Wine Flirts and Wallflowers: The Different Drop Story | #162

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Tom Hollings from Different Drop.  Tom is a self-confessed wine flirt whose passion turned into an eCommerce business.  With a focus on wines crafted by real people with a sense of adventure and authenticity, Different Drop unearths the best and most exciting drops from producers all over Australia and with some great tech know-how, makes them accessible to all.  In today’s chat we cover a heap of ground from how he and his Co-founder Brett, started the business from Brett’s mum’s garage in 2003, how they pivoted to doing their own delivery and what he learnt from meeting the great Ricky Ponting.  And we ask a very controversial question - ice cubes in red wine. Passable or hell no? Tackling the big issues here. Links from the episode:Different DropLuke LambertSami-OdieTerroirOnFleet  Disrupting a Dog’s Dinner: The Scratch Story | #056The Art of a Good Drop: The Digital Wine Ventures Story | #068GorgiasZendeskKlaviyoArigato AutomationOkendoAirtablePonting WinesSignet and Little Wilding Co (sponsored)Shopify Plus and W Titley & Co (sponsored)Questions answered:How and why did you pivot to doing your own delivery?What’s your approach to content?Tell us your top tech recommendations?Thanks to our sponsors, Shopify and Klaviyo, for bringing you the show.Sponsor Add To Cart: https://addtocart.com.au/sponsor/ Hosted on Acast.
