‘Free’ is the magic word People like getting free stuff. So why don’t you give out free samples of your cakes. Giving away samples of your cakes for free can do wonders for your business. First, it lets people out there know that you exist. Second, it gives you a chance to let people taste your awesome cakes, so they can spread the word. Third, it provides your future customers with a risk-free way to try out your cakes without spending any money. And if customers love it, they will be willing to pay money for it. Let’s say Banke just moved to a new state wants to open a cake shop in her neighbourhood and she’s looking for a simple, cheap and effective way to advertise and kickstart her new business. She decides to put up a sign in front of her cake shop that reads: ‘Free box of cupcakes. First 20 People Only’. This reads like a sign that will definitely catch a lot of attention, right? That is the power of free! Anybody who walks into her shop for their free box of cupcakes and loves them will happily return next time to pay for it and will likely tell his friends, colleagues and neighbours about the ‘cool’ new cake shop down the road. Most people have a weakness for the word ‘free’. In their minds, it’s another opportunity to enjoy or use something without spending any money. Customers love ‘free’ because they have nothing to lose; they just sit back, relax and enjoy the product without any risk. By drawing them into your business, you give them a chance to see and experience something that would have been totally hidden from them if you didn’t open your door. However, you must make sure that the free stuff WILL NOT last forever. From the outset, determine the number of people who will enjoy the free stuff or how many days the promo will last. Not everybody should get free stuff; it’s the scarcity element that makes it very appealing. #cakebusiness #businessawesome #sellingcakes #marketing #coaching #cakebusinesstips #liveandlearn #cakebiz #bakerlife #smallbusiness #cakedecorator #homebasedbusiness #homebasedcakebusiness #freebies #free #cakeclass #cakebusinessclass #smallcakebusiness #bakingbusinessschool #rotimicakelady
Brand your vehicle Do you have a car? Great. Then let your car be an asset instead of a liability. Use your car to your best advantage. A branded vehicle with your company logo, phone number and website is an easy way to get the word out. When I’m out and about in Lekki I always see a purple small vehicle which advertise a clean up service. First the colour of the car is noticeable and I always see I around. So if I need a clean up service, who will I think of first? The name on the purple vehicle. So advertising your business on your car is a good way to go. If you do not have a car, you can brand yourself. Get different t-shirts and print your logo on them. Wear those shirts when you are running your errands, so that people around your locality can see you in them. #cakebusiness #businessawesome #sellingcakes #marketing #coaching #cakebusinesstips #liveandlearn #cakebiz #bakerlife #smallbusiness #cakedecorator #homebasedbusiness #homebasedcakebusiness #cakesidehustle #sidehustle #cakeclass #cakebusinessclass #smallcakebusiness #bakingbusinessschool #rotimicakelady #bakingbusinessowners #cakebusinessowners #branding #advertising
Hello , Nobody knows about my business? How many of you have said this or even thought about this? Running a business has its own challenges and the last thing that you want to happen is people not even knowing you exist. But this is the reality for most cake business owners in Nigeria. The more people that know you, the more likely you will get customers for your business. You want customers and you want everyone to know what your are selling, which are cakes. Maybe you’ve gotten a few customers under your belt, but because they are some people who are paying for your cakes doesn’t mean that your business is known state wide, nationwide or even worldwide. Who doesn’t want worldwide domination for your cakes? I am sure you do. So here are 5 ways to let the world or at least the locality where you live know about your business: Read more by going to the Bio link. #cakebusiness #businessawesome #sellingcakes #marketing #coaching #cakebusinesstips #liveandlearn #cakebiz #bakerlife #smallbusiness #cakedecorator #homebasedbusiness #homebasedcakebusiness #cakesidehustle #sidehustle #cakeclass #cakebusinessclass #smallcakebusiness #bakingbusinessschool #rotimicakelady #bakingbusinessowners #cakebusinessowners
Brand yourself Branding is very important. We want people to associate you with cake. So how do you do this? As you go about your daily activities, like while dropping your children at school, going to the market, making a delivery, wear a branded t-shirt of your business. You can buy different coloured t-shirts from the market. Then find someone to print your logo on the t-shirts. You can even print funny slogans on some of the t-shirts like ‘ Want cake, call me’, ‘a party without cake is just a meeting’; ‘you can’t buy happiness but you can buy cake’. When you do this, you may not notice it but people are watching. Your brand is registering in their heads subconsciously. So do not be shy about using yourself to advertise your busines. #branding #cakebusiness #businessawesome #sellingcakes #marketing #coaching #cakebusinesstips #liveandlearn #cakebiz #bakerlife #smallbusiness #cakedecorator #homebasedbusiness #homebasedcakebusiness #cakesidehustle #sidehustle #cakeclass #cakebusinessclass #smallcakebusiness #bakingbusinessschool #rotimicakelady #bakingbusinessowners #cakebusinessowners
Are you a potato, egg or coffee ? Once upon a time a girl complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled 3 pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the 3 pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes and boiled egg out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?” “Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied. “Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face. “Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity– the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? “ Moral: In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us. Which one are you? #motivationmonday #monday #motivation #inspiration #rotimicakelady
Have a cake party One strategy I told a member in one of my coaching sessions was the idea of having a cake party. She mentioned to me that she lived near a polytechnic. I told her she could have a lot of business from the students. I told her that if she knew one person who lived in a hostel she could have a cake party where she will offer free samples of her cakes, pastries and other baked goods to the students. She could print flyers to distribute to students inviting them to sample free cake. At the party, students will have a chance to sample her products, she can have one on one conversation with them. She can then distribute her menu of items or her business cards to those that attended. The wonderful thing is that you have all your target customers in one room, so this is the most excellent opportunity for you to project the best version of your business and to market to your ideal clients. #cakebusiness #businessawesome #sellingcakes #marketing #coaching #cakebusinesstips #liveandlearn #cakebiz #bakerlife #smallbusiness #cakedecorator #homebasedbusiness #homebasedcakebusiness #cakesidehustle #sidehustle #cakeclass #cakebusinessclass #smallcakebusiness #bakingbusinessschool #rotimicakelady #bakingbusinessowners #cakebusinessowners
