Post-Service Follow-Up & Reviews for Microbreweries

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We plan the campaign together around a genuine reason to reconnect — a post-visit thank-you and review request — so it feels useful, not pushy. You approve every script and offer before anything is sent, and our team sends the calls, texts, and emails in your brewery's name. Review requests go to real customers from your own list, and replies route back into your booking process.","question":"How does a microbrewery collect reviews from taproom visitors without sounding pushy?"},{"answer":"Almost none. It's fully done-for-you with no software to buy or learn. We work from your existing CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale list exactly as it is, and our team runs the outreach on your behalf. You approve the plan and messages up front, then we handle the rest — real humans, real judgment, with automation handling the scale.","question":"We already juggle brewery inventory management and taproom scheduling — how much work is this for our team?"},{"answer":"Yes. Renewal & Membership Retention campaigns are one of our core campaign types — we segment your list by expiring memberships and reach out before the lapse, in your brewery's name, with messaging you've approved. We also run birthday and anniversary campaigns for members, so outreach stays warm year-round.","question":"Can we follow up with mug club members before their renewals lapse?"},{"answer":"Replies typically start arriving as soon as the first wave goes out, and win-back style campaigns generally run two to four weeks end-to-end. Review responses are delivered every week, and missed-call text-back is instant. After the campaign, we keep you top of mind with seasonal reminders timed to your cycle so customers never go dormant again.","question":"How fast will we see reviews and repeat visits after launching a follow-up campaign?"},{"answer":"No software to buy, no per-seat pricing, and no surprise line items. You pay a flat one-time campaign setup fee quoted at your free list review, plus outreach minutes that step down from 9¢ to 21¢ as volume grows — texts and emails are covered in the quote, not billed separately. Most importantly, you approve every script, offer, and message before anything is sent, and real humans make the calls on your behalf.","question":"How is this different from hiring a marketing agency or buying review software for our brewery?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your customer list — POS, CRM, or spreadsheet, exactly as it is.

The Brewers Association reported 529 closures versus 430 openings in 2024 — the first net loss since 2005. When regulars go dormant after a seasonal release or anniversary batch, they're not just skipping a pint; they're redirecting their share-of-throat to the brewpub down the street or the regional craft brand expanding distribution into your off-trade accounts. A customer list that sits untouched for 12+ months isn't just inactive — it's a liability in a market where COGS run 29-42% and labor hits 25-30% of operating expenses."},{"icon":"TrendingUp","stat":"529 closures vs 430 openings in 2024","color":"from-orange-500 to-yellow-500","title":"Membership & Mug Club Churn Erodes Predictable DtC Revenue","description":"Taproom breweries and brewpubs relying on mug club renewals, barrel society memberships, and subscription box programs face silent churn when renewal reminders go unsent. With employment in craft brewing rising 3% to 197,112 jobs driven by taproom expansion, the competition for local regulars is intensifying. A 1,500-barrel microbrewery with 300 mug club members losing just 15% annually forfeits $18,000-27,000 in predictable DtC revenue — before accounting for the lost taproom visits, merchandise upsells, and referral potential those members bring.
