I have recently acquired a new client opportunity in the "baked goods" category.
This is a straight-forward, entrepreneurial enterprise. My clients have decided to take family recipes for liquor-laced, fresh, fruit and confection cakes, and put them into the marketplace.
Within their workplace, they have grown a holiday client base of over 300, in the last two years...(respectable). The demand is increasing, and they are getting a lot of encouragement to make this a business.
Reviews are fantastic. I have tasted several of their selections, and...in all honesty, believe they are among the very finest liquor (rum)-flavored cakes I have ever tasted. The alcohol content is not high, and a very small part of the over-all flavor...but noticeable, which is nice.
I will not divulge the flavors, which isn't the major issue at this point. But, I would definitely like to hear from you as to what you believe are the directions you would take, if you had this project.
This is a ground-up project, from naming of corporation, business plan, marketing strategy, product(s) manufacturing, distribution, labeling, packaging..and....you tell me.
We have decades of business-launch experience, as do many of you...but, have yet to launch bakery goods.
Help us out...what would you do? Any and all suggestions and guidance accepted...I'm looking for "BIG ideas" and concepts and am willing to pay BIG points for them.
