It was the packaging!</div><div style="text-align:left;"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left;">MoMAC had 5 tiers to their program and it was giving guests analysis paralysis. So they got back to basics. Two simple tiers that were easy to understand and for staff to upsell.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align:left;"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left;">The result? MoMAC sent out one push notification and immediately grabbed five new members. Over the next three months, their program sales shot up by 800%.</div><div style="text-align:left;"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left;">Cheers to you MoMAC, and if your brewery's program could use a fresh set of owl eyes on it, give us a hoot!</div></div><div style="text-align:left;"></div></div><div style="text-align:left;"><br/></div></div>
