Event Recap

BL House of Whatever – Spring Break, FL

When it comes to making a strong and memorable brand impression, while also increasing sales, add the A-B Master Illusionist into the mix.

When Rick Gerber makes an appearance, you know that the fun and magic is about to begin. But, as with any great magician, there’s more happening than what meets the eye. In reality, there’s some serious selling going on.

Magic is the tool I use to sell. When used properly, my appearances fuel sales and builds lasting brand relationships.

Off-premise Activations

Looking for a massive off-premise sales lift during major events or holidays? Then incorporate the A-B Master Illusionist into your overall activation plan.

NRS and The Lewis Bear Company brought me in for a four-day activation at Walmart during Spring Break in Panama City Beach, FL. Check out this video and see how I helped them reach a new Walmart A-B beer selling sales record!

Use this off-premise activation to help leverage a 250 to 500 case floor display in a prime location for sporting events, grand openings, NASCAR, Spring Break or major summer holidays. Basically any event that draws beer buying consumers into the stores.

Bring the A-B Master Illusionist into your market and find out firsthand why both the retailer and consumer response to this activation is HUGE!
