Jacksonville's Original Craft Brewery

Intuition Ale Works opened in 2010 as Jacksonville's first production craft brewery, pioneering the city's craft beer scene. Located in the Riverside neighborhood, Intuition has built a loyal following with quality beers, a welcoming taproom, and deep community roots. But as Jacksonville's craft beer scene has exploded with new breweries, taprooms, and beer-focused restaurants, even the original needs smart marketing to stay competitive.

Research shows that 76% of people who search for something nearby visit within a day, and 80% of consumers want location-based alerts from businesses according to Factual (now Foursquare). The challenge is reaching beer enthusiasts and casual drinkers during the decision window-weekday evenings and weekends when they're choosing where to grab a drink.

The Challenge: Standing Out in a Crowded Craft Beer Market

Jacksonville now has dozens of breweries competing for customers. Intuition benefits from its Riverside location and reputation, but traditional advertising is expensive and inefficient. Billboards cost $5,000-$15,000 per month with no measurement. Social media reaches existing followers but struggles to convert new customers. The key is reaching drivers near the brewery exactly when they're deciding where to go for happy hour or weekend drinks.

The WilDiMaps Solution: Roadside Reach on Riverside Corridors

Intuition Ale Works can use WilDiMaps Roadside Reach to target drivers along key Riverside and surrounding corridors during peak taproom hours-weekday evenings (4-7pm) and weekend afternoons (12-6pm). Specific Jacksonville targeting areas include:

  • King Street and Park Street in Riverside
  • Roosevelt Boulevard approaching Five Points
  • San Marco Boulevard southbound toward Riverside
  • I-95 exits near Downtown and Riverside

How It Works: The 4-Step WilDiMaps Process

Step 1: Build Your Campaign
Intuition uses the geo-ad builder to select streets and corridors near the brewery, setting campaigns to run during peak taproom hours.

Step 2: Drivers See Your Banner
WilDi app users see Intuition's banner while driving through Riverside-exactly when they're deciding where to grab a drink.

Step 3: Ad Saved to Driver's Inbox
The banner is saved to the driver's inbox automatically-no tapping while driving, ensuring safety.

Step 4: Verified Delivery = Payment
When the driver parks and confirms they received the ad, Intuition pays. Only verified deliveries count-no bots, no fake impressions.

The ROI Case: Pay Only for Real Customers in Your Area

Traditional advertising wastes money on people who aren't nearby or interested in craft beer. Compare the efficiency:

  • Billboard: $5,000-$15,000/month, zero verification
  • Social media ads: Low engagement outside existing followers
  • WilDiMaps: Pay only when verified drivers near your brewery confirm delivery

BIA Advisory Services reports that location-targeted mobile ads are 20x more effective than generic mobile ads. WilDiMaps adds verification-ensuring your taproom marketing reaches real drivers in real cars making real decisions about where to drink.

Keep Jacksonville's Original Brewery Top of Mind
