2pm. Engage softly with potential customers.

Managing Conversations “To you, About you and With you”

• The Conversations tab contains the three most important types of customer interactions, all merged in one place.

• Conversations “To you” include when you are tagged in a Tweet, tagged in a Facebook post or posts to your Facebook Page

• Conversations “About you” include organic mentions of your brand found via social listening.*

• Conversations “With you” include anytime someone checks-in, Tweets from your location or takes an Instagram photo from your location

Managing Conversations “To you”• When customers

tag you, post to your Facebook Page or comment on your Facebook content, you should engage with them in a variety of ways.

• Like their post if you are tagged and comment to say thank you or reply to any questions

Managing Conversations “To you”

• When customers Tweet @ you or re-tweet you, favorite them and reply to say thank you or answer questions

• Remember that on Twitter, starting a tweet with an @ symbol (the default that happens when you click reply) is only visible to people who follow your profile and that of the person you are replying to

Managing Conversations “About You”

• Conversations “About you” can include mentions found using social listening. Sources can include social media posts in which you are not tagged, blog posts, forums, or tasting notes/reviews.

• Keep an eye out for mentions that warrant a response or for great customer generated content you can share to your social channels with permission.

• Use Custom Searches to see every conversation about your winemaker, competitors, nearby location, hashtag, marketing campaign or PR effort.

Where do we get “about you” conversations?• Conversations about you are collected by VinTank’s

powerful social listening capabilities.• Our social listening covers a wide range of sources

that your brand may be mentioned across the web including earned social media mentions (not tagged), blogs, forums, tasting notes, media (YouTube, Flickr etc) and more.

• Custom searches enable you to use social listening for any keywords of your choice such as a marketing campaign, winemaker name, special event or hashtag.

Managing Conversations “With You”

• If you have a physical location, your customers are very likely checking in, leaving tips, posting to Instagram and tweeting with location included in their posts

Managing Conversations “With You”• Conversations with you include all of the conversations with location attached.

While you will find these in your conversations stream, you can also view them separated into one unique stream under Nearby-Here, to easily engage with some of your most important customers, those at your location.

Managing Conversations “With You”

• Liking Instagram photos taken at your location shows appreciation and is a great way for people to find your Instagram profile (with the dual goals of customer service/increasing followers)

• Commenting is even more meaningful

Managing Conversations “With You”

• Comment on Instagram to say thanks for visiting, nice photo, or if there is additional context such as birthday, anniversary etc., you can congratulate them and personalize.

• Find key experiences happening at your location and send down extra service to enhance the experience (e.g. an Instagram photo of someone getting engaged can mean sending down glasses of champagne, a library wine or cheese plate for a birthday)

Using User Generated Content

• Customers often take great Instagram photos at your location or post great reviews of your wines to Delectable or other channels.

• After getting permission, you should repost this user content like pictures, tips and reviews to your own platforms.

Before answering a customer, first check their context• Click on the customer’s picture, name or handle to view:

– How many times they’ve interacted with you or you’ve interacted with them

– Their profile bio to learn about background, job or location– Their follower count to determine influence– Similar profiles that look like them to the right (and merge them if they

are the same person)– How many times they’ve spoken about wine*– If they are a DTC customer and how much they have spent with your

winery– If they are in any existing segments (see later sections about segments)*Coming soon

Gaining Insight About Each Social Customer

• Clicking on a customers name or profile picture anywhere in VinTank brings up their Customer Details page. There you will find all of the context about what this person means to your business, as well as the entire history of your interactions and conversations.

Gaining Insight About Each Social Customer

• Adding your customers to custom segments makes it easy to know why a person is important as well as helps you sort through them later

• Interactions are broken down, individually scored, and totaled to indicate brand advocacy. This enables you to rank your customers based on inbound and outbound engagement.

Examples of VinTank segments

• Merge the separate profiles by click on the down arrow

Gaining Insight with a 360° view of each customer

• At VinTank Pro and above we will try to automatically stitch social profiles together to give you a 360° view of each customer.

• Even if we stitch profiles, look over Similar Profiles for any you know to be the same person and merge them.

Gaining Insight with a 360° view of each customer

• Use the Insights tab two view two additional key components of context that are invaluable for helping you better understand a social customer before engaging with them, Recent and Wine.

Gaining Insight with a 360° view of each customer

• The Recent view on the Insights tab shows the customer’s current timeline with a summarization of the thematic categories from those posts represented as a word cloud.

• By seeing the conversations at a glance, you can quickly understand what is going on with your customer, their current topical interests, where they are, and more.

• This recent context will help you evaluate how you want to engage and give you opportunities for other interactions based on their stream.

• The Recent view is currently only available for Twitter profiles. Others are coming soon.

Gaining Insight with a 360° view of each customer

• Next to the Recent view are additional views with even deeper insight into the interests that we currently monitor.

• Wine is the first interest that we are supporting with Restaurants, Hotels, and Travel coming next. If we have any posts for a supported interest, selectors will be displayed for each interest.

• In this example, the Wine selector shows you a high level summary of their wine conversations based on key wine-related categories (vocabulary, varieties, wine types, classifications, regions/appellations and soon brands). A word cloud displays the most common words or phrases across all categories.

Leveraging Social Media Across Your Team

• We highly recommend adding as many users to your VinTank account as you can, even if the user won’t be posting to social media

Elite Social Prospecting and Lead Generation

Elite Social Prospecting and Lead Generation

• Nearby- Nearby includes a stream of location based Instagram and Twitter posts from nearby your venue

• Most recent posts are at the top

• If the person who posted has over 5000 followers they will be indicated as an Influencer

Elite Social Prospecting and Lead Generation

• Use the Nearby map to view exactly where the public Instagram and Twitter social signal is coming from

• Most recent posts are indicated by green pins

• Posts from profiles with over 5000 followers will be indicated as an Influencer and indicated by the dark orange pins

Elite Social Prospecting and Lead Generation

• Before deciding to reach out to a social customer, always review their bio, recent activity on the network(s) that triggered the signal, and any past interactions they’ve had with your business (using the Customer Details Page). This will give you context you need to make the best possible outreach

• Try to make your outreach personal based on what you learned about the social customer and their recent/past activity and interactions

Elite Social Prospecting and Lead Generation

• Be mindful of how your public facing stream looks as you perform outreach. For example, you don’t want your public timeline to be filled with repeated outreach attempts using the same call-to-action. Ensure you have balance in your timeline at all times. For Twitter, know the difference between starting your tweet with “@“ and any other character

• Add a Team Note to your outreach conversation in VinTank to help with tracking and consider assigning the conversation to TR staff so they are kept in the loop when/if the social customer comes to the TR

• It is important to note that there is not one size that fits all. Each business will need to adjust and experiment to find what works best
