Why Control States Deserve a Strategy. You can’t ignore control states like Pennsylvania and Utah. They require different pricing. Different approvals. And a totally different pitch. Control states operate their own retail systems—and control their own buying. It’s slower, more bureaucratic, but also more predictable if approached strategically.

Price by Tier, Not Ego. Don’t price based on how much you love your bottle. Price based on market fit and tier strategy. Ego pricing leads to distributor rejection. Know where you sit in the market — and price like you belong.

Use Market Data to Validate Your Entry Strategy Look at consumption by category and state. Align with existing velocity. Don’t fight the data—leverage it. Great brands use real data to guide where and how they launch. Don’t guess your way into a new market—study the consumer base, existing distribution, and how your competitors are performing.

Stop Copying Other Tequila Brands. If your pitch includes 'small batch' and 'smooth,' it’s already been done. Stand out by standing for something real. Avoid vague clichés and own your difference — even if it's uncomfortable.

Treat each retail buyer like a long-term partner — not just a transaction. Building shelf space starts with building trust.

Your Distributor Isn’t Your Sales Team. Distributors move product—they don’t build your brand. Support matters. Activation matters. Reps remember who makes it easier. Many brand owners overestimate how much their distributor will 'sell' the product. The brands that move are the ones who show up with materials, support, and local knowledge to drive real pull-through.
