Lift your spirits this Christmas & New Year!
The economy has presented some tough challenges in 2022, however premium spirits is a category which could really boost your profits during November and December. Take advantage of the continuing trend towards premiumisation by encouraging your customers to trade up during the festive period.
Stock up for the surge in spirits as there is always a massive uplift in shots and cocktails consumed as groups celebrate around the festive period.
Planned get-togethers and work Christmas parties give you the opportunity to guarantee spend due to changed attitudes to prebooking since the pandemic. Getting the offering right will therefore be crucial to securing footfall and spend.
Premiumisation continues to grow, such as the preference for premium flavoured gin rather than house gin, as people look to be more adventurous this Christmas.
Educate your staff in different categories such as vodka, tequila, rum and whiskey. Understand what makes each spirit different when used in cocktails.
Upsell by adding an innovative twist on a cocktail classic. Give customers serves and experiences they can’t replicate at home. Festive twists on favourites and masterclasses can help drive incremental spend at Christmas.
