Well to start you can feel inspired by these 18 free business card templates for bakery shop that I created specially for you.
This blog post is all about bakery business card ideas
A business card is definitely a mighty tool. Yes, still nowardays. Really, that tiny rectangle of, often cardstock, can be a game-changer to your baking business. You know, it isn’t just about having your business contact details at hand, it is more about leaving a lasting impression to your customers. That is why I will also mention here why it is so important to have one, being it physic or a digital one, and what could go wrong if you don’t. Spoiler: It’s not pretty.
What could happen if you don’t have a business card?
Just picture this for just a second: A curious customer walks into your bakery and tries one of your signature chocolate croissants. This client is blown away. The recipe is spot on and they tell you it’s the best croissant they have eaten all year. After that, naturally, yoou are thrilled and grateful for their compliment, and they leave promising to come back.
After a couple of weeks. That same customer is at a friend’s brunch party, talking about your croissants. After listening how tasty your croissants were, their friend is intrigued and then asks “So what is the name of the bakery?”. After that, I strongly believe that the risks are that they can give the directions of the bakery shop, but not the name, or the business contact details and just ending up sayinf “Hmm… it’s that little place downtown… with the blue sign? Or maybe it was teal?”. Not so good, right? See, that was just one scenario or thousants that could happen.
Although it is not the end of the world, if you do not have a business card to remind them, the chances that your bakery’s name is pretty high. Now what could happen is that your potential customer is “Googling” “amazing croissants near me” and probably just ending up at your competition. Big chances are that this situation could have been avoided with a simple business card handed into their hand, or maybe even into the bag with their croissant.
But why business cards are non-negotiable for bakery owners?
Well, business cards are not just a way to share your number, that is for sure. They are definitely a physical, or digital, reminder of your bakery’s charm, quality, and, of course, personality. You know, a personal connection through this business card can keep you top of mind. Here are just a few reasons why I think every bakery owner should carry them:
Well, first, they can actually make it easy to your customers to remember you. At the moment, people may be enthusiastic, but you know life happens, and they may just forget your name as soon as they leave your shop. By having a physical or digital business card can be used as a friendly nudge to visit again.
Besides reacheable, I strongly belive they are very useful for networking. See, whether you are, for intance, at a farmers’ market, a food festival, or just chatting with someone who asks what you do, having a card on hand makes it very easy to connect with them. That is because you never know when a casual conversation might turn inroo to a new catering gig, or loyal customer, right?
Last but not least, a business cards can add a professional touch that speaks volumes about your lovely bakery’s brand. They have the power to show that you are taking your craft very seriously and making it easy for people to find you.
So, what should you include in your bakery business card?
Here is a important thing to realise, your card is like a bite-sized representation of your bakery, so make it count. At the least, it should include your bakery’s name and logo design, if you want your name for more personalisation, and your contact details like phone, email, and if you have one website address. In case you have a physical location, you absolutely should include your address. Social media profiles can be a great addition too. Customers just love following updates, photos of delicious products, and special promotions that can save them money.
Do you want to go an extra mile? Great! Maybe you could add a tagline that reflects your vibe, or what makes you unique, like “Baking Veggie Dreams Daily” or another example is “Handcrafted happy bites.” Oh yeah and a QR code. A QR code is another super interesting thing. It can direct the customer via a link to your Instagram, or an online ordering platform to you use which can make it even easier for them to connect and order delicious pastries with you.
