How to get more revenue from your wine club
To boost revenue from your wine club, the key lies in attracting and retaining members by delivering new value and engaging experiences. That may sound easier said than done - but here’s a quick win that can both revitalize your wine club and accelerate your winery’s digital transformation.
Wine clubs have long been a reliable revenue stream for wineries. But today, a combination of micro and macroeconomic pressures has led to declining sign-ups and lower retention rates.
The good news? A powerful and growing social trend offers a clear path forward: Social Buying: the consumer desire to purchase together with friends, family, colleagues, or club communities.
Innovative wineries are now reimagining their wine clubs to align with this trend, transforming them into vibrant social experiences where members connect and engage like never before.
This is where Cobuyr comes in. Our group payments, data, and analytics solution integrates directly with your e-commerce platform, allowing wine club members and customers to purchase wine collectively - right from your website.
Online group buying is a game-changer. It creates a unique, community-driven buying experience that reactivates your membership base, drives sales, and amplifies word-of-mouth marketing. Best of all, it makes your wine club more accessible, letting customers join from the comfort of their own homes.
Group wine buying also enhances existing member benefits like complimentary tastings, member-only discounts, and exclusive events while simplifying the path for new members to join online.
Even better, it delivers valuable data and insights about your customers and members, allowing you to personalize communications, improve targeting, and increase customer lifetime value.
Ready to get started? Here are five practical ways to integrate group wine buying into your wine club—and inspire members to engage and purchase more:
Reward Behavior: Offer loyalty points or discounts to members who participate in group purchases.
Recognize Referrals: Incentivize members to invite friends or colleagues to buy together.
Special Offers: Give members early or exclusive access to limited-edition wines.
Personalized Buying Groups: Let members create their own wine-buying circles with curated experiences and special offers.
Flexible Memberships: For members considering cancellation, offer the option to split their wine allocations with friends.
