Why Gift Customers - Breweries

Why Gift Customers - Breweries

If you own an independent craft brewery, you should give serious thought to how you reward your most loyal customers. We’re not just talking about great prices – although that helps too - we mean custom logo-branded brewery swag! In case you haven’t noticed, the number of operating craft breweries in the US has exploded over the last two decades. The US Brewers’ Association calculated last year that as of the end of 2020 there were over 8,700 craft breweries operating across the country!

That said, the pandemic has definitely hit this industry’s bottom line; COVID-19 emptied bars and taprooms for the last two years, and newer makers have struggled to stay in business while people re-emerge from social isolation. Now that things are opening back up, craft beer makers are facing stiff competition for clientele. All the more reason to show appreciation for customers who stuck with you through the pandemic through web orders, club subscriptions and the like, and the best way to do that is with custom gear showcasing the brand’s coolest logos and designs. This is a good idea for several reasons; first and most obviously people like receiving gifts. Customers will come back to the shop where they got a cool t-shirt or custom brewery drinkware, whether it’s because they associate their custom brewery t-shirts with the friendly and awesome people that work there, or just because they want more cool swag. And of course, custom logo-branded swag makes a great reward for repeat customers and brewery club subscribers.

Brewery Corporate Gift Ideas & Apparel

Logo-branded brewery swag as a reward for your most loyal customers is a subtle but impactful method of rewarding your fans. By giving a stylish t-shirt or custom brewery drinkware to your regular customers, you motivate people to come back again and again. You can even set up something as simple as a punch card system or “Beer of the Month” club, with customers receiving smaller gifts at first like stickers or notebooks, before they eventually move up to pricier gifts like jackets, hoodies and other branded microbrewery apparel.

Lastly, custom swag is a great form of advertising with an unbeatable ROI. People love repping their favorite craft brewery almost as much as they like free swag, so equipping your biggest fans with custom brewery logo gear means that they’ll be advertising your brand with every wear of that t-shirt and every sip from that custom brewery drinkware.
