Big Thirst's fearless leader, CEO & Founder Matt McGinnis, was recently quoted in Park Street's 2024 Guide to Alcohol E-Commerce Strategy! 🚀📈 As e-commerce in the alcohol industry skyrocketed from $85M in 2018 to $977M in 2023, Matt shared, "Online sales are a great way to reach consumers beyond your distribution footprint. Expanding your potential sales is only one advantage of e-commerce. Gaining access to sales data and consumer insights from online sales is just as important. Choose an e-commerce provider that provides outstanding data analytics to help you improve your sales and marketing and determine which states are important to your growth." Navigating the complex web of federal, state, and local E-commerce laws is crucial for taking advantage of digital sales while avoiding liability issues. E-commerce expenses, such as provider fees, packaging, shipping (averaging $15-$20 per bottle), and credit card processing, can impact profitability. Additionally, state licensing and franchise laws add layers of complexity, making it essential to work with third-party providers and legal advisors to ensure compliance. With innovations like online retailers, DTC sales, subscription services, and on-demand delivery, the landscape is rapidly evolving. Parkstreet's guide forecasts a 7% annual growth rate for e-commerce from 2023-2027. Leveraging data analytics, digital marketing, social media, and high-quality product imagery will be key strategies to stay ahead in this dynamic market. Cheers to innovation and strategic growth! 🥂💡 #AlcoholEcommerce #IndustryLeader #BigThirst #Innovation #Strategy #DigitalMarketing #DataAnalytics #EcommerceSuccess Download the full guide in the link below.
