The challenge
Solbevi makes a limoncello spritz in a can, a drink most venue owners had never seen ready to pour. To get onto New Zealand menus it needed to reach the people who choose what a bar, restaurant or lodge serves, across a long, spread-out country, without a sales team on the road.
- A new format: limoncello, but sparkling and in a can
- Hospitality buyers are busy and rarely answer unknown brands
- Venues spread from Auckland to Queenstown
- No distributor doing the introductions
The LaunchPal solution
Solbevi ran LaunchPal hospitality campaigns across New Zealand:
- 414 restaurants, bars, hotels, cafés and ski lodges found and checked
- Each email written for that venue, about why a limoncello spritz fits its menu
- Automatic follow-ups across connected mailboxes
- Every answer in one LaunchPal inbox, with interested venues marked as leads
The results
From 414 venues, 43 answered and 30 were interested in stocking or tasting Solbevi. The first replies came in the day after the first emails went out.
