Marketing

You are planning to open a new bakery in a medium size town of about 200,000 people in the United States. Your bakery will be 100% organic. It will be the first organic bakery in town. You will be offering organic as well as gluten-free bread, bread-related ingredients, pies, muffins, doughnuts, and other types of dessert. Given that organic ingredients are more expensive; your prices are going to be about 20% higher than your competitors’ prices. You have limited resources and you cannot afford to spend a lot of money on traditional promotional methods. Instead, you need to utilize social media to create awareness among your target audience.
