What merch sells best at a brewery?
Start with a core four that feels good in hand: a tee, a trucker hat, a pint glass and coasters or stickers at the register, then repeat what sells and tie new drops to releases and anniversaries. A wooden free-pint token in the tour kit brings visitors back. See the Taproom Core Four and Tour Kit.
What promotional items should a new restaurant give away?
Pre-launch, hand out items that get carried home: a koozie, a bottle-opener keychain, a reusable straw set and a stadium cup. For the opening itself, kitchen-drawer items last for years: a pizza cutter, a magnetic menu and an absorbent coaster. The Pre-Launch Freebie and Kitchen-Drawer Kit group these.
What goes in a wine club welcome box?
A corkscrew, stainless wine cups, a bottle tote, a crystal stopper, a tasting journal and a VIP enamel pin, packed with a welcome letter. The box holds the tools, never the wine; ship bottles through your licensed channel. Lawn-tasting and etched-crystal collector tiers cover the tasting room and allocation members.
How do restaurants use branded merchandise for loyalty?
As a ladder: a stamp card earns a free drink, then swag as visits accumulate. Bar regulars move from pint to rocks glass to stemless to wine tools; kitchen regulars from tea towel to oven mitt to cutting board. Each rung costs more than the last, so the reward feels earned. See the Bar and Kitchen Loyalty Ladders.
Are silicone pint glasses good for breweries?
Yes for patios, beer gardens, pools and any venue where glass is banned: silicone pints are unbreakable, food-grade and dishwasher-safe, with a non-slip base. Keep real glass for the taproom bar. The Beer-Garden / Dog-Friendly kit pairs the silicone pint with an enamel-style mug, a pet bandana and a collapsible bowl.
