I bet you didn't think about it (I sure didn't). But almost any big event can be an opportunity to promote your wines in an interesting fashion.
Here's a clever World Cup marketing program that sells web design books, of all things.
If computer geeks can do it, so can your winery. It just takes a little imagination and planning. This sort of thing becomes easier if you have a (rolling) 12-month plan for marketing your wine online, something I highly recommend.
For another interesting take on monthly wine marketing on your winery Web site, take a look at what Swanson Vineyards is doing. Each month they have a specific lifestyle-related promotion, featured on their homepage. Of course, you have to commit to updating your Web site every month, but you should already be doing that.
That book promo is pretty cool, wish I had thought of that... All Star Game, anyone?
Update at least once a month absolutely. But make sure your "price pints" match between the promo page and the product page! (NB: I make boo boos too.)
