Background


Bighorn Cellars
, a Napa Valley winery, sells wine through multiple distribution channels, including the Forbes Signature Wine Club. They needed to lower costs and increase efficiency of their customized on-line sales application and devise a way to market their wine through their multiple marketing partner relationships.

Solution
We replaced the high-cost customized solution by partnering with Nexternal to launch a new on-line wine store. This allowed Bighorn to support and enhance their marketing relationships with large companies such as Forbes and CB Richard Ellis, embark on new marketing campaigns to attract new customers and maintain their own on-line store.

Results
  • Significant cost reductions
    We reduced the ongoing monthly expenses to maintain the on-line store by over 80%.

  • Improved brand
    By providing a more robust store front (coupons, preferred customer, etc) and an updated design that matches their exisitng product branding.

  • Improved productivity
    By training Bighorn Cellars' marketing and operations staff, they can add products, promote specials to specific customer types, use digital coupons and integrate this application with the other applications in their Ecosystem.
