Overview
Oliver’s Wines is a boutique Australian wine producer and distributor known for its premium range and direct-to-consumer sales model. As the brand expanded into corporate gifting and online sales, managing marketing campaigns, sales leads, and customer relationships became increasingly complex.
DigitalScouts was brought on board to streamline their systems through HubSpot — enabling the team to automate marketing, manage customer data efficiently, and track every sale and campaign in one unified platform.
The Challenge
Before partnering with DigitalScouts, Oliver’s Wines used separate tools for email campaigns, website leads, and order management. The result was disconnected data and limited visibility into marketing performance.
Key challenges included:
-
Manual lead management across spreadsheets and email lists.
-
No clear reporting on which campaigns were driving sales.
-
Inefficient follow-ups, leading to lost opportunities with retail and event clients.
-
No integration between online enquiries, marketing emails, and the CRM.
Jeremy and his team needed a reliable, cost-effective system that would simplify operations and help them focus on growth instead of admin.
The Solution
DigitalScouts implemented a tailored HubSpot CRM and Marketing Hub setup designed for small and mid-sized producers in the food and beverage industry.
The project included:
-
CRM onboarding and data migration from legacy spreadsheets and email lists.
-
Marketing automation workflows to nurture retail, wholesale, and corporate clients.
-
Custom dashboards to track leads, conversions, and campaign ROI.
-
Email templates and sequences for customer engagement and seasonal promotions.
-
Sales pipeline configuration to manage distributors, event bookings, and direct customers.
The setup was completed within six weeks, ensuring the team had full visibility and a smoother, automated workflow before their upcoming product launch.
The Results
The new HubSpot setup quickly delivered tangible improvements in efficiency and communication.
