Spring44 spirits are made with natural artesian spring water and offer unique flavor profiles that lend themselves to creative cocktail ideas for your consumers.
The best opportunity for success at the Fountainbleau is a venue specific approach that is narrow in scope and calls for key activation elements to help drive not only trial but also repeat purchase.
We would like to build a back half plan that can lead to a FY 2013 plan based upon successful implementation on 2012 elements.
