Off-premise Activations

April 13, 2015 March 22, 2021

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!

Making Friends & Selling Beer – That’s What It’s All About

POOF! Trade Show Magic

February 21, 2013 March 22, 2021

I’m always being asked, “What exactly is a Corporate Magician?” A Corporate Magician is part magician, part salesman and part goodwill ambassador. Yes, corporate magicians wear many hats. But in all cases, the front of that hat always says, SELL.

With this said, there is a HUGE difference between a “professional magician”, “corporate entertainer”, and a “Corporate Magician”. In a nutshell, a Corporate Magician knows how to sell.

Corporate Magicians use magic as a tool to break down barriers and create an emotional bond between a customer and your product. Once this barrier is removed, and a rapport has been established, people become more receptive to hearing your sales message.

For example, one of the hats I wear is in the specialized field of corporate trade show magic, a world that I’ve been a part of for 30+ years. As a trade show magician, you must attract a trade show audience, deliver a sales message in a fun, memorable and entertaining way, qualify leads, and then create a call to action.

In other words, magic, when used properly, can be an extremely powerful sales tool.

So, why is that? Why magic?

Thinking INSIDE The Box

3 Comments / October 17, 2010 April 4, 2021

For over thirty-years we’ve been hearing the same old cliché, “Think outside the box”. I say cliché because that’s exactly what this mantra has become.

We continually hear this resounding statement as if it’s some sort of new found epiphany. It’s touted at sales meetings, brainstorming sessions, workshops, management gatherings, classrooms, PTA meetings, yada, yada, yada. It’s become so overused that it’s been relegated to the level of a meaningless, un?motivational cliché.

People who say, Think Outside The Box, are themselves stuck in the confines of a single box and trying to escape. If they weren’t, they would not continue referencing the same overused line. I understand this adage is symbolic, but at its core it’s sending the wrong message. It assumes that boxes are a bad thing and that you need to escape from within in order to be creative.

WRONG… …
