Business & Offer Analysis

Element	Finding
Product/Service	Made-to-order customised cakes (and likely cupcakes/desserts) designed around the customer's theme — birthdays, weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, corporate events
Price point	Mid-to-premium bespoke bakery. Typically $40–$100 for standard custom cakes, $150–$500+ for wedding/tiered work. Confirm actual range before launch
Target audience	Primary: women 25–45 (parents organising kids' birthdays, brides/grooms-to-be, party hosts) within 10–25km of the bakery. Secondary: event planners, office managers, corporate gifting buyers, husbands/partners buying surprise cakes
Primary USP	Fully customised design — the customer's theme, colours, flavour and budget, baked fresh to order — not a catalogue cake
Conversion action	Lead / enquiry — start a message (WhatsApp or Meta DM) or submit a quote form, then close the order in conversation. Secondary: direct order on signature cakes
Social proof available	Photo gallery of past cakes and repeat occasion customers. Real review count and 'cakes delivered' number should be pulled from the business and inserted before launch
Key objection	'Can they really make my exact design — and will it actually taste good?' plus uncertainty on price and how far in advance to book

Campaign Objective

Primary: Lead generation (enquiry messages) — this is a visual, high-consideration, made-to-order product. Nobody buys a custom cake from a cold ad impression; they start a conversation, send a reference image and ask a price. Optimise for messages/leads, not purchases.

Secondary: Conversions (direct orders) on fixed-price signature cakes and cupcake boxes — a low-friction entry offer that feeds buyers into the custom enquiry pipeline.

Platform Recommendation

Platform	Priority	Why	Budget %
Instagram + Facebook (Meta)	1	Cakes are inherently visual and shareable. Feed/Reels creative plus Click-to-Message ads match the natural 'DM to order' buying behaviour of this audience	50%
Google Search	2	Captures bottom-of-funnel intent — 'custom cake near me', 'birthday cake delivery' — where the buyer is ready to act today	30%
Meta Retargeting (Dynamic / gallery carousel)	3	Cheap incremental leads from people who viewed the site, watched a Reel or engaged but never messaged	12%
Pinterest / Google Performance Max	4	Pinterest is the number one inspiration source for birthday and wedding cakes; PMax sweeps up long-tail and display placements	8%

Top 3 Ad Angles

1. Your Design, Our Hands: The single strongest differentiator is customisation — the customer sends a theme or reference image and Royalsweets builds it, so the ad should sell 'your idea, made real', not 'a cake'.
2. The Cake People Photograph: Custom cakes are bought for the reaction they get. Framing the cake as the centrepiece guests talk about (and shoot for social) triggers the emotional reason people pay a premium.
3. Fresh, Never Frozen — Free Design Quote: Baked-to-order freshness plus a zero-risk free design quote and quote in 24 hours kills the two biggest objections: taste and price uncertainty.

Meta Audience Targeting Recommendations

Core audiences:

• Parents of children aged 1–10 (parents with birthdays) — the core repeat-purchase group for themed kids' birthday cakes
• Engaged / newly engaged (recently engaged 6–12 months) — wedding cake enquiries with high ticket values
• Baking, cake decorating, foodie and party-planning interests, plus followers of local wedding and event venues — captures hosts and planners

Custom audiences:

• Website visitors (30 days) — retargeting with the cake gallery carousel and free-quote offer
• Instagram/Facebook engagers (90 days) and video viewers (75%+) — warm audience for the urgency angle
• Email/WhatsApp list upload — nurture sequence before peak seasons (Christmas, New Year, Valentine's, local wedding season)

Lookalike audiences:

• 1% lookalike of people who messaged or submitted a quote form — highest quality, best for lead volume
• 2–5% lookalike of page engagers and website visitors — for scaling reach during high-demand periods
• Radius-based local lookalike (10–25km around the bakery) layered over interest targeting to keep spend on deliverable areas
