Bakery marketing that starts before you open

Bakery marketing for shopfront bakeries: found on Google Maps at 7am, specials posted before opening and cake orders made easy.

Social media plans from $1,500 + GST a month

Bakery marketing

Bakery marketing built around the baker’s day

Rock Solid Marketing provides bakery marketing for shopfront bakeries across regional Australia, built around the hours a bakery actually keeps. A tradie searches for a bakery on the way to a 6.30am start, Google shows your old opening hours, and they drive to the servo instead.

We keep your Google profile right, post the day’s specials before the doors open, make celebration cake orders simple and help you sell to local cafes. Allergen information stays accurate, because customers rely on it.

Social media plans start from $1,500 + GST a month. If fixing your Google profile and adding a cake order form will do the job, we’ll tell you before we quote.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. Google shows the wrong hours, so early customers think we’re closed.

    What we do

    We keep your Google Business Profile hours, holiday closures and photos current, so early risers know you’re open.

  2. Cake orders come in by phone, text and Facebook, and details get lost.

    What we do

    A simple cake order form collects the date, size, flavour and allergies in one place, and sends them to your inbox.

  3. We’d like to supply local cafes but don’t know how to approach them.

    What we do

    We design a short wholesale price list and sample pack card, and a one-page site section for cafe and catering orders.

How we help

Marketing for bakery owners, morning to night

A bakery sells most before most businesses open, so your marketing has to be ready early.

Found at 7am

A complete Google Business Profile with accurate early hours, photos of the cabinet and directions, so people searching on the way to work choose you.

Specials posted early

Scheduled posts and stories that show the day’s bake and specials before you open, without you picking up your phone at 4am.

Cake orders made simple

A celebration cake page and order form with sizes, flavours, lead times and allergy questions, so orders arrive complete.

Wholesale and catering

A wholesale price list, a catering menu and a short pitch for local cafes, offices and events, designed to match your brand.

Allergens shown clearly

Allergen information on your menu and posts kept accurate, in line with the Food Standards Code’s allergen labelling rules.

Seasonal campaigns

Hot cross buns, Christmas puddings and footy-season pies promoted ahead of time, so customers pre-order instead of missing out.

Who it’s for

Is it the right fit?

Who it’s for

  • Independent shopfront bakeries
  • Cake and patisserie shops
  • Bakeries with wholesale or catering orders
  • Country bakeries that rely on travellers

Not a fit

Your plan

A bakery marketing plan for the year

We start with your trade: busy days, quiet afternoons, best sellers and how many orders come by phone. Then we write a simple marketing plan for your bakery: the seasonal products to promote, the posts to schedule and the order forms to add.

Many bakeries start with social media and a Google profile, then add a website or wholesale materials. Each month we meet to review orders and plan the next season’s specials.

  • Trade patterns and best sellers reviewed
  • Seasonal products planned ahead
  • Posts scheduled before opening
  • Order forms for cakes and catering
  • Monthly review of orders

Ready when your customers are.

How To Use Social Media To Build Trust & Drive Sales For Your Business

In 2025, social media remains one of the most powerful tools small business owners can use to build their brand, connect with customers, and drive sales. But let’s be honest: between running your business, managing day-to-day tasks, and keeping customers happy, finding the time and energy to stay consistent on social media can feel overwhelming.

Our social media plans start from $1,500 + GST a month for one platform and 2 posts a week. A Google Business Profile set-up is $500 + GST, and design work such as a wholesale price list is $175 + GST an hour. Partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month cover every channel.

Usually several groups at once: early workers and tradies, parents on the school run, older locals who come daily, people ordering celebration cakes, and cafes or offices buying wholesale. In country towns, travellers passing through matter too. Each group needs a slightly different message and time of day.

Be easy to find early, show the day’s bake before you open, make ordering simple and give regulars a reason to come back. A sound marketing strategy for a bakery also plans seasonal products ahead and builds steady wholesale or catering orders for the quieter afternoons.

Post the first tray out of the oven each morning, run a pre-order window for seasonal items, feature a staff member’s favourite each week, offer a coffee-and-pastry deal with the cafe next door, and ask regulars for Google reviews. Simple, regular ideas usually beat one big campaign.

Your customers and their times of day, your best sellers and seasonal products, the channels you’ll use, a simple calendar of posts and promotions, and how you’ll take orders. A marketing plan for a bakery should also say what you’ll measure, such as cake orders or wholesale accounts.

We don’t name bakery clients on this page. Our food and hospitality work includes social media and creative for Sunraysia Farmers Market and websites for food and wine businesses. We bring that local marketing experience to bakeries, and we’re upfront about it.

No, our plans have no lock-in contracts. Your Google profile, social accounts, photos and designs belong to your bakery, so you can take over at any time.
