Scenario: We offer two first-come-first-serve allocation releases per year. Our allocation list is segmented into four groups based on specific criteria: Lifetime spend, tenor, and release purchase history. Each release is open for three weeks. We want to be able to offer the allocation gradually, starting with our top-tier customer segment and so on. 

Benefits:

  • Members are incentivized to continue purchasing in each release to gain more access to an array of products
  • Allows the winery to be proactive with inventory & communication
  • Allows winery to actively adjust packages of unpublished groups based on purchasing rate of customers.
