MAY IS OREGON WINE MONTH!
MAY 1 - 31
How to get the most from the #oregonwinemonth marketing efforts.
We celebrate Willamette Valley wine all year round, but especially during Oregon Wine Month, when the entire state joins in commemoration of our beloved industry for the month of May, offering special activities and promotions for the enjoyment of Oregon wine!
There is no cost for members to participate in the Willamette Valley In Bloom marketing promotion. Simply submit your events and special offers and they will automatically be included in our promotions via the website, email marketing, and social media.
There are several ways to participate in this campaign. The more content you post, the more visitors you will have to your WVWA listing and your website. You can track your traffic on WV Portal under My Benefits.
Please contact Membership Manager Julie Dalrymple with any questions.

Use #mayinwinecountry #oregonwinemonth and @wvwines in posts on your social channels so that we can re-share and add them to our social streams. (Reminder: You must tag us @wvwines in your instagram stories for us to be able to share them!) The hashtag #wvwines is always ongoing, so use that, too.
We are especially seeking high-quality photos that depict quintessentially Oregon wine country scenes: new growth on the vine, mountain views, vineyards lined by evergreen trees, and happy guests enjoying the start of event season. Send Julie your high-quality original (not linked from Instagram) photos. Remember that authenticity is the key to great social media. Be yourself and speak for yourself.

EMAIL MARKETING CALENDAR
It's a good idea to anticipate the upcoming campaign and make sure your WVWA website profile is consistently up-to-date the week prior to the send date. Call-to-action links are included in each outgoing campaign and lead to curated listing pages that speak to specific email content. Updated profiles are statistically more likely to get "clicks" and "likes". Maintaining your business profile means increased traffic for your website and business.
