Signature Wines Continues Growth Trajectory Adding New University Customers
Reinforces Position as Foremost Custom Label Wine Partner for Alumni Associations
HAYWARD, Calif. - May 5, 2003 - Signature Wines, a premier provider of custom label wines and distinctive wine labels for businesses, professional organizations and individual consumers, has signed three new University Alumni Association contracts with Miami University in Ohio, University of Maryland and the US Merchant Marine Academy, further extending the company's leadership in the marketplace.
"We are continuing to experience tremendous success in the marketplace, and especially with university alumni associations, where we've demonstrated a thorough understanding of their unique marketing and distribution requirements," said Scott Cahill, CEO for Signature Wines. "Countless organizations, including University Alumni Associations, see the tremendous benefits of custom label wine programs for helping to extend brand image, grow revenues and increase affinity and loyalty for customers, partners and in this case, graduates."
Many university alumni organizations looking for ways to establish loyalty and maintain affinity to their schools have partnered with Signature Wines. Signature Wines' University Division offers a year round, custom label, collectible series wine program as a distinctive way of helping university alumni associations further develop school affinity while generating additional revenues on a year-round basis. University Alumni Associations across the nation have contracted with Signature Wines. A sampling of university clients include: The Citadel, Georgia Tech, University of Michigan, University of Nebraska, Northwestern University, University of California at Davis, UCLA, USC, U.S. Naval Academy and West Point.
"We are excited to launch a year-round alumni wine program with Signature Wines," said Jennifer Clark, associate director of membership for the Miami University Alumni Association. "Miami University has offered an extremely popular wine-tasting course for many years, which is fondly remembered by our alumni. This year at Reunion Weekend 2003 we will debut both a new Reunion College wine tasting course and the Miami University Alumni Association Signature Wine collection."
