Step number one in digital marketing is creating a website. You’ve invested all this time and money into a business. Now, it needs to have representation on the most popular medium ever, the internet. Your website is where you get to personify your craft distillery and showcase the amazing vision, products, and spirit that your distillery embodies. Step number two in digital marketing for your craft distillery is releasing a press release. Write a simple 500-1,000 word release talking about your distillery’s journey to open, what your vision is, and give people a compelling reason to stop by. Whether you have budgeted for a big grand opening or not, find ways to make it a newsworthy event. You can send that press release to your local news publications, big distribution sites like PR Newswire, and industry-specific sites like Spirited.

Remember that the boom in the craft industry is the higher value people are placing on products that aren’t mass produced. Shopping local isn’t just a tagline that American Express coined; it’s a serious movement that is gaining momentum and changing the way consumers buy. Find ways to tap into your local community through fairs and farmers’ markets. Look for ways to reach out to local reports who are willing to cover the opening of your new distillery.
