Golden Gate Wine was a small company with a lack of funds.

They desperately needed to increase their profits (who doesn’t ;))
without investing more into acquiring new userbase (is it possible? ;)).

Actually, they managed to more than double (2.5x) their sales by following these steps:

1. They scrubbed their list of contacts into one place from various
places like email lists, CRM, piles of business cards, and spreadsheets.

2. Then they married the contacts with data about what they bought, what emails they clicked, etc.

3. Then they analyzed everything and were able to discover the high-value segments they already had like these:

  • VIPs who frequently buy
  • Wine preferences like the Chardonnay lovers or the Rex Goliath fanatics
  • Business types including hotels, restaurants, clubs, and others with unique needs
  • Total purchases showing who’s spent the most
  • Recent meetings giving insight into warm leads to follow up with right now

4. Then they sent personalized follow up multi-channel promotions to clients.

For example, those who love Chardonnay received follow up offers for Chardonnays they haven’t tried yet.

Result: 2.5x more sales without acquiring new users.
