For bakers and party planners, this new movie will present a great opportunity to showcase your creativity and potentially attract new customers. By incorporating elements from the new Barbie movie into your designs or highlighting previous Barbie themed creations, you can stay on-trend and offer clients the perfect solution to meet their “Barbie-loving” party needs.
Here are a few tips to help prepare for an increase in Barbie-themed orders:
Start planning early: With the release of the new Barbie movie around the corner, it's never too early to start thinking about how you can incorporate the theme into your designs. Consider offering special promotions or packages that feature Barbie-themed elements to attract new customers.
Stay on top of the latest trends: Keep an eye on social media (i.e. Instagram and Pinterest) for inspiration and new ideas. Consider starting a Barbie inspiration conversation in your online cake or party planning groups to network and learn from others in the industry.
Organize your supplies: Take inventory of your existing Barbie-themed baking supplies, decor and tools. Make sure they are well-organized and easily accessible. This will save time and reduce stress when it comes time to fulfill orders.
Create and share Pinterest boards: Use social media to showcase your work and generate buzz around your previous Barbie-themed creations. Create a Pinterest board featuring your best Barbie-themed cakes, cupcakes, and decorations. Then share this content with your followers.
Highlight your previous work: Consider creating a blog post or social media album that showcases your previous Barbie-themed creations. This will give potential customers a sense of your style and help them envision what you can create for their event.
Offer a variety of options: While Barbie-themed cakes are always popular, don't forget about other party supplies like cupcakes, cookies, and decorations. Offer a range of solutions to appeal to different tastes and budgets.
Showcase your creativity: With so many options available for Barbie-themed designs, don't be afraid to get creative and try something new. Incorporate elements from the new movie or put your own spin on classic designs to stand out from the competition.
