Marketing a Bar or Pub
Marketing plays a central role in any company. But when it comes to a bar or pub, your ability to market your brand can be the deciding factor between barely making it and achieving stellar industry success.
If you are a business leader who sees marketing as a path to give your bar or pub a competitive advantage you're not alone.
The marketplace is constantly shifting to accommodate consumer demand and that means businesses need to adapt their marketing requirements accordingly. More than ever before, foundational marketing concepts have become the bedrock upon which successful marketing strategies are constructed.
Public Relations Strategies
If marketing is a stock car racing full throttle toward a consumer audience, PR is a vintage Cadillac teasing consumers and inviting them to take a closer look. If you want to send unrestricted marketing messages to your audience, buy a mailing list and perform a direct mail campaign. But if your strategy calls for sophistication, media buy-in and thought leadership, hire a PR consultant. The art of storytelling is a core PR competency. Storylines need to be believable and objective while communicating your brand's strengths and value proposition.
Marketing Expertise
Don't have a background in marketing? That shouldn't stop you from taking a larger promotional role in your company by educating yourself about today's most effective marketing concepts. Entrepreneurs and leaders of bar or pubs need to make every dollar count, especially when it comes to their marketing budgets. When in doubt, tap into either an internal or external knowledge base to design your company's marketing strategy.
Newsletters
Newsletters can pack a promotional punch. How? By subtly using information to promote the benefits of your products and services. Unlike flyers and other advertising mediums, newsletters have an informational focus. In fact, the best newsletters encourage customers to take the next step without ever asking for a sale. It's not unusual for bar or pubs to distribute newsletters through online channels (e.g. in email campaigns and as PDFs on the company website).
