How Wine Access uses Maker to power their membership funnel and critical category pages

As a growing wine-retailer that builds deep connections with its featured winemakers, Wine Access needed a cost-efficient solution to bring their retail content-marketing vision to life. With a variety of category headers, blog articles and landing pages to enhance, Maker's technology enabled their marketing team to push enhanced content at a rapid rate and at a significantly lower cost.

In the first year, Wine Access created over 140 pages of content with Maker, over 50 of which are still live on their site. Using Maker's Photoshop conversion technology, their designers have created engaging, media-rich PSD files that were easily converted into fully responsive web pages. 

Overall, Maker's technology has significantly increased their production rate while saving $50,000 in production costs.

About Wine Access

"The world's finest wine is made in limited quantities. Finding them is the hard part. That's what we do."

Wine experts have tasted over 20,000 wines in the curation of Wine Access' online collection - of which only 3% were selected. Quality over quantity runs deep in this wine retailer's ethos. Integral to their mission is elevating the culture and craft of winemaking, rather than the margins and middlemen. By shaping and sharing the stories of their wines and winemakers, Wine Access aims to take us all to extraordinary places, beyond our own expectations and even comfort zones: 

"It’s time to bring wine, wine lover, and winemaker together. To replace exclusivity with curiosity, and pretension with delight. To create a richer experience in every bottle, and ultimately make every day more meaningful. " 
“At Wine Access we love wine, and we love connecting people with extraordinary wine and the stories behind them. Maker give us the ability to do this.
