Finding interesting and unique ways to bring customers into your taproom and keep them coming back can be challenging. There are some successful ways for doing this like beer glass giveaways, mug clubs, brewery tours, or special beer flight offerings. In an effort to keep promotional efforts new and enticing, along with the ability to strengthen your brand and following, there are some great ways you can kick marketing efforts up to a new level. Various ways of hosting VIP mug clubs or memberships can provide an opportunity to build a strong community around your brewery and brand. These clubs can also become great ways to get valuable feedback on new releases before going to market. Being able to tell your brand story, along with stories behind your beers, in captivating and welcoming ways can help customers feel more connected to your beer. Having specialized tours or tasting events can bring people in and sometimes become brand ambassadors for your brewery.
