Challenges
• Staff are not aware of the events and the brand
prior to our teams arriving for the event which
does not allow our team to leverage servers and
bartenders to increase sales
Successes

as consumers are getting out to embrace the
summer weather
• Consumer attendance and number of samples
have passed the goal
• 2 Gingers is the only Irish Whiskey at Rick’s
