- Buyer research
- Social media for an alcohol brand
- Getting share of mind with distributors
- Online alcohol sales
Takeaways
- There is more focus on merchandising at the local level in beer distribution (vs. wine/liquor)
- Don’t try to be something you are not; know your demographic and career to them.
- Getting your distribution sales pitch is a powerful sales lever
- Alcohol distribution is 100% relationship-driven
- If you don’t have relationships, make sure you have data and a differentiated story
- Start small and focus on building trust.
