Critical Moment of Decision
76% of purchase decisions for spirits are made in-store, and 43% of shoppers are open to trying a new brand when influenced by in-store activations, particularly at premium price points.
Driving Gifting Behavior
29% of premium spirit purchases are made as gifts, particularly around key holidays. In-store activations like custom packaging, personalized gift options, or displays that highlight gifting occasions can increase premium spirit sales by up to 40% during the holiday season.
Impact of Bartender Recos
65% of consumers trust bartender recommendations when choosing a premium spirit. Point-of-purchase activations like bartender-led tastings and brand ambassador programs can tap into this trust, increasing sales by an average of 20-30% for recommended products.
Maximizing Marketing ROI

This ROI is especially pronounced when combined with bartender endorsements or unique gifting propositions.
Impulse Purchases & Gifting
