Fix these first
Put the same name, photo, opening hours and street on Instagram and Facebook, so anyone who likes a post can find the door.
Photograph and film the day's bake in the same spot each morning, such as the tray beside the oven or the full counter, instead of saving pictures for special occasions.
End every post by saying when you are open and what to ask for, so a nice picture turns into a trip to the shop.
