What Was Wine Library's Biggest Business Shift?

Our reading notes on Gary Vaynerchuk

• How to Turn Views on Social Media into Customers for Your Business

  Vaynerchuk describes using organic video to identify promising creative, then pairing it with a clear offer when it reaches people again. A well-watched demonstration supplies a candidate for an ad. Whether people understood what was for sale remains a separate question that a customer conversation or a purchase can help answer.

• Alternative Sports’ Future Rise and What It Means to Everyone

  Vaynerchuk connects the growth of emerging sports to the experience of their earliest fans. The notes name two ways into a league, an individual athlete’s personality and attachment to a team. Those entry points call for different introductions even when they lead to the same match.

• The Mid-Funnel is the Biggest Opportunity in Marketing

  Vaynerchuk discusses Wine Library with Jon Evans and connects relevance to the period between noticing a business and deciding to buy. Someone who knows a shop exists may still be unable to choose a bottle for dinner. Answering that middle question gives organic material a job beyond announcing an offer.
