Hell sir ,after reading so many posts about bakery ,I have some ideas for improving the bakery sales.
1.Print some Advertising Leaflets with good picture and price , and hand out to people nearby ,if you can offer delivery service ,within a certain distance and the bread reaches how much , you can offer free delivery service.
2.Make membership card ,offer some discount for the shop's member ,and special gift or discount for member's birthday cake,this may be attractive.
3.If people are not quite know your shop much or have not taste your bread before , you can offer “free try to eat " activity to subway,station or some places there are many people there (the good time is about 5 to 6 pm, this time ,people just off work and very hungry,they would like to get a try of free bread) ,this may lost you a few money ,but if your bread or cake are good flavor ,after people have tasted it ,they would like to pay for it in the future ,it is a long term business.
4.Usually ,shop here in China will have a big discount for bread at afternoon, to ensure sell fresh bread next day.
5.Special discount at some special holiday ,the discount can be : buy one get two, reaches 50 decrease 5 ect.

And by the way ,we are supplier of bakery equipment from China, if any one need bakery equipment ,please feel free to contact me by :

bebe2: hi NL, i have a bakery in benin city nigeria. it was opened in january and its been run by my sister.
the problem is were are not making a profit.
i spent about 4million setting it up but it has refused to get off the ground.

cost of baking one bag of flour (including other ingredients)according to my calculations is about N11,800.
they are making profit of about N1200 fom each bag after expenses.
this doesnt make sense, i expect to make at least 40% of the cost of making a bag of flour.

we cant even holdon to a baker they come spend 1 month and they are gone.

pls anyone wit experience, can u help wit tips?
