Educating Consumers About Exceptional Wine and Spirits Brands

We're Passionate About Promoting Beverage Brands Through Memorable Experiential Marketing

Cheers to 20+ Years of Experience

Hi, I'm Lesa! With over 20 years in the wine and spirits industry, I love sharing my extensive knowledge with people - covering everything from production methods, history behind the brand, cocktail recipes, and the best food pairings.


Working at liquor stores taught me how to educate consumers in a fun, effective way. Planning events taught me how to bring brands to life through memorable activations. When laws allowed in-store tastings in Tennessee, I saw a perfect opportunity to combine my extensive industry connections with my gift for engaging consumers.


As a long time Nashvillian, I also have an insider’s view into our market. Whether brands seek elevated in-store experiences, venue activations, or unforgettable events, my reliable and creative team can deliver.


I founded Cheers Promotions to be the go-to local agency for brands seeking an educated, well-connected resource capable of producing customized promotions that get products the exposure, engagement and sales they deserve. My dedication to the industry and passion for what we do shines through in every tasting and event we run.

Brand Promotions = More Sales

We know standing out and reaching consumers can be challenging.


Getting products the recognition and sales they deserve takes immense time and effort. From in-store tastings to captivating events, executing effective promotions is difficult to do alone.


Our locally-based agency helps you drive sale by:

  • Conducting consistent, quality in-store tastings providing consumer education even when you can’t be onsite
  • Planning and activating captivating bar/restaurant promotions and venue events that align with your brand
  • Representing your brand at various external events like festivals, golf tournaments, & trade shows
  • Delivering detailed recaps and sales data, proving ROI from each promotion


Our deep industry connections and creativity come together for tailored, effective activations. We're the passionate, Nashville-based outlet you want promoting your brand and driving results. Let us take the hassle out of experiential marketing!

Showing Off Wine and Spirits Brands is Our Superpower

Sure, we have decades of experience, but our team is the best at what we do because of our passion. We LOVE interacting one-on-one with consumers, creating fun sampling experiences for exceptional brands, educating people about the history of the brand, proper tasting techniques, and suggesting perfect recipes and pairings. 

Knowing how to consistently promote your brand is hard. That's why you should trust our reliable team to handle it for you. We have a wealth of marketing ideas to create customized brand promotions tailored to your goals and we know how to deliver experiences that charm audiences while driving sales. Our locally-based agency has the proven capabilities and relationships to execute promotions that get beloved brands the desirable exposure you want, without requiring your stretched team to be on site.

One of my responsibilities is scheduling in-store sampling events for a very large wine and spirits store.
It can sometimes be an arduous task with last minute cancellations, staffing issues, and more.

But when I know a tasting event is being conducted by Lesa McCrary’s associates, I know they are going to be punctual and courteous, and I know they are going to help sell more product.

Two thumbs up!

I've been working with Lesa for over 5 years now and I am never disappointed in her and her team's results. She is quick to respond and goes above and beyond to help the brands she works with.

In 2018 when I was tasked to build a new brand in a highly competitive category I didn't know where to start. I had direction but no help. I was introduced to Lesa and started using Cheers Promotions, they quickly became my go to tasting company in Middle TN. Soon after working with Lesa I realized that Cheers Promotions was much more than a tasting company, they were a valued partner. With her contacts, dedication and passion for the industry my brand soon launched to the next level. I can truly say my success was directly connected to Lesa and her wonderful team at Cheers Promotions!
