Social Media for Bakeries and Cake Shops

A photo of a finished cake on a table is the most common bakery post in Nepal and one of the weakest. People order when they can see it being made and know what it costs.

Film the making, not the finished box

The cream going on, the knife through the layers, the piping bag, the first slice. Twelve seconds of that beats a still photo of the same cake every time.

Order questions belong on screen

Bakery messages are always the same four questions. Answer them in the video and the comments turn into orders.

  • Price by size, one kilo and half kilo.
  • How much notice you need for a custom order.
  • Whether you deliver, where, and for how much.
  • Which flavours are ready today, no ordering needed.

Sell the occasion, not the cake

People search for a birthday, an anniversary, an office farewell. Film one video per occasion with the sizes and prices that fit it, and your videos start landing when people are already deciding.

Post before the buying hour, not after

Cake orders are decided in the evening and picked up the next day. Publish in the late afternoon, and put your cut-off time for tomorrow on screen.

Real examples

Bad line, good line.

Most people write

A photo of a finished cake with "Order now ✨".

Say this instead

Twelve seconds: cream going on, the knife through, the first slice.

Most people write

"Price inbox."

Say this instead

"One kilo NPR 1,200. Two days notice for custom. Delivery inside Ring Road NPR 100."
