Those who manage or run businesses have to deal with many decisions every day. Paperwork, phone calls, training, and errands are only a small sample of demands that come up daily. As such, deciding on bigger things can take time and energy that is not always available.
If you are one such owner or administrator, you may wonder about how various product options will define your company, lead to revenue, and add to needed revenue. This article will look at one such concern, whether to choose pint glass or custom beer steins for your establishment.
Pint Glasses
There are many types of pint glasses, but the most well-known is the American pint glass. This is the standard glass you will be served at a pub or restaurant. The pint glass, or Shaker glass, holds 16 oz. of liquid and is often used for serving ales, stouts, lagers, and other types of beer.
There are many positives related to using a pint glass in your restaurant, bar, or other establishment. Pint glasses are cheap to manufacture and buy and tend to be easy to drink out of. For the staff, pint glasses are easy to clean and can be stacked for easy access and use. In addition, these glasses can be used to mix cocktails in a time efficient manner.
There are also some negative attributes when it comes to choosing to use pint glasses. The largest problem is that these glasses are far less durable than steins. While the glass used is relatively strong, it is still glass, and dropping a drink can result in the complete destruction of the glass. In addition, pint glasses are very dull, with no real creativity imbued into their creation. They usually do not offer a handle, which helps to insulate a cold brew from warm hands.
Custom Beer Steins
Beer steins are a less-used option for restaurants and bars. They offer the same shape as a beer mug, but with added facets that contribute to creativity and aesthetic. Steins are made out of various materials, including porcelain, stoneware, silver, wood and pewter.
Some of the many positives about custom beer steins are that they are usually gorgeous and often handmade. Many people collect them as souvenir glassware or display them as ornamental décor. These mugs are sturdy and substantial, with a handle that makes moving about easy. Beer steins are also easy to drink out of and hold more liquid than a pint glass.
Reasons to Choose Steins
One of the biggest reasons to choose a custom beer stein is right there in the name; they are fully customizable. You can choose various materials for the vessels, have them designed to promote your business and choose many colors and artistic effects that are simply not available with pint glasses.
Think about it. If you have the option of enjoying a beer in a simple glass pint glass or a beer in a large, traditional beer stein, which would you choose? The mere act of using a beer stein makes a statement, which is something people love.
You have an opportunity to boost business in a unique way by using steins. Mug Clubs are a fun way for bars and pubs to get people in their establishment and does double duty by making them want to come back again. Showcase your mugs on social media, have staff discuss the benefits of joining, and offer a mug display somewhere people congregate.
When choosing to use a mug club, you will want to provide rewards to those who join. You could provide discounts on certain drinks or days of the week to those who are members. In addition, the best advertising can come from offering customers their own custom mug. Plant your logo on it, and whenever the person uses it, others will admire and ask questions about it.
In addition to bars and pubs, coffee establishments can also take advantage of these ideas, as well. By signing up for your club, your business can send out emails about specials and news which will encourage patrons to stop in again for a latte or cappuccino. This allows continuous contact which translates to more sales and continued customers.
Personalize Your Restaurant or Bar
As mentioned above, steins come in many versions, from classic and cool to innovative and modern. Have a logo hand designed to use on the face of the stein and incorporate some creativity in your design. You could choose to use specific colors that represent your establishment, such as a multi-colored glaze or a design that matches your brand, like a sturdy Hofbrau stein.
Use your imagination and make your custom beer steins an integral part of your business. It will lead to a more beautiful and creative atmosphere, and impress customers at the same time.
