A Guide to Building a Successful Beer Club
While there is a mountain of benefits when launching a beer club program, there are some crucial decisions that breweries need to make. This guide combines the knowledge gathered from helping hundreds of craft producers launch and manage clubs for over a decade.
While the wine club phenomenon has been wildly popular since the 1970s, breweries are only now starting to join the movement. And it’s a good thing. There are many benefits to subscription clubs for both breweries and their customers.
Craft brewers need to find a way to differentiate themselves and elevate their brands, run operations more efficiently, and serve more customers. Many breweries are turning to technology to help streamline their processes. When owners have a good understanding of their key metrics, they can make better decisions and are more likely to succeed.
We talked to two breweries with solid communities, Fort George and pFriem, to see how they nurtured their customers and fostered a strong community. Both have embraced clubs as a way to give back to their loyal customers and create something extra special. Learn more about their journey.
To allow things to grow, and ultimately reach their goal of producing batches solely for their Barrel Club, Vista Brewing needed a software partner that could scale alongside the business, help them stay organized, and secure consistent revenue from clubs.
Allocations are an easy way to offer products to specific members in limited quantities and within a designated timeframe. Wineries have implemented allocations for years to tailor offerings based on purchase history or preference. It’s time for breweries to get onboard.
Wine clubs have been around for decades and have become a core sales channel—not to mention a great way to build customer relationships and encourage loyalty. Their structure has been borrowed and adapted by breweries, distilleries, cideries, coffee roasters, and more. See how you can build a reliable revenue resource with clubs.
The world has changed and online shopping and subscription services are on the rise. Find out how you can launch an online store and build sustainable revenue with clubs… even during COVID-19.
