Suggested Images
For the images, we should aim to capture the essence of the pub:
- Interior Shots: Cozy, welcoming photos of the pub’s interior, showcasing the bar area with taps in the background and wooden accents.
- Beer Close-ups: High-quality images of beer glasses, preferably with a frothy head, close enough to see the bubbles. Some shots could include people in the background clinking glasses.
- Live Events: Capture the vibrancy of live music or a crowded pub night, which can suggest a lively atmosphere.
- Exterior Shot: A welcoming facade shot of the pub during the evening with warm lighting and visible signage.
The above is a brief:
Your assignment is to design three promotional ideas for them.
Three ideas sketched out or mocked up, but one taken to completion.
You have a budget of $5000 for this opening marketing push.
Here are some suggestions.
With a budget of $5,000 for promoting the Just Beer Pub, you can deploy a mix of creative, targeted marketing strategies to build buzz and attract customers. Here’s how you can allocate your budget efficiently across various promotional activities:
1. Social Media Campaigns ($1,000)
- Platform Ads: Use Facebook and Instagram ads targeted by demographics and interests (local, beer lovers, nightlife enthusiasts). Spend around $700 on paid ads.
- Content Creation: Invest $300 in creating engaging content such as behind-the-scenes videos, customer testimonials, and highlighting unique brews or events.
2. Influencer Partnerships ($1,000)
- Local Influencers: Partner with local food and drink influencers. Offer them a night at the pub with free sampling in exchange for reviews and posts. Allocate around $1,000 to cover comped items and any fees.
3. Opening Event ($1,500)
- Launch Party: Host a grand opening event. Spend on live music ($500), light decorations ($200), and promotional giveaways like custom pint glasses or t-shirts ($800).
- Local Press Invites: Invite local bloggers and journalists for free to cover the event.
4. Loyalty Programs ($500)
- Rewards Program: Implement a loyalty card system where customers earn points for each visit or purchase, redeemable for discounts or free items. The initial setup and card production costs could be around $500.
5. Collaborations with Local Businesses ($500)
- Cross-Promotions: Collaborate with nearby businesses for cross-promotions. This could include flyer swaps, joint events, or special offers for customers visiting both locations.
6. Print and Local Ads ($1,000)
- Flyers and Posters: Design and print high-quality flyers and posters ($500) to distribute in high foot traffic areas and during local events.
- Local Newspaper Ads: Place ads in local community newspapers or magazines, especially those catering to your target demographic ($500).
Measurement and Adjustment
- Tracking: Ensure each campaign has tracking mechanisms in place (promo codes, digital ad metrics, etc.) to measure effectiveness.
- Flexibility: Be prepared to shift funds between channels based on what generates the most interest and engagement.
So what are your plans to help this fledgling beer pub get noticed?
