Social PR Secrets: public relations podcast for entrepreneurs by Lisa Buyer
From selling knives to owning multiple local businesses and venues, Derek Collins shares how he put his business on the map and kept it there. How do you keep a local small-business successful throughout multiple seasons including a global pandemic? Pedal Tavern owner and operator Derek Collins says the answer lies in customer service and customer relationships. In this episode of the Social PR Secrets, host Lisa Buyer spoke with Derek Collins about his experience managing a small local business and sustaining and growing his reach --especially through a global pandemic. Pedal Tavern was born in 2010 around a dream and a single passenger vehicle for customers to drink, pedal and experience the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in a new and entertaining way. Derek says that due to the success of the original business, Pedal Tavern has been able to expand into multiple ventures including; boat tours and in-house event space. During the episode, Derek shares his experiences with marketing and drawing customers to his business, handling reviews and tips as a small business owner going through the pandemic. What may surprise many people is the organic and old-school approaching Derek takes to digital marketing with Pedal Tavern. Although he does still use Instagram and Facebook, he says as a small local business Google Ads draw a lot of traffic to them as people search for Milwaukee experiences. As many know, the key to business success is reputation and reputations are built on reviews. Derek says the best result with review engagement from customers has been reaching them on a more personal level like a text message. In the episode, he shares how simply texting a link after their experience ends to leave a review garners more response and an overall more positive response as well. Despite all of the successes share, Derek and Pedal Tavern are not immune to the effects of the coronavirus plaguing the globe and halting business production everywhere. In order to keep his business alive, Derek had to find creative ways to speak with customers and continue the positive relationship they have despite not currently running tours. Incentives like gift certificates are what Derek has found as a great way to keep customers booking and using your small business, but booking ahead of time rather than getting upset with the lack of business in the current state, For small businesses that also have activities and booking lists, Derek suggests providing customers new booking times for next year, so they don’t just request refunds and leave. What’s Derek working on now? In the episode, he shares with Lisa the possibility of a Pedal Tavern collaboration with a Florida business to create boat tours in Key West. Similarly, he is now raising his new bundle of joy as his wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl during the pandemic. How can I get more customers interested in my small business? What should I do about coronavirus related cancellations or negative reviews? Tune into this episode to learn the answers to these questions and more concerning running a small local business. “The relationship you have with the customer is key. Keep positivity going and let them know you’re on their side they believe you and come back.” - Derek Collins

This week, the creator and host of the Fatherhood Is DOPE podcast (and future Tennessee governor) Aaron McGee joins Jeff and Doug to discuss life in Nashville as an early import from Jackson, Mississippi. He has a lot to say about how his upbringing, education, and faith made him into a compelling interviewer who is eager to talk about fatherhood from as many viewpoints as he can find. We talk about life with his three-year-old daughter Journey, how it's never too late to create and market a podcast as long as you invest in the content, and why Nashville's willingness to lead the way and fight systemic racism makes it the Athens of the South. (You probably shouldn't tell Athens, Georgia, about that last bit).
TJ & Tanner talk all things local to Nashville in this new episode. They discuss Taylor Swift supporting Black Lives Matter, the Nashville Police chief stepping down, and these businesses trying to open back up at full capacity!Follow us on Instagram @Views615Pod and send us questions you'd like discussed at views615pod@gmail.com!Don't forget to like and subscribe to our podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and Soundcloud!
By bike or by boat, it is the best pub crawl in town. The Milwaukee Pedal & Paddle Tavern has become the #1 tour in town in just a few, short years. Our guest, Derek Collins shares the ups and downs of a start-up business and how he and his partner, Ryan Lloyd have expanded their bike and boat bars. Pedal Tavern Origins When Derek’s partner, Ryan, called him to tell him about a bike bar up in Minneapolis they needed to have in Milwaukee, Derek thought his friend had gone nuts. Ryan replied, “it’s super fun and people will pay to do it.” So, in 2010, Derek and Ryan invested in their first bike bar and began operating the Pedal Tavern. The Pedal Tavern is a 16-seat, BYOB bike bar that is powered by riders who must pedal. The two-hour tours take riders to three to four pubs and restaurants of their choice in the Third Ward and Walker’s Point. Derek says they have partnerships with about 20 places that offer drink and food discounts to Pedal Tavern visitors. In the beginning, Derek operated every tour and business boomed, so the partners put all that money into a second bike tavern and kept reinvesting until they had five. Controversy Threatens Business When the Pedal Tavern applied for their fifth liquor license in 2012, the City of Milwaukee took notice and pulled the company’s liquor license. According to Derek, they were in a gray area that allowed the company to fall under the category of a “green limo.” The city argued since the bikes were not motor operated, they could not be considered a limo. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel printed this news on the front page with the headline, “Tapped Out.” The news was devastating to the company. People wanted to be able to drink on the Pedal Tavern tours. In 2013, business dropped by 50 percent. At the same time, Derek and Ryan were buying drink tokens from the bars to attract ridership. With minimal profit margins, they were not going to able to operate much longer. A compromise with the City of Milwaukee saved the fate of the Pedal Tavern. It was agreed to limit the number of drinks to three per person and no hard liquor. With their liquor license reinstate, the Journal Sentinel ran another front-page story and by 2014, ridership was back up and the company was back doing business better than before. Reinvestment Ignites Growth Last year, the company expanded to have boat tours as well. They added Paddle Taverns that, like the bikes, were BYOB and took riders on tours down the Milwaukee River, originating at a local bar, called the Harp. Each boat is manned with a captain and first mate. Riders are encouraged to pedal the boats; however, the boats also have a motor. Fifteen to 20 minutes into the tour, the riders typically stop pedaling, turn up the music and enjoy the tour and each other. Derek says they continue to invest back into the company. They’ve started an electric, Duffy boat company that individuals can rent and take out on the water. They also offer kayak rentals and have entered into another partnership with John Revord, owner of the Boone & Crockett bar and Mitch Ciohon, owner of Taco Moto, to purchase the Cooperage at 820 S. Water St. The building has three floors. The first floor has 11,000 sq. ft., and includes the Boone & Crockett Bar, a commercial kitchen and event space for weddings and concerts. The second and third floors are both 5,000 sq. ft. The second floor has an Air BnB, personal office space an art studio. The third floor is currently vacant, but Derek says they plan on creating a co-working share space. Marketing Strategy One of the beauties of having such a unique business is the buzz it creates. The controversy over the loss of the liquor license may have hurt at first; however once reinstated, it also created a lot of awareness for the company. Derek says they started their company with on Groupon offer in 2010, when Groupon was new and very popular. These days, word-of-mouth, visibility on the street and water and user-generated content on Facebook and Instagram. The company does advertise on Google AdWords and Yelp, and more recently radio ads within radio auctions. Entrepreneurial Opportunities Derek says investing in the bike and boat tour business isn’t cheap. The pedal taverns are about $45,000 each and the boats are roughly $120,000, plus an additional $20,000 in operating expenses for each business. If you are interested in doing this in other markets, he says there are some requirements you need to consider. The first is city approval for a liquor license. This concept doesn’t work without alcohol on board, even when the tours take you to neighboring pubs. The second is street access. In Chicago, the pedal tavern would not be allowed because the streets are too busy. And third, you must have the participation by the neighboring bars, restaurants and residents.
