Editorial Content

Beverage Master: Craft Spirits & Brew Magazine focuses on the rapidly growing craft beverage industry, including Breweries, Distilleries, Mead and Cider Producers. In addition, we understand that the agriculture segment that supports the craft producer is an important part of the process. We seek out the most recent and relevant information as it pertains to the orchard (fruit trees) and growers (rye, wheat, barley, corn, etc.) for total support of the craft beverage market.

Beverage Master: Craft Spirits & Brew Magazine has joined forces with industry leaders who have now become contributing writers. Their expertise provides you and your target audience with the most current and valuable information in the industry.

In addition, we understand that our readers are maintaining their orchards and fields and perfecting their craft beverage skills in vastly different regions across the nation. We consistently seek out and attract contributing writers, educators, and professionals to write articles specific to their area of the country. This allows us to maintain a well balanced publication that is educational and informative to all producers and growers, regardless of location.

Advertorial Placements

Stand Out & Showcase YOUR Company!

Introduce Your Company to Our Readers! • Promote Special Products!

Advertorials are used as a valuable marketing technique for visibility and conversion. Yes, an advertorial is an advertisement. But advertorials can be an excellent marketing choice for you and your company.

A one to two page advertorial should provide the same high-quality content as an editorial, but it gives you the spotlight to shine on your product!

Benefits of Advertorial Marketing Advertorials Build Brand Awareness: An advertorial, unlike other advertising, is paid for less often, but has the potential to be found by readers long after the publish date.

Retarget Your Existing Customers: You can repost your advertorial on social media and/or through e-blasts.

Better yet, encourage your customers to share the advertorial on their social media, tag your company and gain new customers!

Advertorials Qualify for Frequency Print & Digital Ad Discounts!

Contact us Today space is limited and on a first-come-first-serve-basis. Call: 877-892-5332

Interactive Buyer & Seller Network (IBSN®) The Grapevine Magazine is the first in the Industry to introduce the Interactive Buyer and Seller Network (IBSN®). Unlike other publications that offer regular “buyer’s guides” that contain very basic information regarding your company and what you have to offer.

The Grapevine Magazine’s IBSN® takes that basic concept but then expands it to a fully informative and interactive resource for the user.

How the IBSN® Works • List your company’s address and contact information, including telephone numbers, E-Mail & Website.

• User can connect directly to your Website and Email from the same screen.

• A “Search” feature will enable the user to search by a company name or category. Instead of receiving a large printed edition each year, the IBSN® is a “GREEN” product because customers only print what they need!

• The IBSN® is accessible through The Grapevine Magazine’s Website’s Homepage at... http://www.BrickerPublishing.com

The IBSN® qualifies for both Print & On-Line ad frequency discounts.
