Marketing Moves for Breweries, Wineries
Do all your friends imagine your job in the alcohol industry just means getting drunk all day? We all know that’s far from the truth. Fermenting, distilling, and brewing are all an equal balance of art and chemistry and agriculture. And only minimal imbibing. But in addition to all that, you also have to increase distribution, manage the finances, and so much more. Getting customers in the door and developing relationships with them so they want to return week after week is a whole different can of worms. It can be time consuming to execute, even after you learn those new skills.
