As with any business, the key to keeping a bakery afloat is drawing customers in. You work hard every day to create the prettiest, tastiest, most creative baked concoctions you can, but customers need to be drawn to your business in order to appreciate them. Don’t let a boring display cause you to lose out on customers. Here are four things you can do in order to draw customers into your business.

1. Pick Your Location Carefully

You need to be where your customers are. Know your target audience, whether it be well-off Millenials or soccer-moms. Learn where your target demographics live and like to shop before you start looking for buildings to rent, and choose a location that will get a lot of foot traffic. 

2. Invest in Good Graphic Design

They say the devil is in the details, and that is especially true when running a business. Good graphic design clearly communicates why a customer should enter your bakery at a near-subliminal level. If a marketing campaign is working properly, the customer should hardly notice it. Bad graphic design, on the other hand, is something customers will take notice of immediately and will shun your business for it. 

3. Show Off Your Creations

Once customers are in the door, you need to consider what they will see. Custom refrigerated display cases are a great way to show off your menu items in a convenient, eye-catching way. This clearly shows the customer what your baked goods look like, and gives them an opportunity to look at the quality of your products up close. 

4. Build a Website 

Similar to graphic design, building a high-quality website helps solidify your brand. Maintaining good web traffic will keep your bakery relevant and help spread the word of it to new potential customers.
