Preguntas frecuentes
How far in advance should I announce a new beer release?
Send a teaser email 2-3 weeks before to build anticipation. Include photos of the label, tasting notes, and what makes this beer special. Send a second email one week before with more details and a release date. On release day or the day before, send a final "it is here" email driving people to the taproom or online shop.
What is the best way to promote limited-edition or seasonal beers?
Create urgency by clearly stating how limited the release is and for how long it will be available. Include compelling descriptions of flavor profile and what food pairs well. Use phrases like "Only available while supplies last" or "Returns every October." This drives timely purchases before items sell out.
Should I send different emails to on-premise and off-premise customers?
Yes, absolutely. Taproom customers want to know about events, specials, and new taps. Packaged beer customers want to know about products available in stores or online. Keep lists separate or use segmentation so each group receives relevant information. On-premise: taproom events and limited draft releases. Off-premise: store availability and packaged product info.
How do I use email to promote brewery tours?
Send tour announcements with details about schedule, duration, pricing, and what the tour includes. Create a sense of exclusivity by limiting group size. Offer email subscribers early access to book tours before they open to the general public. Send reminder emails the day before confirmed tours.
What content works best besides new beer announcements?
Share brewing tips, ingredient stories, beer history and education, behind-the-scenes footage of brewing, staff profiles, collaborations with other breweries, and upcoming events. Include photos from taproom events showing your community. Stories about why you started the brewery or brewing philosophy build emotional connection.
How should I handle collaboration beers with other breweries?
Announce collaborations early to build excitement. Share the story of why you partnered with that brewery. Highlight both breweries and where customers can find the collaboration brew. Send emails to both your list and the partner brewery is list (with permission) to maximize awareness. Create special branding or labels for collaborations to make them memorable.
