Multi-Brand Producers

If you are a producer that produces multiple brands, then you should setup yourself up as a Multi-Brand Producer in Bottlebooks.

What is a considered a separate brand in Bottlebooks?  

Every unique brand profile needs a separate account in Bottlebooks. If a collection of your products has a unique producer profile, for instance a unique logo, then you will need a separate account in Bottlebooks to manage those wines. All your accounts can be managed with your current login (email and password).

Example - one account needed

Winemaker Wilhelm has created a Reserve Collection of wines. He wants the consumer to know that the Reserve Collection is from Wiengut Wilhelm, like the rest of his wines.

Example - two accounts needed (multi-brand producers)

Chateaux Paris has created a new line of wines called OuiOuiOui for younger customers. Although they are made by the same company, at the same location, the producer does not want OuiOuiOui to be associated with the older, Chateaux Paris brand, and so they create a new account for OuiOuiOui on Bottlebooks. The Producer has setup two websites to denote this difference.

How is a Multi-Brand Producer setup?

A multi-brand account is an umbrella account for all your brands where you maintain and share all your products. Each brand has its own account.  Accounts can be for white-label brands, brands with the same name as the multi-brand producer, another brand owned by the multi-brand producer or even another brand from another producer.  

How does a Multi-Brand Producer exchange information?

The Multi-Brand Prodcuer account manages all the wine in a master portfolio.  These individual accounts are independent and can be controlled by you, meaning they can also share product information. 

How do I setup a Multi-Brand account?

To manage your accounts in Bottlebooks, scroll over your logo or first letter in the very top right corner of any screen.
