Location

Cady’s Cookies’ location is a prime spot for attracting the majority of residents in Topeka. The retail strip center is located in a highly-trafficked area of town where it will be surrounded by everyday shops, restaurants, salons, etc. This area of town is where most of the residents of Topeka go when needing any type of food or grocery service.

Social Media

Cady’s Cookies will use social media to advertise and reach the majority of residents of Topeka. Since it is the most cost effective option, Cady will use her marketing funds for Facebook and Instagram business ads and targeted marketing. She will frequently post pictures of her cookies, any specials she will be running, and specialty flavors for any upcoming holiday that she will feature. She will also post pictures of some of her gift boxes so that people can see that a box of cookies can make a great gift.

SEO Website Marketing

When a person types in “local cookies” or “Topeka cookies”, Cady’s Cookies will appear in the top three choices. The website will include the full menu of cookie flavors, location, hours, and lots of pictures of delicious cookies.

Third Party Delivery Sites
