1. Allow different flavours within boxes. Customers love the build your own box concept and nobody really wants a box of the same flavour anyway hehe
2. Work with corporate customers. There’s always an occasion and if you do a good job they’ll likely come back again & again
3. Offer delivery. It expands opportunities of who you can sell to as you aren’t just limited to your local area
4. Offer mini versions. So quick & easy to make, quantities add up fast. They’re perfect for sharing and for kids!
5. Occasion specific products (giving people an actual reason to buy e.g. baby shower, new home gift etc) it makes the purchase choice easier
6. Keep up to date with seasonal events & occasions, each one is a new opportunity!
7. Mix classics with creatives. People are drawn in by what they recognise, you don’t win prizes for the most creative flavours..
8. Have easy, scalable products and recipes you know bake consistently each time, no matter the quantity
9. Keep cookie dough in the freezer to bake on demand and say yes to last minute orders
10. Give a genuinely good service — being friendly, reliable, on time. People remember how you made them feel just as much as what you baked
11. Reward loyalty — small discounts, freebies, or even just remembering a returning customer.. A little bit of kindness goes a long way (also a good way to use up any leftovers)
You don’t need a big or complicated menu! I always suggest a couple of products you love & getting really good at them..
I baked for business for over 10 years. It started as a bit of fun in my parents’ kitchen but eventually became my full time job 🥹
