This Week’s Playbook: Add more revenue per send in 60 days
If you’re sending “nice” emails and texts but your revenue per send hasn’t moved in months, this is for you. Most Paso wineries don’t need more followers or a bigger list. You need your existing list to pull more weight.
Our 60‑Day Winery Growth Sprint focuses on one simple metric: How much money do you make every time you hit send?
Over 60 days, we’re aiming for at least 10–20% more revenue per email and SMS send, with upside into 30–40% depending on your starting point.
Real example math:
- If your email/SMS is tied to ~$15,000/month in DTC today, a 20% lift is roughly +$3,000/month → +$36,000/year from the same traffic and list.

The play |

Fix the leaks that are costing you
Most wineries have a DTC funnel that “kinda works,” but it’s full of tiny leaks that quietly drain thousands:
- Emails that tell stories but don’t ask for an order or club join right away
- No SMS follow‑up when guests are most likely to buy again
- Google listings that don’t drive clicks, calls, or visits
- Homepages that look great but don’t steer people to “Visit / Join / Shop”
In 60 days, we run a DTC Leak Fix Sprint focused on three numbers:
- Revenue per email send
- Revenue per SMS send
- Revenue per website visit
The goal is simple:
- Plug the leaks so every send and every visit is worth more.
- Lift revenue per send by at least 10–20%, with realistic upside into 30–40% when starting from a leaky system.

Why it works |
|
Recent DTC reports show:
- Wineries are sending more email post‑COVID, but revenue per campaign is often flat because flows and landing pages are weak.
- Average wine email click‑through is often in the low single digits, while better‑built programs push higher and earn more per send.
- SMS is still underused; early adopters see 15–25% click‑through and strong order rates from concise, well‑timed texts.
- DTC now represents 60–70%+ of revenue for many wineries, with clubs often around 40% of DTC, yet most sites are not optimized for “Visit / Join / Shop.”
|
How we do it |
|
We get results by tightening three levers at once:
- Flows: welcome, post‑visit, post‑purchase and win‑back emails that consistently ask for the next step (order or club), instead of generic “newsletter” content.
- Offers & timing: campaigns scheduled around proven buying moments (post‑visit, new releases, seasonal demand) rather than random blasts.
- Landing experience: Google listing and homepage tuned so the clicks you pay for with attention are more likely to buy, book, or join.
When these three align, email and SMS benchmarks improve, and revenue per send climbs.
|
Bottom line |
|
The 60‑Day Winery Growth Sprint is a 2‑month engagement starting at $2,500/month.
You’re not buying “ideas.” You’re getting:
- A full revenue‑per‑send audit
- Strategy and copy
- Implementation (inside your email + SMS + website platforms)
- Optimization based on your numbers
Your team approves and gives brand guidance. We do the heavy lifting. You keep the upgraded systems and extra revenue they generate.
