Choosing a new wine, is like choosing a new digital marketing platform, it’s all about the journey.

Choosing a new wine can seem daunting and as Tony Laithwaite suggests “for customers to try a new wine we need to add a little extra – in addition to tasty wine at a great price!”. So, this article is going to appeal to wine loving cyclists!

The Spotler Side

This author is no expert on the intricacies of competitive cycling. The first thing that come to mind when talking about “Le Tour” is the jerseys awarded to the overall leader as well as specific stage leaders.

The way this relates to marketing is simple; no individual has every held all the jerseys in a single year. As with competition in any industry, there will be areas where you are miles ahead of your rivals, and areas where you simply cannot compete. It’s important to embrace this and concentrate on what you do best. Otherwise you will spread yourself too thin, and end up losing contests that you should win, simply because of a lack of focus.
