CANNABITION Las Vegas的动态

Here's a roundup of this week's news on food and drink in the Twin Cities:

Did you know the Catalina Wine Mixer wasn’t a real event until the movie Step Brothers made it one... 6 years later? The *iconic* gala takes place during the last scene of the movie when the brothers head to the "greatest wine tasting event" on Catalina Island. The fictional event appeared so real, people would google the event to see if it was actually a thing. It got so much traction that 6 YEARS after the movie came out, Catalina Island *actually* decided to create the mixer IRL. To say it was a success is an understatement. It’s 2024, and the mixer STILL sells out every year. As a brand marketer, one thing is clear: Branded entertainment is a powerful medium to create movements. Instead of trying to insert yourself into the story, you have the power to write it yourself.

What does ?? and 1988 have in come? Pi Day was first founded in 1988. However, it didn't become officially recognized as a holiday until 2009. ?? One thing I love most about this day (besides the fact that it's to celebrate a PIece of math), is how brands get involved! No, it's not just for the free pie, but I won't pass that up either. One of my favorite local breweries ALWAYS has a special four pack available for purchase around Pi Day that highlights 4 pie flavor brews. I fall for this almost every year for these reasons: ?? I'm a loyal fan. ?? It's a special/exclusive item that is not sold year round. ?? I appreciate how the brand stays true to who they are (brewers) but still take part in this holiday in a fun way and have been consistent with it. ?? Let's hear about your favorite brands and how they put a special spin on events/holidays. ?? #PiDay #Marketing #Branding

It’s officially football season! We love celebrating our favorite teams and whether you are a manager, employee or customer at a venue we have tips, tricks, and resources for everyone to make sure your next watch party or tailgate goes smoothly. Follow these easy tips for a safe night out. Water stations: It’s unlikely that someone will stand in line to order a water. You can encourage customers to drink responsibly by having water stations throughout your venue. Offer food: Another great strategy to prevent overconsumption is offering people food. Whether that means pointing them to your food menu, bringing breadsticks by, or investing in a popcorn machine. Drink specials: Create signature drinks or drink specials with lower alcohol content and promote them. This can be a great way to move products and encourage responsible drinking by slowing people down. Huddle up: Have conversations about uncomfortable and unsafe behavior and all the options to interrupt and help out often. We’ve created an easy step-by-step guide to help at https://lnkd.in/ga6_nZJJ While we can’t promise your team is going to win, we know that the best way to keep people coming back is to give them a fun, safe night out.

If I had a pound for every time a restaurant owner said, 'We don't need marketing,' I'd be sipping wine in my own vineyard by now. But let's be honest—just like a sprinkle of salt elevates a dish, a dash of marketing magic brings diners through your door. Exposure matters just as much as what's on the plate! As someone who gets the hustle of independent restaurants and way over a *cough* decade in the hospitality industry here are three tips to boost your revenue without selling your soul: 1. Share Your Real Story (No Fairy Tales Needed) You're not just another spot on the high street. You've got tales of late-night recipe triumphs, the secret ingredient grandma swore you to secrecy over, and that one time the oven had a mind of its own. Spill the beans—customers crave authenticity. 2. Be the Local Legend Forget trying to out-chain the big chains. Embrace your role in the community. Host a pop-up with the local brewery, team up with nearby artisans, sponsor the underdog football team. When you're woven into the local fabric, people choose you over faceless franchises every time. 3. Consistency Is Your Secret Sauce Posting on social media whenever you remember isn't cutting it. Keep your online presence fresh. Regular updates, drool-worthy photos, behind-the-scenes snaps—keep them coming. Consistency builds trust, and trust fills tables. #HospitalityHeroes #RealTalkMarketing #IndependentRestaurants #CardiffEats #TRC

This week is #AlcoholAwarenessWeek and a good reminder for everyone to take extra care when driving. Particularly over the summer whilst enjoying BBQs, Weddings or the many sporting events that are taking place over the coming weeks. Doctors are calling for the drink-drive limit to be reduced to the equivalent of just one small glass of wine or beer. Take a read of our blog for more information on drink driving limits and potential penalties. #DrinkDriving #AlcoholAware #DrivingOffences https://bit.ly/3VMa2H6

Discussion: Does Location Influence Your Booze Choices? Hey drink lovers, here’s a question that’s been bubbling in my mind: How much does the origin of a beer or spirit sway your decision to try it? Does the phrase "Made In ..." tickle your interest or influence when you decide to give a new brew a shot? From my perspective, if you’re a tourist or looking for that perfect gift, the appeal of a locally-made brew is undeniable. It’s like bringing a little piece of your journey back home to share with friends and family—“Look, I brought you the beer of this fabulous place; aren't I awesome!” For locals, the connection might be different. Knowing a beer is brewed right in your backyard can be a point of pride and a show of support for local businesses. It becomes more than just enjoying a drink; it’s about community and supporting the local economy. But beyond tourism and local pride, what drives your choices? When you’re eyeing new drinks to try, does the location factor into your decision? Or is it about the style, the brand reputation, or maybe some killer label art? Drop your thoughts below! Are you a local loyalist or does the allure of international brews get your taps turning? #BeerLovers #CraftBeer #LocalBrew #InternationalBrews #BeerCommunity
