SUSTAINABILITY AS A DISTILLERY AND BREWERY SUPPLIER
Sustainability is fast becoming one of those buzzwords that brands want to claim to earn instant credibility with customers. At Boelter, we know you want honesty and transparency when it comes to the things you value, including sustainably decorated beer glassware, custom promotional products, and more. As an added bonus, you can extend this piece of mind to your customers who are looking for eco-friendly custom merch.
Consumers value sustainability in a brewery supplier more than ever
There was a period when craft brewers and distillers entered the marketplace proudly boasting of their sustainable practices. They were reclaiming water, recycling heat, repurposing spent grain, and so on. Consumers appreciated this, but they were frankly more excited by the fact that you were local.
That is changing! Drinkers now have plenty of local choices for beer as well as spirits, so other factors become real differentiators. In consumer studies, sustainability has gone from a nice perk to a key purchase consideration.
The big takeaway from studies on sustainability is that consumers increasingly want brands to practice it — and are willing to pay more for branded merchandise and customized glasses that are sustainably produced.
