Direct Shipping 'Virtual' Seminar for Wineries

October 16, 2008, 10AM PT

Join us for the next installment of our free series of virtual seminars on shipping compliance! This seminar is uniquely presented in a virtual format allowing you to participate via a web browser and a phone line. Don't miss this opportunity to hear the latest updates from the experts without leaving your desk!

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.
