AI marketing for bakery and dessert businesses
The croissants sell out by ten and the birthday cakes are booked three weeks ahead. A bakery has two businesses, the case and the custom order, and each needs its own kind of message. Flo writes both.
Bakeries sell things people photograph before they eat them. The case is the ad, the custom cake is the long-term customer, and a post every morning shows both.
Written for the case and the custom order.
Which kind of bakery do you run?
A dessert chain with shops in several markets, a bakery or dessert shop with a case and a kitchen, and a cottage baker working from home all sell things people want the moment they see them. Pick yours.
Bakery and dessert use cases
Four jobs the platform runs on a bakery account, split between today's case and next month's orders.
This Morning's Case
What came out of the oven, posted before people leave for work.
Order Ahead
Custom cakes and holiday orders, with lead times stated.
Allergens, Stated
Sesame, nuts and gluten information, clear and consistent.
The Occasion List
Birthdays and holidays remembered, with a note before the date.
Other food and beverage businesses we set up differently
Bakeries sit next to the other shops that sell things people photograph first.
Marketing by company size
The same platform, framed by how many kitchens, trucks or locations you run, not by what you cook.
You have questions. We have answers.
What comes up on the first call with a bakery.
How far ahead should we promote holiday orders?
Earlier than feels natural. Thanksgiving pies and holiday cookie boxes sell out, so a post in early November tells customers the order window is open. The ones who hear in the week before are disappointed.
How do we handle allergen questions?
Clearly and the same way every time. Sesame became the ninth major allergen on packaged food labels in January 2023, and FDA notes some suppliers added small amounts of sesame to products that did not have it before. Check ingredient labels and state what you know.
What content works for a bakery?
The case every morning and finished custom cakes. Close-up photos of real bakes are some of the most shared posts in food.
Should we take custom orders online?
A simple order form with lead times, sizes and starting prices saves hours on the phone and lets customers order without calling.
