We’ll review the different types of clubs you can offer customers and show you the tools for managing clubs of any size.
Gift cards are not just for holidays. Every day is a great day to gift. When customers give gift cards they evangelize your brand and introduce your wines to new customers. For this Learn Event we’ve assembled a panel of wineries and wine marketers to talk about digital and physical gift cards and how they use them to grow DTC business.
When guests come, are you making the most of it? In this session, we’ll work through ways to drive traffic – thinking outside the box – and then focus on how we can generate more revenue in the tasting room with the traffic and guests we get.

If you can even find the right people, the cost of hiring and training is extremely high, so high turn-over is not what we want either. During this Learn Event we’ll take a deep dive into how we’re recruiting, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, compensating and retaining staff. In this session, WISE will help you think through your processes and give insights on what works, what doesn’t, steps to great hiring, and ways to keep your superstars, yours.

Shortly thereafter, she was drawn into direct to consumer sales via wine clubs and e-commerce at Mumm Napa, where she led a team to rebrand the wine club, establishing it as one of the largest wine clubs in the country.
