What does Social Selling entail, and how does the "Sales Box" approach differ from the conventional sales funnel?

Social selling is a modern sales approach that uses social media to engage customers and drive sales. At Picks, we've transformed this concept with our dynamic "Sales Box." Comprising Observation, Profiling, Engagement, and Personalization, the Sales Box enhances social selling's effectiveness. It collects customer insights, crafts taste profiles, tailors engagement strategies, and offers personalized recommendations. Together, social selling and the Sales Box enable alcohol brands to create meaningful interactions, foster loyalty, and boost sales through personalized customer experiences.

What are Picks Retail Shelf Talkers?

Picks Retail Shelf Talkers are eye-catching tags that retailers can enroll in our program to display on their shelves. These tags showcase detailed information about each bottle, including its overall palate, detailed taste profile, and community ratings. By using Retail Shelf Talkers, retailers enhance the shopping experience and enable customers to make informed decisions about their purchases. This program also reduces the dependency on store associates' knowledge alone, providing customers with valuable insights while browsing the shelves.

What are Packs on Picks' Shop?

Packs on PicksShop are curated collections of beverages, powered by technology and enabled by the community. These blind sample packs are designed to provide a unique and interactive tasting experience. By offering a variety of beverages tailored to specific themes or occasions, Packs allow you to explore flavors from around the world and discover new taste profiles without any preconceived notions. Whether you're a novice or an enthusiast, Packs offer an exciting journey of discovery. Explore Packs to uncover new flavors, find perfect selections for your gatherings, and delve into the world of beverages like never before.

Can you explain how the Taste Quiz works?

Completing the Taste Quiz is one of the ways to unlock your personalized taste profile and receive instant bottle recommendations perfectly suited to your unique palate. Our Taste Quiz sets itself apart from others by leveraging cutting-edge AI technology. Rather than merely comparing your responses to products in our database, we use machine learning to identify your palate based on how it aligns with the tastes of our vibrant community. By analyzing your responses alongside others with similar tastes, we curate expert recommendations that match your preferences. This personalized approach leads to better recommendations and an enhanced drink exploration experience, making it easier than ever to discover delightful flavors that elevate your sipping journey. Whether you choose the Taste Quiz or prefer to try different beverages through actual tastings, Picks offers you the flexibility to curate an extraordinary drink exploration journey that perfectly suits your preferences.

What are Picks' future plans?

Picks is constantly evolving, with plans to expand our offerings, engage more brands, create immersive personalized AR shopping experiences, and enhance our AI capabilities. We're committed to redefining the future personalized shopping experience.
