Coming Up:   Direct Shipping 'Virtual' Seminar.    October 16th.    At your desk.

Join us for the next installment of our free series of virtual seminars on shipping compliance!

Event Summary

New this year, we are running separate Virtual Seminars for wineries and retailers. This October 16th event is geared towards wineries. We will be holding a Virtual Seminar for Retailers the following week, October 23rd. Please click here to learn more about that event.

Taking orders directly from your customers can create a more personal connection to the winery, allows them access to a wider variety of wines, and provides your winery with a higher margin sale. Unfortunately there are barriers to accessing this channel, such as individual state shipping rules, direct shipping license applications, accurate tax collection, and reporting requirements.

Whether you have an established direct shipping program or you're just getting started, staying up to date on the latest rules and regulations is an important (and time consuming) first step.

• Director State Relations at Wine Institute, Steve Gross, will present a state-by-state report of recent and upcoming changes.
• Special guest speaker, Tom Ourada of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, will introduce the new direct shipping program implemented in Wisconsin, taking effect October 1, 2008.
• Presenters FedEx and ShipCompliant will show you tools and best practices for making your direct shipping program cost effective and compliant.
