Introducing Business of Drinks - Trailer
Welcome, thirsty listener. Join us as we investigate what it takes to start and run a real drinks business. There are a lot of podcasts out there about the drinks industry, but very few of them talk about how to make money. At Business of Drinks, we’re all about the numbers and winning strategies. We’re obsessed with the question of who succeeds ― and who doesn’t. This season, we’re going to follow a canned cocktail line called Hamlet Hound, from launch to growth. Along the way, we’ll interview key experts and ask them how a startup can go from idea to national distribution. But back to the money. We’ve found that people (and brands) don't like to talk about how they become profitable, so we’re pulling the band-aid off and delving into actual dollars and cents. You’ll get the real scoop on what works, and what doesn’t. We’ll also be looking at funding models, from venture capital and drinks incubators to bootstrapping your way to success. Want to know how to build a successful alcohol brand? Tune in as we investigate! Episode 1 airs March 22, wherever you get your podcasts.
