The time to expand the PortoVino Wine Purse collection has come

PORTOVINO WINE PURSE ACQUIRES THE SWANKEY BEVERAGE TOTE BAG, THE PERFECT, BIGGER SIZE, ADDITION TO THEIR COLLECTION OF CONVENIENT AND FASHIONABLE WINE PURSES

The time to expand the PortoVino Wine Purse collection has come. The “fashion meets functionality” company recently made a super-size addition to their already incredible collection of wine bags by acquiring the Swankey Beverage Tote Bag.

Portovino, the Wine Lover’s go-to purse brand, allows you to discreetly store and pour up to 2 bottles of wine, or your favorite drink “on the go”, and the new addition to the collection, now brings even more to the table. The Swankey Tote, or as we like to call it, the Supersized PortoVino, not only allows you to fill up the included beverage pouch with up to 4 bottles of wine or 3L of any beverage hot or cold, but you can also insert and 3L boxed wine pouch in it. This new Swankey is designed with a built-in cooler, so you can fill it up with a 6 pack of cans and all of your picnic items. It is essentially your everyday bag with a stealthy cooler attached all while adding a stylish pop of color to your outfit and making life much easier. You can bring the Swankey Tote bag with you to all kinds of events, filling it up with water for hot days, mixed drinks for festivals, or cold brew for busy moms on the go.

Much like the PortoVino, The Swankey Tote is your everyday bag but unlike your average everyday bag, it has a secret, zippered, and insulated compartment for the wine pouch that is separate from the actual bag. The Swankey’s compartment is deigned like its own cooler and is big enough to store the 3-liter capacity beverage pouch that is included with each tote, or you can easily replace it with any of the smaller 750ml or 1.5L beverage pouches that PortoVino offers and have extra room for any snacks you’d like to keep cool. The Swankey can dub as a cooler for anything you would like to keep cold or hot. The value is unbeatable, and just like the rest of the PortoVino Wine purse collections, the Swankey Tote also includes a flap that covers the pouring spouts, as well as interior pockets that can hold your phone, keys, and your mask while you take a quick sip.

Not only will you now be able to choose whether you want a more formal leather purse or a fun and colorful one with an assortment of different patterns to choose from, but you will also be able to choose by capacity. Portovino allows you to choose between 1 bottle or 2 bottle pouches, and now with the amount of space in the Swankey Tote you’ll have enough wine to provide for all of your friends. Whether you decide to utilize the function of taking your wine on the go or using them as your favorite fashion accessory for everyday use, you will always create a buzz, so pick your poison and be ready to be everyone’s official favorite friend.

About PortoVino

The PortoVino purse, which notably stores and pours up to 2 bottles of wine from a secret insulated compartment, is making fast strides in the fashion industry. Since their 2017 launch, their collection has more than tripled with fashion accessories ranging from their classic vegan leather wine bags to their trendy messenger bags, to their insanely popular Double Pour Tuscany totes. There is truly something available for everyone’s personal style esthetic.

PortoVino is also socially conscious, and since 2016 has partnered with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) organization. FMSC is a Christian based non-profit organization that coordinates the packaging and distribution of food to people in developing nations. Since 1987, it has reached out to more than 70 countries. For every PortoVino purse purchased, one meal is donated to Feed My Starving Children.

How to make your home-run business glamorous and fun

work at home business woman

If you think of the word business, maybe you think of something dull, monochrome, and just plain boring. There sometimes seems to be very little enjoyment in business, and all we ever hear about are money-hungry tycoons or entrepreneurs who constantly put up-and-coming rivals down for their own pleasure after telling them to reach for their dreams. 

There are many ways that your own business could be fun and glamorous if that’s where your target audience is, and they can really help your business become a cut above the monotonous rest. With that in mind, here is how you can make your home business glamorous and fun to suit your target audience and stand out to customers. 

Have a professional photo shoot to make a connection with your audience

Everyone wants to know that who they are emailing about issues with products is a real human being. Having professional photos taken of you and your team can help build a strong connection between you and your customers. If they see that people of their age and gender mainly run the business, they are more likely to purchase from you. Looking at Chicago corporate photography, you can find just what you need to build that initial trust with your clients. 

WORK WITH FUN & EXCITING BRANDS THAT YOU LOVE

You quickly learn that it doesn’t have to be you versus the world. If you are a blogger, influencer, or affiliate marketer, working with brands you love is vital. Aside from making your days more enjoyable, your authentic passion for the products will shine through. Using platforms like the MaryKayInTouch site for independent beauty consultants can work wonders. If nothing else, it allows you to leverage success from another company’s products while also building your reputation through association with a great brand.

Alternatively, if you manage a store or eCommerce site, it’s important to stock quality items from great brands. Even if you operate a small service-based business, partnerships with other fun companies may open the door to a plethora of exciting opportunities.

Take your time when it comes to your business’s social media and blogging

Social media can make your business feel more personable. It can help you keep in contact with your loyal customers, make announcements, and build a brand identity. You can share interests, events and share promotional content. This can be an excellent way to add some glamour and fun to your business, as you can have some fun with posts and videos about your team and your products and create a safe and light-hearted atmosphere to separate you from the herd. 

Keep your tone friendly but still highly professional

Keeping your emails and blog posts light-hearted and friendly but with a professional approach can be a great way to get customers to trust your business. This can help you build bonds with already established and loyal customers and can make your business feel like a safe space. 

If you own an eCommerce business, package things by hand with little thank you notes

This makes your customer’s purchases feel personal and appreciated. By hand wrapping and putting a handwritten thank you note in the parcel, it can really help make the whole ‘unboxing’ experience so much more enjoyable and fun, which can entice customers to buy again. 

Also, if a customer’s friend comments on the product, your customer can respond with ‘it even came with a little thank you note’, which makes you more memorable. This one thing can be a great way to increase your publicity and a good advertising technique without putting in too much effort. 

This makes your business fun and memorable at the same time, which are utterly invaluable to a home-run small business.

Ways to Encourage Innovation in Your Business

Innovation is something that every business owner should strive for, as this is how you take the business forward, find new levels of success, improve your brand reputation, and much more. While there are many perks to innovation, and it is important to prevent falling behind, it is also something that does not come easily; otherwise, everyone would be doing it. Innovation and creativity in a business setting can be challenging, especially when you have an established way of working and have not changed much in recent times. Fortunately, there are a few tips that should encourage innovation and creativity and help your business to move forward.

Learn From Mistakes

First, you should spend some time thinking back through your company’s history and reflecting on the decisions that have been made. In particular, you should focus on any mistakes or decisions that did not deliver the expected result and try to learn what you can from these. Mistakes are inevitable in the business world, particularly when looking to innovate, but you should always frame these as learning opportunities and try to find ways to improve moving forward.

Customer Surveys

It is always a good idea to go to your customers when looking for ways to innovate and improve – the customer is always right, as they say. Surveys are one of the best ways to do this and could allow you to discover ways to improve your business that could have been otherwise hard to spot; plus, this is also a smart way to create stronger relationships with your existing customers.

Diversity Recruitment

Staff can often have the best ideas when it comes to innovation, especially if you have prioritized diversity recruitment and have a diverse workforce with different backgrounds, experiences, and ideas. You should use inclusive diversity platforms that can leverage data and automation to help you to create a more inclusive and diverse workforce, which can bring a multitude of benefits, with one being the chance for greater innovation within the company.

Asking Staff

Following on from this, you should be encouraging employees to come forward with their ideas, no matter how big or small. Employees are the ones carrying out the key tasks each day, so often, they have ideas for ways to improve or are simply more aware of issues than those in management. Creating a supportive environment where staff can feel confident in coming forward will always lead to innovation as well as help employees to feel important and valued.

Research

While innovation and creativity sometimes strike from nowhere, they often need to be found, which means that you need to make time for research and brainstorming. This is tricky when running a business, so you might want to delegate some of your work or task someone else with researching new ideas and finding ways to innovate. It is also important to focus on the right areas, which means prioritizing areas of the business that need improving.

Hopefully, this post will spark inspiration and help you to bring innovation into your business and enjoy the benefits that this can bring.
