We teamed up with Hermes Marketing Group (HMG) to produce our first beverage menu, and could not have been more pleased with the level of professionalism and quality of the finished menu. Toney Hermes, president of HMG, was great to work with and very flexible. We will continue to use HMG in the future not only for our beverage programs, but for all other areas of marketing support.

Email response to a program HMG created for Eateries Inc:

Toney,
On a side note...the Strawberry Mango drink promotion has been a slam dunk!! All stores are selling it like Crazy.  You had a very nice compliment from more than one location, the artwork on the pos almost sells the drink without any help!

Thank you,

I recently worked with Hermes Marketing Group on a project for a large Dallas based restaurant chain.  They created a series of compelling drink recipes using Zonin Prosecco, produced an impactful presentation for the account and at the tasting produced the drinks to the delight of the customers beverage marketing team.  I plan on using Hermes Marketing Group again as our business grows in 2009.  Great job Toney and HMG!

I was referred to Hermes Marketing Group (HMG) through a contact at RNDC during the Menu Development phase of opening of our Oliveto Italian Bistro concept.  HMG was focused on providing us with the signature cocktails we were looking for while at the same time keeping on-hand inventory at a reasonable level.

Their response time and turnaround was very timely and the training materials he provided were some of the most professional that I've seen throughout my restaurant career. I would not hesitate to recommend Hermes Marketing Group and will certainly use their services again in the future.

I recently worked with Hermes Marketing Group on a project for Movie Tavern.  They created a fabulous specialty drink menu for our cinema eateries. They also created a unique series of movie themed posters to promote our adult beverages. Both campaigns turned out great and I plan on using Hermes Marketing Group again as our business grows.

Toney Hermes and the Hermes Marketing Group were recommended to me to work on a new cocktail menu concept for Main Event Entertainment, our first ever venture into beverage marketing at that level. We met and I reviewed my vision and expectations of the menu. I was pleasantly surprised by Toney's direction and initiative in his creative thinking. When the finished product was launched it received rave reviews from guests and employees alike. Toney's customer service in following up on the production was exactly what I would expect and I cannot talk highly enough of the project and the final outcome.

Santa Fe Cattle Company teamed up with Hermes Marketing Group in early 2010 to help us develop our entire beverage program and menu.  We were looking for someone with a forward thinking mentality, lots of fun, and easy to work with.  We couldn't be more pleased with Toney and his group.  Not only was the work fresh, fun and very creative, we have found a true partner in Toney.  As we continue to grow, we will absolutely use Toney not only with our beverage program, but with marketing strategies.

"I was referred to Hermes Marketing Group by a spirit partner to produce our first drink menu for the Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill's in Oklahoma.  It has been amazing the professionalism of the group while maintaining the simplicity that we prefer.  Once they put the first design together it has been effortless to make changes to the menu.  We recently added a page for Toby's new Wild Shot Mezcal and the turnaround time beat the product to our locations.  We look forward to a long relationship with the Hermes Group."
