90-day online marketing plan
Crumbly Lane Cookies
Crumbly Lane Cookies will fill its baking calendar by making every cookie box, party order and office gift easy to find, easy to order online and easy to order again.
More online orders or bookings · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Build an order page for each kind of cookie order, asking for the date, the number wanted, the delivery address and any allergens, so a buyer can ask for a box in one go.
Show finished work everywhere, because decorated cookies sell on sight, and photograph each set before it leaves the kitchen.
Reach the people who order for others, such as office managers, party hosts and planners, while their dates are still weeks away.

Your channels, in order
Website and Google search Medium effort · Low cost
People who want cookies for a date search for the exact thing they need, so a separate order page for each kind gives Google a clear match.
- Make pages for cookie gift boxes, custom decorated cookies, party and wedding favours and corporate cookie gifts, named after the searches listed above.
- Put one order form on every page that asks for the date, quantity, delivery or collection and allergens.
- State your lead times, delivery area and allergen information on pages of their own.
Google Business Profile Low effort · Free
It puts the bakery on the map for cookie delivery near me and can show a delivery area without showing a home address.
- Choose a bakery category, set a service area and add your hours for orders and collections.
- Upload photos of gift boxes, iced sets and the packed order, and add each box as a product.
- Ask every customer for a review by text, and reply to each one.
Instagram Medium effort · Free
Iced cookies are made to be photographed, and a reel of a design coming together sends viewers to the order page.
- Film each set from plain bake to finished design in a few clips, and post it with a link to the order page.
- Photograph every order on the same plain background before it is packed.
- Answer every comment and message with the next step, such as the date and quantity.
Facebook Medium effort · Low cost
Parents, hosts and neighbours ask in local groups who bakes party cookies, and a business page lets them see your work and message you.
- Open a page that shows your delivery area, an order button and recent sets.
- Reply helpfully when someone asks for a cookie baker in a local group that allows it.
- Share each finished order with the customer's permission, leaving out names and addresses.
Offices, venues and planners High effort · Low cost
One office or planner can order again and again, and a box on a desk is the quickest way to show what you bake.
- List local offices, florists, venues and planners whose events suit your cookies.
- Send a small sample box with a one-page menu and your order link to a few of them each week.
- Follow up once by email a week later and ask who handles orders.
Email and WhatsApp reminders Low effort · Free
People who gave cookies once give them again each year, and a short reminder before the date brings the order back.
- Ask buyers, with permission, for an email address or WhatsApp number when they order.
- Message them a few weeks before the occasion they ordered for last time, with the order link.
What your website needs
- A home page that says cookies baked to order in its first line, with photos of boxes and iced sets and an order button.
- A cookie gift box page showing each box, what is in it, how it is packed and the last order day for delivery.
- A custom decorated cookies page with a gallery by occasion and a short form for the design brief.
- A corporate cookie gifts page with box sizes, logo cookies, delivery to reception and invoice details.
- A wedding favour cookies and baby shower cookies page explaining how far ahead to order and how to ask for a sample.
- An allergen information page listing what is in each bake and how to ask about a need.
- A delivery and collection page with your area, packing and what to do if a box arrives damaged.
