Two weeks ago we attended the Craft Brewers Conference in Las Vegas, one of the longest running and biggest craft beer events of the year. I heard repeatedly from other vendors that the show was “slow” for them and that “traffic was down” this year. The craft beer market isn’t what anyone would consider a hot market anymore. The days of easily posting 20%-30%, and in our case, even 500% growth years by just showing up and collecting orders are behind us. But we had our most successful CBC ever. Why? Because we work to provide value at these events…not just ask for money. Here’s how we did that this year: 📍Location, location, location—we were fortunate enough to land a prime spot just inside the main entrance to the expo hall. If attendance is down, you better make sure you get the traffic. Spending 60% of the money for 10% of the results is a bad strategy. ⚙️We created an interactive experience in our booth to allow folks to play with our machines, see how cans are made, and actually use our products. Wouldn’t you be more comfortable spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars if you’d actually tried the thing you’re buying? 🎓We seek to teach and inform, not just try to “sell”. I love asking questions about what is keeping our customers up at night…and then providing any insights or experiences we have that might alleviate that pain. 👷♂️To that end, we didn’t just send 11 sales people to the show. We also sent engineers, tech support, canning line operators, and executives—the ones that have actually done the work and solved the myriad of problems our customers face. We have people stop by our booth every year just to chat and access the canning brain trust. That’s unreal value…for FREE. ❤️🔥We’re not romantic. We love beer. But consumers tastes are shifting and beer isn’t paying the bills like it used to. We’ve worked hard to ensure we have solutions for our customers as they adapt to this new age of beverage. What are the best trade show experiences you’ve seen??

Staying in to watch the football at home? The Brits don’t really need a reason to visit the On Trade, but the Euro’s will provide a strong pull for even the lightest of drinkers to get together and experience that great pub atmosphere.  However, for those that are looking to support from home, multipacks of cider are proving to be great value for those special occasions. Consumers are finding two of Westons multipacks especially appealing… the Stowford Press 10 x 440ml can pack has grown 34.4% in the past year, against a category that’s growing 4.4%. In a similar position, in crafted cider, is the Henry Westons 500ml x 6 pack, which is growing at an impressive 41.6% year on year, and is now a top 25 cider sku. Read more about the category and the trends for the year ahead in the latest Westons Cider report today: https://lnkd.in/eE3G_zX7 Source: Circana Infoscan 52 w/e 20th April 2024

🗽We hope everyone enjoys a safe and festive holiday with family and friends as we celebrate this great nation. Of course, it wouldn't be the 4th without fireworks, BBQ, and some fun and patriotic supply chain facts. 🎆 Here’s how supply chains keep the party going across the US: 🎇 Fireworks Distribution: The American Pyrotechnics Association estimates there are 14,000 firework displays totaling over 260 million pounds of commercial fireworks and sales of over $750 million annually by the public. From imports to safe delivery, the timely transportation of this explosive hazmat is a supply chain feat. 🌭 Food and Beverage Supply Chain: BBQs and picnics wouldn’t be the same without the efforts of farmers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Cheers to the supply chain heroes who get those hot dogs, buns, chips, and drinks to our tables. 🎉 Parade Logistics: Parades and public events are a joy to experience, made possible by meticulous planning and transportation of floats, banners, and sound systems. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and logistically smooth 4th of July! #4thofJuly #Logistics #SupplyChain #IndependenceDay #Celebration
