ABC Store Tastings Across North Carolina
Professional in-store tasting events at NC ABC stores—board coordination, ABC-trained brand ambassadors, and detailed reporting after every event.
Why Brands Invest in ABC Store Tastings
In North Carolina's control-state system, ABC stores are where spirits purchase decisions happen. An in-store tasting puts your product directly in a shopper's hand at the moment they're choosing what to buy—no advertising channel gets closer to the sale.
A well-run tasting introduces consumers to new labels, educates them on what makes your product different, and converts trial into purchase and repeat business. It also builds relationships with store staff who recommend products long after the event ends.
DR Promotions has executed over 1,000 events for 50+ premium labels, and ABC store tastings are the core of what we do.
Trial at the Point of Purchase
Shoppers taste your product steps from the shelf where they can buy it.

Trained ambassadors tell your brand story and answer questions in person.
