    262. Baking it Down - Using Video in Marketing

    Send us Fan Mail 🎥 Video Marketing - Using video in marketing. In this week's Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 262 - Using Video in Marketing, we spent today recording the sessions for the upcoming 2-day Cookie Videos Bootcamp that drops June 4 -5 (and there's still time to register, hint hint).  Videos are here, and whether we like it or not, we need to jump on the bandwagon. Because not having videos in your marketing umbrella leaves you wide open to the competition snagging those precious impressions.  Last week, we talked about funneling. Applied to Reels, a video funnel might look like a cookie decorating video (top of funnel = gets the most reach, converts the fewest buyers), a baking tips and tricks (middle of funnel = now you're only talking to bakers = great for sponsored content from bakery suppliers), and ending with how you set up a local in-person cookie class (bottom of funnel = hyper focused on a local audience who can convert into ticket sales). Funnels are a strategy to focus your content goals. Having broad content that appeals to a wide base will increase views. Having content that appeals to a medium-sized base will increase followers, and having content that tells people to sign up for something will increase sales. It's a healthy, full-spectrum approach to how you generate content. This way, you're not producing endless decorating videos, getting a ton of views, and not making a buck (outside of a few dollars from the creator fund).  Such is the focus of this back-to-basics bootcamp - understanding which stands and which content style will help you generate the videos that create the funnel content. Don't get me wrong - it's getting started, but it's also showing you different types of content styles. Recording overhead cookie videos? Yes, of course. But also getting you in front of a camera (*throws up in mouth*) is going to really push you and push your engagement up up up (yes - I hate this for both of us). Video is the flavor of the month (year) for the algos, so we must play their game. What worked 3 years ago doesn't work today, and what works today won't work tomorrow. Record. Record. Record. And if you're new to recording, you're going to love the bootcamp (details below). I sat through about 3 hours' worth of recorded content today with Twin2, and she's hitting right where you want to learn to get started recording, editing, and uploading on the right foot (stand?).  👂 Snag this podcast on any major podcast player (Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, Amazon Music, or watch it on YouTube) by searching for Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 262 - Using Video in Marketing.

    261. Baking it Down - Lawn Funnel

    Send us Fan Mail 🌾 Lawn Funnel - Understanding the marketing landscape. In this week's Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 261 - Lawn Funnel, Corrie really wanted to stick with the 🌱 landscaping analogy - so baby gets what she wants. The topic = funnels. The analogy = a lawn.  We use the buzzy word "funnels" a lot when we talk - acquisition funnel, conversion funnel, reengagement funnel, funnel cakes (wait... no) - lot'sa funnels. But what does "funnel" mean in marketing? 🔽 Think of a legit funnel - note how it starts off wide and tapers to a small point. This is the visual representation of how your marketing funnels work as well. 🔽🔽🔽  You cast a wide net by posting in a local Facebook group (top of funnel), 🔽🔽  then you make a post asking the same group to vote on a cookie class theme to teach (middle of funnel), 🔽  then you pitch them on signing up for said class (bottom of funnel).  In each layer of the funnel, you get fewer and fewer people until the final few click that sign-up button, 💲 and you've made a sale. This is by design. How your funnels are configured can be compared to how someone maintains their lawn. 🪴 Rotor-Sprinklers - Spray and Pray A lot of baker's marketing funnels start and stop here - which negates the funnel concept entirely, and you're left with a really wide tube that's letting your leads fall out immediately.  This is the type of content that should sit at the top of your funnel (TOFU) - it's your decorating videos or your baking tips and tricks. You know, that stuff that stops the scroll and tends to go more viral than your other content. This content should cast a wide net, but that net will likely catch more than just your target audience. Which is why we need to move from 🔽🔽🔽 TOFU (top of funnel) to 🔽🔽 MOFU (middle of funnel) to sift out our seed from our chaff. Views are cool, sales are cooler. 🪴 Drip Irrigation - Target Specifically This is watering the root system for specific needs in different areas of our lawn. 💦 Your veggie garden isn't going to need the same moisture strategy as that dead patch in the back. 💧 Targeting a specific plant with the specific amount of water that creates the environment for it to grow is key. Same with your audience. The lead you acquired from a cookie class is going to think it strange when you send an email saying, "THANKS FOR ATTENDING MY VENDOR SHOW." This is where list segmentation and distinct funnels really shine (like the sun... see, the plant analogy sticks). Here's a content funnel designed to get your audience to sign up for a cookie class: 🌿 TOFU - A Reel of you setting up a cookie class🌿 MOFU - A Reel of you telling people what they'll learn in class🌿 BOFU - A Reel of you telling people how to sign up for class🪴️ Fertilizer - Grow What's Growing Then we have the lush, beautiful lawn that's perfect and making the neighbors jealous. DO NOT forget to keep up with this lawn. The tendency of bakers to say, "They seem happy, let me tend to this dormant patch back here," and leave our green grass clients out to dry happens when we run out of time. And while both are necessary actions for a healthy lawn (audience), the returning clients are some of the cheapest to maintain because they're already happy, they don't mind your prices, and they know your workflow. 🪴️ Aeration - Reengage the Dormant Dormant patches of grass (cold leads or leads that haven't returned) can have their own dedicated funnels too - think of a reengagement funnel strategy that starts with a "We Miss You" email, followed by a newsletter about an upcoming product drop you'd like to give them first access to, then followed with a discount code (this would require an email drip software with an exit action - Flodesk do this). That's one way to see if we can aerate these dried-up leads or cut them loose. 👂 Snag this podcast on any major podcast player (Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, Amazon Music, or watch it on YouTube) by searching for Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 261 - Lawn Funnel.

    260. Baking it Down - Business Weeding

    Send us Fan Mail 🌱 Business Weeding - Stop bad behavior before it starts. In this week's Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 260 - Business Weeding, we wanted to talk about small behavioral problems that, when left to grow and get deeper roots, become big problems. Yes, Heather was weeding, and this is all she could think about. What happens is ya get started selling cookies, likely because it was a hobby, and randomly someone says, "Oh, can I place an order?!" Right here - it's right here when you need to start weeding out your own bad behavior. Trust me - we write from beyond the trenches dug in months and years of bad behavior reinforcement. Pruning the weeds when they're small will make for a business you're happy to tend to. 🪴 Social Media Commenting  You get in turf wars in local groups, go mud slinging in topic-focused groups, and laugh react at anyone you disagree with? Grab those pruning shears, because that's a bad behavior you've gotta cut off before it strangles your lead garden. In all seriousness, with the appreciation of Facebook groups through Meta, admins are given more and more transparency regarding group members, and as the search features get more dialed in with Facebook groups going public (versus private), your social search history will become more clear and present - a clear and present danger if you're used to rolling in the social mud. This is where a few of you will dig in your heels - specifically with political rhetoric. Listen - your cause would rather you donate the money from your cookie sales than have you win an argument in the comment section on an obscure thread in an obscure group on Facebook (pro-tip: you won't convince anyone of anything on Facebook). 🪴 Mishandling Order Intake When you're just getting started, there's no website, no forms, barely a Facebook page, and likely it's just your personal Instagram. This is par for the course - but allow us to speak from "The Great Beyond." Force people to place and order through a form - yes, even when you're just getting started (Google Forms is free). It's not if, it's when you forget an order when you don't take them through a single instake process like a form. 🪴️ Pricing to Make the Sale This will always lead to hurt feelings down the road, so eradicate it from the root now. Pricing low to snag the order will lead to clients who gravitate towards you due to your lower prices. But as your skills increase, so must your prices, and so will your clients, right? RIGHT?? Wrong - once we taste of "on sale," we rarely believe it's worth more (check out the JCPenney case study for proof). Price appropriately to your costs. Your labor costs will be lower because your skill set is, but pricing to be the lowest to beat out the older, more seasoned competition? Listen - there's a reason they ain't cheap.  🪴️ Friends and Family Discount Corrie is standing here with a shovel and a h-oe (not today, Zuck) telling you - DO NOT do friends and family the favor of undercharging without telling them this is a deal. What will happen is that they don't know your actual prices, and when you slap them down the road with sticker shock, they feel slighted. If you wanna do Auntie a solid, tell them they always get 15% off (or whatever you're comfortable with), that way your discount grows with your pricing versus a flat rate you may feel is unfair to you down the road of gainful experience.  👂 Snag this podcast on any major podcast player (Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, Amazon Music, or watch it on YouTube) by searching for Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 260 - Business Wedding.

    259. Baking it Down - Posting Every Day

    Send us Fan Mail 📅 Posting Every Day - To cut through & connect. In this week's Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 259 - Posting Every Day, Corrie has been testing out a 30-day strategy to cut through the noise of crowded AI-spun feeds to see if she can get the algo to swing in her direction and show more of her business page posts to her target demographic. In a world where anyone can get ChatGPT or Gemini or Claude to whip up copy that conforms to copy frameworks, uses perfect punctuation, and the right dash of emojis with a clear CTA - how can you stand out?  Corrie's placing all her chips (and posts) on red so her posts can get... well, read. ✍️ Content That Creates Engagement In her strategy, she's posting every day, testing from a series of content buckets or pillars that hit a few different targets in order to reach her audience. One of those buckets includes talking directly to her page followers - asking for opinions, taking polls, and asking for advice. Basically, she's trying to create a back-and-forth conversation. This equals engagement.  This is different than what most other business pages do - which is pretty much a constant string of "buy from me" sales posts. Don't worry - we'll add in the sale pitches in a minute. You'd be looking for 12 pieces of engaging content in a 30-day runtime following an 80/20 ratio. ✍️ Posting Content that Connects People love people, and letting people in allows your audience to connect with your business on a deeper level. But if you're shy, there's still a way to connect with your audience! Use the Main Street May Cookie Collab as a great way to connect your business (cookies) with your local Main Street and watch your audience run to comment that they love the place you featured.  If you were running this test for 30 days, 12 days should feature content that connects with your audience. ✍️ Posting Content that Converts And finally, we're a business, so we gotta sell. The 80/20 principle (Pareto Principle) is a great guide. If we're posting 30 days straight, 6 days need to feature pitches for your products - cookie classes, customs, a pop-up, a vendor market.  You can still mix and match strategies here - we don't want to have a great engagement strategy, then smack them with a "BUY MY STUFF" suddenly. You could say, "Hey - I'm thinking about teaching this or that cookie class kit next week, which set would you like to see me teach?" Strategies are different approaches to marketing and business - and they can run in long and short durations. If you feel stagnant in your posting strategy, this 30-day daily posting strategy can really give your page a solid dose of AI-detox defibrillation.  👂 Snag this podcast on any major podcast player (Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, Amazon Music, or watch it on YouTube) by searching for Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 259 - Posting Every Day.

    258. Baking it Down - Speaking For Clients, Not As

    Send us Fan Mail 🗣️ Speaking For Your Clients - And not speaking as your clients. In this week's Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 258 - Speaking For Your Clients, Not As, we focus on bakers' tendency to hyper-focus on their own experience and apply it to their clients. Except... we're not our clients. 🥣 We're not our clients so much so that we don't buy sugar cookies. We're so cheap, we figured out how to make them instead! 🧠 So it doesn't make a ton of sense to apply your method of thinking to your client's method of speaking.  ⛔🗣️ Stop speaking for your clients. Start speaking as your clients. Speaking for your clients can derail your business in a few different ways, but today we've focused on five.  🗣️ Wallet-Watching 🧠  Wallet-watching is thinking your customer won’t pay your prices because you wouldn’t pay them. Of course, you wouldn't pay them; you quite literally learned how to bake sugar cookies, so you didn't have to pay someone else. We speculate that "client speaking" thoughts come from a fear of rejection and a baker's attempt to get ahead of it. "If I lower my price, they won't say I'm too expensive and not worth the money."   In reality, the client came to you - they're interested in finding a way you can work with them and their budget. You and the client aren't the bad guys - the budget is! Now you two get to find a way to make it all work. 🗣️ Boredom-Betting 🧠  Boredom-betting is adding too many things to your menu because you THINK your customers will get bored with your best sellers. We often call this analysis paralysis, or basically adding so many options that our lizard brains think, "Oh man, what if I pick the wrong one? I won't buy anything at all."  🗣️  Social Sabotage We see this one pop up every cookie collab. "I'm not on Instagram because I don't make sales there." You're thinking for your customers when you skip out on a social media platform because you don't find yourself buying on it. You're thinking as your customers when you realize not everyone uses social media the same way you do. If you get a minute, listen to this week's podcast, Episode 258 - we have two more examples of thinking for versus thinking as your clients. 👂 Snag this podcast on any major podcast player (Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, Amazon Music, or watch it on YouTube) by searching for Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 258 - Speaking For Your Clients, Not As.

In this week's Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 257 - What Popped Off at What's Popping Con, Corrie and I just got back from this week's second-ever 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣 What's Popping Con - a cake pop convention by Daisy Makes (also a beloved Baking it Down podcast sponsor). Last year, 👥 we'd talked about marketing in community groups, so this year, "the twins" wanted to level up that concept to build a social media strategy brick by brick from the ground up. 🙏 Counter to the "spray and pray" method of posting whatever and hoping for the best, 🎯 a content strategy starts with a S-M-A-R-T goal, then uses that goal to figure out which of Meta's Insights Dashboard metrics you'll measure your results with. Our "cake-study" Cake Pop Kelly decides her SMART goal is to: 👉 Generate $500 more dollars (specific) 👉 In May 2026 (time-bound) 👉 Than she did in May 2025 (attainable) 👉 Using a Vendor Expo as well as custom orders 👉 (she'd need to sell 100 cake pops at $5/ea or acquire 7.5 custom orders at $66/dzn)From there, she needs to build her content strategy based on her chosen metrics using content buckets intersected with media types.  🔗 If you click on the webpage (https://www.sugarcookiemarketing.com/poppingagain), you can follow along with her plan step by step - even auditing Kelly's social media posts against her metrics.👂 Snag this podcast on any major podcast player (Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, Amazon Music, or watch it on YouTube) by searching for Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 257 - What Popped Off at What's Popping Con.

    256. Baking it Down - Nextcuses

    Send us Fan Mail 🤷 Nextcuses - How to get around your own excuses. In this week's Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 256 - Nextcuses, we wanted to talk about somethin' that crops up every month there's a Cookie Collab (Pipe a Park Collab is this Friday btw - oh, you won't be able to participate? Hold onto that thought.). We get it - 🥺 life is lifing, the kids are screaming, the clients are screaming louder than the kids, the spouse is upset, the in-laws are coming over, and you're about .002 seconds from crying in a Target aisle. 😭 Your excuses = valid. None of those things is a lie. But all of those things are costing you business. 💪 But you can re-pattern your excuses to be more honest, and thus, more useful in understanding how you and your business work together. ✨ The "Five-Minute Rule"  Most excuses are born from the fear of how long or difficult a task will be.  🖐️ Tell yourself you will do the task for only five minutes. So it's not, "I'll take the twins 8-hour bootcamp on in-person cookie classes," but instead it's, "I'll start watching the Bootcamp for just 5 minutes." ✅ Why it works: The hardest part of any task is the transition from "doing nothing" to "doing something." Once the seal is broken, the excuse of being "too tired" or "too busy" usually fades because you’ve already started. 🏋🏽🔥💪🏼🎧 I do this with the gym (my most hated place on earth). "I'm allowed to just drive to the gym, walk in, and leave" becomes, "Okay, find - I'll do a few exercises." We're literally tricking our brains into being productive-ish. And productive-ish is better than production-less. ✨ Practice "If-Then" Planning  Excuses thrive with obstacles. The minute that gym parking lot is too packed? 🏎️💨 Ya girl hitting the gas right back home. And while it feels good in that minute (trust me - there is no higher high), I still didn't get my exercise in, and it'll cost me my cortisol, good sleep, and a healthy body. The solution - if-then approach to obstacles. "If the gym is packed, I'll go for a long walk." 📸 And "If I run out of time to record a Reel for Instagram, I'll post a photo instead." ✅  Formula: "If [Obstacle] happens, then I will [Action]."✅  Example: "If I feel too tired to work on that set after dinner, then I will set a timer for 10 minutes and just do the easiest task on my list." ✨ Rephrase Your Language This is my favorite one (probably because I'm most guilty of it). Excuses are masked as "can't." "I can't do the collab, "I can't record that Reel," "I can't make a website because..." This takes the power from you and puts it on the reason (whatever comes after the "because). It makes things appear out of your control. Switch to "don't" or "choose not to" to take that power. ❌ Instead of: "I can't do the Pipe a Park collab because I recovering."✅ Try: "I am choosing not to participate in the Pipe a Park collab. I'm tired from a recent surgery, and I don't feel like it right now."Why this works: Taking ownership of the choice you make helps you realize you are in control. If you don't like the way the "choice" feels, you are more likely to change the behavior. 🤔 You may think, "Well, I am recovering, but going for a walk might be a nice experience, and I have a frozen cookie I could thaw."  In this podcast, we cover 2 more approaches to turn your excuses into next-cuses. Tune in to learn about "frictionless starts" and "pay-off audits."  👂 Snag this podcast on any major podcast player (Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, Amazon Music, or watch it on YouTube) by searching for Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 256 - N

    255. Baking it Down - Pre-Sales Bootcamp Recap

    Send us Fan Mail 💲 Pre-Sales Recap - What we learned in the bootcamp. In this week's Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 255 - Bootcamp Recap, we recapped the Bootcamp on Pre-Sales. No, this isn't a sales pitch, but the cool part about the bootcamps is the private Bootcamp Facebook group dedicated to that month's focus topic. Since the Bootcamp group, well, boots everyone when the Bootcamp finishes, the people who join are 100% there to get their learnin' on. So the answers to the group polls and prompts can be pretty telling when it comes to the pre-sale (pre-order?) industry as a whole. 🪖 Pre-Sale or Pre-Order? We asked "recruits" what they call a pre-sale to their clients. Outside of the baking industry, I'm not sure 'pre-sale' is a well-known term. Pre-order, however, has been widely adopted when it comes to product drops like merch. (Remember when I woke up at 6 AM to go to a Target in another state to snag the Diet Coke Owala drop??). Overwhelmingly, bakers agree - pre-order was used by 79% of bakers polled in the Bootcamp. 🪖 Pick-Up Days Not all pick-up days are created equally, and there's the nuance of getting as close as you can to the holiday the pre-sale is centered around, while also making it an ideal day for your audience (and bakers... who wants to really be glued to your doorbell on a beautiful Saturday?). We had two close calls, but Friday won at 44% of bakers choosing it as the optimal date for pre-sale pick-ups, followed by Saturdays at 38%. Interestingly, Thursdays came in third place, and Monday and Tuesday tied for last. 🪖 Repeat Pre-Seller I found this one interesting - who wanted to register for the Bootcamp? Seasoned pros? Newbs trying to figure out how to plan it all? Turned out it was mostly bakers who had already hosted a presale - 80% of Bootcampers had replied with "yes" when asked if they had hosted a pre-sale before. And I think I know why. Often, pre-sales can't be a "one hit wonder," so bakers try it, it flops, they swear off pre-sales ever again, but that thought in the back of their mind that they're leaving good money on the table lingers.  Pre-sales are unique and require repetition to train our audience to understand how they work. Such would be that the first few pre-sales would be flops - your audience is still in the learning phase. 🪖  Schooled on Pre-Sales The next big pre-sale theme is school-related. May and June are chock-full of teacher appreciation, graduation, the last day of school, etc. So, which did bakers say gets the most bang for their pre-sale buck? Teacher Appreciation was voted by 72% of bakers as the best seller when it comes to school-related pre-sales.  In this podcast, we also read "enlistees" one tip they'd give about pre-sales, along with having Corrie recap what went right and wrong in her own Easter Pre-Sale Pickup this past Friday.  👂 Snag this podcast on any major podcast player (Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, Amazon Music, or watch it on YouTube) by searching for Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 255 - Pre-Sales Recap.
