Our anniversary, your complimentary guide

  • 6 min read

Toasting photo for complimentary guide postWe wanted to hit pause for a second to thank everyone for another great year. This spring marks our third year helping the craft beverage industry drive traffic, build engagement and capture new sales. Using proven strategies and tactics, we continue to expand our business across geographies and craft categories, now including non-alcoholic and functional beverages. What we knew to be true in our gut has played out in successful business case studies across all of our clients: high-performance storytelling moves the needle, especially during the pandemic. And as we near some sort of finish line, after which life returns to the new normal, those brands that worked tirelessly in the last year to build awareness and engagement will be rewarded with momentum and customer energy post-COVID. We’ll definitely toast to that!

In celebration of our third anniversary, we’d like to review the most talked-about marketing topics during the past year; share access to four webinars delivered at recent national conferences; and give you one of our downloadable Guides for completing a short survey.

Our goal is always to provide content of real, practical value to you and your team. Bi-weekly newsletters, workshops and other resources are designed with you in mind, so let us know how we can help support your craft beverage business. Read on for exclusive benefits available only to newsletter subscribers.

Sanitized table photo for complimentary guide postAs we said in our 2020 Review, the team at Market Your Craft made the conscious decision on March 17, 2020, to refocus our efforts to support the marketing needs of craft beverage brands during the pandemic. No one could have predicted its impact or duration, so what started as a brief series on how to maintain composure while messaging COVID-19 morphed into a singular, year-long focus on the topic. With over 25 articles written to provide just-in-time solutions to challenges faced by craft beverage producers, here are the top five most widely-read topics:


  1. COVID-19 messaging guidance for your craft beverage business
  2. Using video to market your craft beverage during crisis
  3. What you and your team can do to support frontline workers
  4. 5 ideas to continue engaging customers
  5. Consumers are still hesitant to visit your tasting room

We provide these articles and resources as a service to the craft beverage industry. Know of someone who would benefit from our newsletter? We would love an introduction!

Conference organizers were again forced to pivot this season, with speakers from around the world conducting virtual presentations and workshops from their home offices to thousands of attendees. However awkward and impersonal, video and streaming tech has become quite polished and sophisticated, and our use of it nearly second-nature. And while we were hoping for more in-person opportunities by this point, we were thrilled to be invited to present at two nationwide conferences recently. Please enjoy the links to all webinars and downloadable resources below:
