Marketing Rules for Every Beverage Product You Sell

We know that you know beer! But what if you’re adding additional product categories? This presentation aims to give you a solid understanding of the rules and regulations around the advertising and marketing of all your brands, alcoholic beer as well as non-alc, spirits and hemp-derived beverage products.

Key Objectives:

• Know what is considered an advertisement and the “Golden Rule” to avoid most TTB/FTC concerns.
• Advertising alcoholic beverage brands and what rules/regulations you are required to follow, including social media and print
• Understand how the rules/regulations may or may not change if you are advertising a spirit, non-alc or hemp derived product?
• Understand where some companies selling only non-alc beer and/or hemp-derived products have more flexibility than you do as a producer of alcoholic beverages.
• How to get the influencers that you work with to understand all of this, or at least what they need to know to keep you from getting into trouble
