Looking for new ways to bring in revenue?
You can sell more than pastries and coffee. Here are just a few ideas for diversifying your bakery’s revenue stream:
- Dry mixes (cookie/cake/pancake mix)
- Coffee beans
- Coffee mug
- Water bottle
- Keychains
- Hats
- T-shirts
- Recipe book
- Soap (yes, soap! Curiosity Doughnut sells soap featuring recycled donut oil and other aromatics)
- Gift cards
- Online or in-person class
- Party supplies (candles, balloons, streamers, cards)
- Wedding planning checklist
Considerations
- Where will you sell these – in-store or nationwide shipping?
- If you offer nationwide shipping, explore packaging options.
- Are you pre-paying for merchandise or partnering with an on-demand fulfillment center?
- Can you partner with local event planners or gift shops for birthday and wedding accessories?
