Lessons Learned from the NY Mystery Shopper Project, with Jennifer Warrington, WISE Academy

In 2022, NYWGF’s longstanding relationship with the WISE Academy resulted in the opportunity to provide ten winery members with a FREE Mystery Shopper analysis. From these results, WISE provided valuable intel to help us understand more about our overall industry strengths and areas of opportunities for sales growth. Join us for this information breakfast roundtable gathering to discuss the results of this project and chat about lessons learned for the Finger Lakes, Long Island and beyond. This will be an informal discussion group with a brief presentation overview of the Mystery Shopper project first. Please grab your breakfast and join us by 8:15am.
