Top 5 Customer Segments to Target Now, Proven to Drive Revenue

Start Time

10:00 AM

End Time

10:50 AM

"Segment your customer data" are cool buzzwords right now, pointing to the strategy of offering exactly the right offer to exactly the right people at exactly the right time. Narrowing the audience for a particular DTC offering, which is essentially the opposite of the spray-and-pray approach, makes sense. But does it work? And how do you actually do it? Join DTC marketing expert Laura Simons, and Chris Huyghe from Enolytics, for this insightful session designed to inspire! And to plant seeds of ideas to grow revenue for your own winery.

We’ll break down what works, share real-world success stories, and offer practical tips to help you:

  • Plan and launch engaging road shows—across town or across the globe
  • Build stronger relationships with your biggest fans, wherever they are
  • Measure what matters, so you know what’s working and why

Beyond the Bottle — Loyalty Deep Dive

July 16th

Start Time

09:00 AM

End Time

Why do some members stay for years while others quit after a few shipments? Industry veteran Brian Baker (Cultivar Wine) sits down with Jason Curtis to explore the psychology of loyalty—from storytelling and scarcity to concierge-level service and gamification. Hear real-world examples and cross-industry hacks you can adapt to boost retention without relying on deep discounts. You’ll leave with a checklist of loyalty levers to test in your own club next quarter.
