Hot off the press! Check out the new website for the Liquor Barn in Long Lake, Minnesota. The Liquor Barn was established in 1976, and has the best selection of wine, beer, and spirits in their area. Just a quick 16 minute drive from Minneapolis, the staff is ready to help you enjoy your evening!

The Liquor Barn’s website features a content management system, which allows them to update content and add weekly specials. Their blog – cleverly named “Sips & Tips” – will be used for wine reviews, announcing sales, and keeping customers informed about upcoming wine tastings and other events.

Iceberg has also incorporated a Newsletter feature into their website administration. Customers can sign up for e-mail updates, and the liquor barn staff can compose e-mail newsletters and mail them all from the same Admin area that they manage their website with. The newsletter is designed to match their website and includes links to their Facebook page, Twitter account and blog.
