A Friendly Bread

Thank you to Food Business News for following our progress in moving to a new facility. We are excited about the opportunity to co-locate our production facility with our cold storage, as well as to serve as a resource to other businesses that need cold storage.

Thanks Baltimore Business Journal for covering our move to a new facility. We are currently accepting customers for cold storage (refrigerated and frozen), cross-docking and other pallet-based shipping-related needs. Though we are able to provide this service, we are still producing our product at B-More Kitchen. So no housewarming party yet. Baby steps to our next phase!

Frozen food brands in the mid-Atlantic: we have taken over the lease on a facility in Baltimore that boasts 5,000 square feet of frozen storage, and we'd like to serve as a resource for fellow frozen brands. We have a loading dock and can receive, pick and pack freight for you. Competitive rates as well (talk to me about a discount for the first month). Please get in touch so we can fill that freezer! Refrigerator space (2,000 square feet) will be available as well in a month. I can be reached at [email protected]. #frozenstorage #freezer #coldstorage

Starting this month, A Friendly Bread is trying a new (yet completely traditional) way of reaching customers for our frozen Sourdough Grilled Cheese. I observed that older adults (often single or windowed) are a core demographic - both to feed themselves and to stock up for their grandkids. So I pinpointed some areas with 1) a density of stores carrying our product, and 2) retirement communities with robust print newsletters, and placed ads in those newsletters. These retirement communities have large readership (5,000 or more), and I want to see if these ads help me increase sales in these specific store locations. If it works in the three communities where I am trying this, I will expand the campaign. I just don't think these target customers are going to watch my IG reels - but I do think they are reading about their friends' Philosophy Club (pg. 16) or the building wing coordinator on their floor (pg. 43). So my ad on pg. 36 may do the trick. Stay tuned to see if it works! Thanks Lauren Rauseo for putting the ad together - Lauren worked with me as the designer 10 years ago when I created and edited the newsletter for a community of older adults that I organized myself when I worked in the non-profit sector. Nothing new under the sun. https://lnkd.in/eEH5E4zC
