We were later told that, as a business, we should have created a fan page instead. We did create a fan page, but are having a difficult time getting the established group members to move over. I think that people believe that they are already a member of the group, so why join the fan page. We have around 800 people in our group, which likely would have gotten us in the Top 50 Wineries on Facebook. You may want to see if other wineries did the same thing we did and started with a group. Thanks for the great stats. In our case, we didn't realize that we should have a fan page and started with a Facebook Group.

Some excellent points come out of this article. One of the most telling to me is the fact that the top 5 wineries could be viewed as small players in the industry, their fan base is small considering the amount of wine consumed, and the big wineries don't seem to have active pages in place. One thing is for sure--conversations are going on everyday about the most popular and largest wineries in the US. Most of them are not leveraging the space. As to the Linkedin comments you have been getting: 1. Facebook may catch and pass Google for visits; they are not going away 2. Twitter is being proven as a multiple featured tool no matter how many naysayers throw water on the site 3. First adopters of social media have a huge advantage, can apply pressure, and secure their future as nearly every publication goes online--for good Well done Richard!
