Introduction |
Lecavalier Cellars launched its California tasting room in 2024 with a clear vision: create a memorable brand, drive consistent tasting room traffic, grow wine club memberships, and generate direct-to-consumer wine sales across the state. Entering an already competitive wine market, the brand needed more than awareness—it needed a strategy that could convert first impressions into lasting relationships. Lecavalier Cellars partnered with Two Trees PPC to turn launch momentum into long-term growth. Historically, search engine marketing had underperformed, with non-branded search accounting for less than 20% of total conversions. Two Trees PPC was brought in to change that trajectory. |
Overview & Strategy
The challenge was to support a brand-new tasting room while building recognition, demand, and loyalty from the ground up. Success required a full-funnel approach that could introduce Lecavalier Cellars to new audiences, encourage in-person visits, and seamlessly guide customers toward repeat engagement through wine club memberships and delivery.
Two Trees PPC developed a multi-platform digital strategy centered on brand storytelling, strong creative, and clear conversion paths. The goal was to position Lecavalier Cellars as both aspirational and approachable—capturing attention online while driving meaningful action both on-site and in-store.
Execution |
We launched targeted Meta campaigns across Facebook and Instagram, using rich, visually driven storytelling to bring the tasting room experience to life. Creative showcased scenic vineyard moments, intimate tastings, and exclusive wine club perks, with campaigns segmented around three primary actions: tasting room bookings, wine club signups, and wine delivery orders. To ensure traffic converted efficiently, we partnered closely with the tasting room’s web team to optimize landing pages tied to each campaign objective. Messaging, layout, and calls to action were streamlined to reduce friction and guide users toward booking, joining, or purchasing. Audience strategy played a critical role in scaling performance. By leveraging CRM data, pixel activity, and on-site engagement signals, we built high-intent custom and lookalike audiences. Retargeting campaigns re-engaged visitors with timely reminders, seasonal messaging, and limited-time offers to keep Lecavalier Cellars top of mind throughout the decision-making process. To further expand reach and credibility, influencer partnerships with local and regional creators helped amplify the brand’s story. These collaborations generated authentic content, social proof, and incremental awareness among lifestyle-focused audiences aligned with the tasting room’s aesthetic and values. |
