Cottage Bakery Coach: Selling Directly from your Front Porch

Hello and welcome! If you’ve ever dreamed of selling your homemade baked goods right from your own front porch, you’re in the right place. Picture this: “cookie cooler days” where your porch becomes the hub of irresistible treats, attracting customers like never before. I’ve experienced tremendous success with my self-serve porch sale days (or "cookie cooler days," as I call them) doing just that, and I’m here to help you achieve the same.

My name is Kristi Weideman and I own CRAVE Cookie Co., a thriving cottage bakery, in North Texas. Since adding cookie cooler days to my baking schedule, I’ve literally doubled – and sometimes tripled or quadrupled – my daily sales. Forget having to participate in large markets with overwhelming crowds; my front porch has become the hotspot for connecting with customers, and I consistently sell out of my creations.

Changing up your business model by introducing a porch sale concept can be overwhelming; the goal of this workshop is to help you think through options and create a plan that best suits your bakery business. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting, join me as we dive into the art of selling baked goods from home. From setting up your porch for maximum appeal to marketing strategies that draw in new customers, I’m here to help you elevate your baking game and turn your porch into a sought-after destination for treats!
