Can you share one of your favorite marketing or sales stories?

The streets of Atlanta! Our marketing journey began with a bold move – armed with boxes of business cards and a determination to make a splash. We took to the downtown streets, channeling our inner 80s vibe, passing out cards to anyone who would take one. But that was just the beginning.

We got creative, plastering stickers on bathroom stalls (yes, you read that right!), lampposts, and even sneaking them onto the occasional street sign. Our mantra? “If it’s stuck, it’s good luck!” And luck was on our side, because people started to notice.

One fateful evening, we received a call from a curious event planner who’d spotted our sticker in a, ahem, “unlikely” location. She was looking for a unique mobile bar experience for a high-profile client, and our card had made its way into her hands. Talk about serendipity!

Fast-forward to the event: a luxurious rooftop party overlooking the Atlanta skyline. Our mobile bar was set up, and our mixologists were shaking things up. The client was thrilled, and we sealed the deal with a custom-crafted cocktail that left everyone buzzing.

Looking back, that guerrilla marketing campaign was a risk worth taking. It taught us that sometimes, you need to think outside the box (or bathroom stall!) to make a lasting impression. And when the odds are stacked against you, a little creativity and determination can go a long way.

That’s our story – a testament to the power of innovative marketing and a willingness to take bold risks. Cheers to making a splash in the most unexpected ways!

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

1. Word-of-mouth magic: Delivering exceptional experiences that inspire our clients to rave about us to their friends and family. There’s no better marketing than a happy client!

2. Social media sorcery: Showcasing our craft, sharing behind-the-scenes peeks, and engaging with our audience on Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms. Visual storytelling has been key to captivating potential clients and making them want to be part of the party!

3. Collaborations and partnerships: Teaming up with event planners, venues, and complementary businesses to expand our reach and offer comprehensive services. These alliances have helped us tap into new networks and build a strong reputation in the industry.

4. Referral incentives: Implementing a referral program that rewards our clients for bringing in new business. This has encouraged our loyal clients to become brand ambassadors, spreading the love and growing our clientele!

5. Optimizing our online presence: Ensuring our website, listings, and review sites accurately reflect our services and showcase our expertise. This has helped us attract organic leads and convert them into clients.

6. Networking and events: Attending industry events, conferences, and trade shows to connect with potential clients, showcase our skills, and stay ahead of industry trends.

7. Client loyalty program: Nurturing our existing clients with exclusive offers, priority booking, and personalized services. This has fostered long-term relationships and encouraged repeat business.

By combining these strategies, we’ve been able to grow our clientele steadily and build a loyal following of clients who appreciate our passion for mixology and exceptional service.
