SUMMARY:Take part in International Sherry Week (8-14 Nov)
DESCRIPTION:Register your venue’s Sherry Week event today!\n  \nWhat Is International Sherry Week?\nNow in its 8th year\, International Sherry Week (ISW) is a successful global initiative started by Chelsea Anton\, an Australian living in Spain: https://www.sherry.wine/sherryweek \n\nISW is extremely simple – if a venue serves Sherry\, then they can join in and get some great exposure – it only takes a few minutes to register! \n\nIn previous ISW’s\, activities by venues in Australia have included:\n– 50% off all sherries during the week\n– Sherry tasting flights\n– Sherry Dinners\n– Virtual tastings\n– In-store tastings\n\n\nWhat’s in it for venues?\nWith lockdowns in Melbourne and Sydney set to lift in the next few weeks consumers are already looking for fun\, engaging events to attend. This is a simple point of difference for venues to stand out it what will be a crowded\, attention-seeking market.\n\nNot only is it some free marketing via inclusion in the ISW website and global digital marketing campaign\, it’s profitable with margins for premium Sherry well above average.\n\nTo make it easy for venues to promote their Sherry Week event there are free posters to download including a version where venues can include their own event details and display.\n\nThey can also download a sherry and food pairing wheel\, tasting mats for 3\, 4\, 5 and 6 wines\, infographics\, and a Tapas and Sherry e-book.\n\nIf venues would like more info about Sherry for their staff\, here is a link to an intro article written to make it easy.\n\nFor more information and to register your International Sherry Week event visit: https://www.sherry.wine/sherryweek
