You Can't Resist

Warning! This blog post is irresistible.

You should set fire to your debit card now to avoid the temptation that lies ahead, because this issue was made using all the best marketing tips we could find on the internet.

Absolute pieces of gold like this:

“Make your product exclusive.”

We’ve nailed that one already.

Our cakes are among the most exclusive in Ireland. If we bake a cake for you, we guarantee that only you can have it. If somebody else wants it, they’ll have to order their own.

(Also, our accountant says we won’t make much of a living if we only ever baked one cake for everyone to share.)

If you would like your own private cake that nobody else can have, just you, not them, and especially not that lot, then click here:

A CAKE JUST FOR YOU AND NOT FOR ANYONE ELSE

A cake like this, for instance:

Three layers of red velvet cake, separated by two generous layers of butter cream. All topped with more butter cream and decorated with meringue swirls, chocolate curls, summer fruits and edible flowers.

So, be warned, we’ve selected Ten Top Marketing Tips to seduce you into buying something.
