KCB Social, it’s right there in the name—Kansas City Be Social. It also works on another level, KansasCityBeer.com (KCB, get it?) was started by Sam Geier in 2014, as a way to bring a lot of information to visitors, residents, and beer-lovers all in one place. Instead of going to twenty different websites to find pictures, reviews, stories, and events, KansasCityBeer.com offers a way to plan and be prepared.
The helpful website attracts about 500-1,000 people per day and even more on social media. In the two years we’ve had an Instagram account, we’ve reached nearly 2,000 followers, and that’s with posting only sporadically. We are really good at social media. Searching hashtags, liking appropriate pictures, gaining followers through face-to-face interaction, posting great content are all ways of bringing people to your business or buying your product off the store shelf. Social media is very important for brand name recognition. Even if that person doesn’t follow you, they still have your name and logo in the back of their head for the next time they see you.
So onto us. In 2006, we (Trey & Sam Geier) decided beer, wine, and liquor would be a big part of our lives when we starting managing Trey’s mother’s liquor store in Stanley, Kansas. Since then, we have visited breweries, craft beer bars, wineries, and distilleries in Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Colorado. Our love grew deeper for the society that surrounds the liquor industry especially in Kansas City. We’ve been on a Boulevard Brewing tour twice a year since 2006, and when Big Rip opened in 2013, we made sure we were there on day 1. Since Big Rip opened, several others have followed and now we have over 30 breweries, wineries, and distilleries. We’ve even dabbled into the alcohol arts, brewing a few batches of beer ourselves. In 2014, seeing the expansion grow rapidly, we bought the domain name KansasCityBeer.com and made it into the best Kansas City beer informational website out there.
With our expertise in the liquor community and widespread reach through KansasCityBeer.com, we know we can help you reach the right people to get you recognized.
