5 Game-Changing Tips to Skyrocket Your Wine Club Engagement and Retention
08/22/2024

The fifth session of the 2nd Annual Wine Club Symposium was packed with insider tips on how to harness the power of data to enhance wine club engagement and retention. Here are the top five game-changing takeaways from the session “Insider Tips to Boost Club Engagement and Retention Using Data,” featuring experts from Enolytics and Bergstrom Wines.



1. Spot At-Risk Members Before They Leave

With an industry turnover rate of 28% in 2023, keeping an eye on at-risk members is critical. Data tools like those from Enolytics can help identify members at high risk of leaving by analyzing buying behavior, tenure, and engagement levels. By targeting these members with personalized communication, you can dramatically reduce attrition by up to 30%.


2. Embrace Demographic Shifts

Your wine club’s demographic is evolving, and understanding these changes is key to maintaining relevance. The session highlighted how data can reveal shifts in age groups and purchasing patterns, enabling wineries to tailor experiences and marketing strategies to appeal to a younger, more diverse audience.



3. Customize Offers Based on Purchase History

Leverage data to predict what your members want next. Using basket analysis, wineries can identify which products are often bought together and customize club shipments accordingly. This approach not only satisfies customer preferences but also encourages upselling, driving higher revenue per member.


4. Use Geographic Data to Target the Right Audience

Knowing where your customers are located can make or break your marketing efforts. Geographic heat maps allow wineries to pinpoint high-performing regions and tailor marketing campaigns to specific locales. This targeted approach is especially useful for planning roadshows and local events that resonate with your audience.


5. Re-engage Former Members with Strategic Outreach

Don’t let past members slip away for good. Data tools can help identify former members who are still purchasing outside the club, offering a prime opportunity for re-engagement. By understanding why they left and tailoring your outreach accordingly, you can successfully bring them back into the fold.
