Wine, Liquor, and Beverage On-Site Personalization in St. Louis
Turn your next sales activation into an instant crowd pleaser through on-site engraving.
Live bottle engraving and calligraphy drives purchases, builds brand loyalty, and gives your customers a reason to stay. All beverage brand activations are done by hand by St. Louis Calligrapher Emma Vonder Haar and require minimal setup (just a table and chair) for a small event footprint with a big sales impact.

Live Bottle Engraving in St. Louis
The perfect gift with purchase item for an in-store activation. Customers choose and purchase their bottle, choose an inscription, and have it engraved on the spot. Engraving works for all bottles except bubbly (due to the pressurized contents), but bottle painting or calligraphy can be easily substituted. These are excellent for any beverage brand activation in St. Louis.
In-Store Calligraphy Activation
Ideal for gift tags, cards with purchase, or any other gifting event (especially around Christmas, Graduation, and Mother’s/Father’s Day), live calligraphy is an excellent addition to any retail activation to add on a complimentary card for their gifted bottle. This is a great option for liquor store event marketing or a wine personalization event if live bottle engraving isn’t the right fit. See how this event worked for Veuve Clicquot for a Mother’s Day activation.
Personalized Glassware
A personalization that works as a live event or part of an off-site studio project, personalized glassware and barware are excellent promotions. Nearly any item can be personalized (think: bottle openers, coasters, tumblers, decanters) on materials like glass, ceramic, leather, wood, and more. These are ideal corporate gifting calligraphy opportunities in addition to live personalization events.
“Emma was an incredible vendor and partner to work with. She was consistently responsive, reliable, and a clear communicator throughout. She supported us across multiple phases of the project and was exceptionally easy to collaborate with at every stage, from pre-event planning to live event support and post-event wrap-up. The project truly wouldn’t have been as successful without her.”

How It Works
Step 1: Tell me about your event
Share your sales or event goals, date, location, and expected foot traffic. We'll talk through personalization options to best reach your goals. That could look like an in-store pop-up, supporting a booth at an event or trade show, or a gifting campaign for key accounts. Half-baked ideas are more than welcome (I love a good brainstorm!).
Step 2: We align on the details
You'll receive a clear proposal covering setup, duration, deliverables, and pricing. I coordinate directly with your team on logistics and give you a clear picture of what the event or project will look like so there are no surprises. All details are outlined in the event contract and 25% of the event fee is required to hold the date.
Step 3: Showtime!
I arrive early, set up without disruption, and run a polished activation your customers and accounts will remember. Most events just require a single table, chair, and access to a power source. You stay focused on making sales, not the activation itself. After the event, I put together a report of items personalized, peak traffic times, and sales so you can calculate ROI of the activation.
