In February of 1989, Jeff Feinberg formed the independent sales and marketing company, Citadel Trading Corp., representing a portfolio of premium wine products. The concept of the company is to provide strong regional sales and marketing support to a small number of suppliers.
Based on National strategies, market objectives are outlined with both supplier and distributor. There is a clear plan of action designed to direct each brand towards achieving its market potential.
The business is actively managed. The philosophy is to direct efforts within the market, as well as throughout the ranks of distributor management teams and their sales force.
Citadel interacts as both an Importer and Broker Agent.
This proven formula for success, though not uncommon, is often not feasible for others to approach, as Citadel is a well organized, pro active company which is positioned as an extension of its suppliers. Communications are constant and open to ensure that priorities are always on track.
Citadel concentrates its efforts on premium wine products, both imported and domestic, throughout ten markets in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic; inclusive: of NY, NJ, MA, RI, CT, PA, DE, MD, Wash DC, VA, NC, SC, TN and TX. Market presence is supported through the efforts of a Regional Manager, Administrative Director, and Clerical Office staff.
