COMPANIES TO LOOKOUT FOR

Instead of using the yellow pages to call a local store or driving around in search of a particular product the Vinelist uses technology to enable users to post product requests and connect them to relevant local partner stores. The company charges local stores a subscription fee to get access to very targeted pre-qualified leads that are generated through this process of posting by consumers. Since launching in 2016 over 1000 leads have been generated with 67% resulting in stores visits and 35% converting to products purchased from the stores Vinelist recommended.
