There are some exciting sporting fixtures to look forward to in November, with all the home nations playing in Euro 2024 Qualifiers and England taking on Malta on 17th November and North Macedonia on the 20th. Make sure you advertise your screenings in advance and stock up on beers and bar snacks! Bonfire Night is a key date for all venues with outside areas and our hot tips on planning will help your event
sparkle even more this year. Spirit sales soar during November and December – check out our category advice and get in the ‘Christmas Spirit’ by choosing the best selection. Stock a good range of vodka, brandy, whisky, liqueurs and the everpopular gin. Many customers look to trade up their festive tipples so ensure you have core and upsell products as well as regional and specialist choices. Also take advantage of the huge growth in the No & Low category this festive season. We have flagged up the importance of improving visibility and range to attract new customers and boost margins. According to
BBPA, sales of low & noalcohol beer have more than doubled since 2019.**** Early planning and promotion of your festive offer is crucial to your success throughout the festive period. Stock up, promote early and create a fantastic atmosphere for your customers to ensure your venue is the ‘go to’ place this Christmas. We’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all our valued customers for your trade throughout 2023 and wish you continued success during 2024.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
