(1888PressRelease) June 11, 2013 - Paris: iDealwine is taking a new step in its international development with the opening of a sales representation office dedicated to the Asian market. Based in Hong Kong, this office aims at facilitating access to iDealwine services, both commercially and logistically.

A Presence in Asia since 2009
In 2008, Hong Kong eliminated the import duty for wine, opening the way for an unprecedented development of the fine wine market in Asia. iDealwine immediately seized this opportunity, opening its services to Asian wine lovers early in 2009. iDealwine now delivers in many Asian countries: Hong Kong of course, but also Singapore and Japan, among others. Since 2010, iDealwine also participates in Hong Kong's International Wine and Spirits Fair with Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve. iDealwine's presence at this Fair has made it possible to establish fruitful contacts with local participants and professionals. It has also allowed iDealwine to build customer loyalty among the local buyers, attracted by the quality/price ratio of the wines on offer. iDealwine is accessible in both French and English. In its Chinese version, iDealwine's website proposes a quick presentation of its services: wine quotations, online auctions and fixed-price sales.

Door-to-door Delivery in Less than 10 Business Days
iDealwine is opening the Hong Kong office to facilitate the Asian customers' access to it services. The wines featured in the website's monthly online auctions constitute the core offer, the one that is most susceptible to interest this type of buyers: wines that have already reached maturity, available in small quantities, and at rates from 30% to more than 50% lower than those sold in Hong Kong.

For the Asian customers, the geographic barrier is down: iDealwine logistics services are adapted to deal with the growing purchasing volume coming from this zone. Multiple monthly deliveries to Hong Kong have already been put into place to ensure that Asian consumers benefit from competitive prices.

Orders are grouped on iDealwine's logistical platform in France and airmailed, before being home-delivered to clients in less than 10 days.

Increased Exposure for Sellers
Opening the Asian market constitutes a real opportunity for customers wishing to sell their cellar. The wine cellars on sale through the website benefit from increased visibility, and consequently better sales opportunities. Promotional offers dedicated to Asian buyers and prospects are already in place.

Claire Henry is our commercial representative (on site since April 2013) under the supervision of Lionel Cuenca, iDealwine's Deputy Managing Director. The website has no secrets for Claire Henry. She has managed iDealwine's client service in France for the past three years. The sales representation office is located in Hong Kong's central business district.

Cyrille Jomand, iDealwine's CEO, shares his enthusiasm: "The opening of the Hong Kong-based office for Asia marks an exciting step in iDealwine's development. 30% of our overall sale revenues come from foreign sales, and Asia is a rapidly expanding part of it."
