Italy’s global market
position:
The question is:How can small producers
compete?
@RekaHaros
Focusing on consumers
Understanding their needs and their emotional world
@RekaHaros
Brand vs. Origin?One does not exclude the other
@RekaHaros
Just understand where your
consumers areItaly or Abroad?
@RekaHaros
What do foreign consumers think about “country of origin”?
@RekaHaros
The value of “Made
In Italy” by county of
origin according to foreign consumers
Fonte: “Made In” the value of Country of Origin for future brands by FutureBrand @RekaHaros
The "Made in Italy" is important in brand communications! It offers companies the opportunity to create competitive advantage and differentiation
It guides consumer purchasing decisions
The "Made in Italy" ranks second most valuable in the category of Food & Beverage
@RekaHaros
But be careful not to create too much confusion@RekaHaros
Italian denominations are confusing
More than 300 DOC
More than 70 DOCG
Imagine if all wineries talk about their origins!
@RekaHaros
Effective communication of
"Made In Italy"Should not be done through the registered designations of origin but through four key areas:1. Authenticity: The production of
unique products and services has to be related to the history, people and geographical situations of the country.
2. Differentiation: proving a different cultural approach from competitors.
3. Quality Standards: showing commitment to safety, craftsmanship, excellence and production transparency.
4. Competence: to be identified as the 'best' in a category or have created or defined a category.
Fonte: “Made In” the value of Country of Origin for future brands by FutureBrand @RekaHaros
The combination of these four areas becomes a powerful
engine for the differentiation and the authenticity of a
brand.@RekaHaros
The more a brand is associated with a country of origin that has
1) unique products, 2) diffirentiated message, 3) an authentic experience
4) high standards of quality in its own category,
the more likely a consumer considers it.Fonte: “Made In” the value of Country of Origin for future brands by FutureBrand
@RekaHaros
So, the 'Made in Italy' in our industry is especially important if our consumers are abroad!
@RekaHaros
And in Italy? How can a brand benefit from its origin?
@RekaHaros
P A T R I O T I S MDone locally
@RekaHaros
Because the #1 brand in Italy is Tavernello!

with the giants in the same battle field!

Purposeful Branding
Is what adds value and differentiates
@RekaHaros
A purposeful comedian does not think about how he can be
funny, but tries to understand why
people laugh.

A purposeful shoe designer does not just consider what will look good on you, but how it
will make you feel wearing it.

A purposeful architect does
not just take into account the
orientation of the building, he/she
is also concerned about how people
feel inside.

A purposeful winemaker should
not only make good wines, but should
think about how its wines will make
people feel when and where they drink it.

The purpose of a producer
must not only be to sell wine, but to attract
and retain consumers.

@RekaHaros
A small winery can compete if:1. It puts the consumer at the center of its business strategy2. Creates a strong purposeful brand to differentiate itself3. Can clearly define its own market4. Maintains a flexible and innovative mindset, keeping pace with
the changing needs of consumers5. Doesn’t do what the giants do6. Has the courage to be different
