Challenge
Defiance Ridge Vineyards had a loyal customer base but faced challenges in attracting new visitors, particularly during the offseason. While regular patrons consistently returned, the vineyard struggled to engage new audiences and broaden its market reach.
The team recognized an opportunity to expand their customer base by identifying and targeting new market segments. However, without access to comprehensive customer data and behavioral insights, it was difficult to determine where to focus marketing efforts or how to appeal to new visitors. To address this, they needed a strategic, data-driven approach to guide their marketing and customer engagement initiatives.
