3 Rainy Season Negosyo Tips for Your Bakery and Cafes and Baked Goods
During the rainy season, bakers face three major challenges: flour storage, sales opportunity, and marketing needs. As your flour partner, PFMC shares tips and recommendations for bakers this rainy season!
1.Properly Store Flour to avoid Unnecessary Moisture
During the rainy season, flour naturally absorbs moisture from the air, which can affect dough consistency, recipe performance, product texture, and shelf life. Bakers may notice changes in dough handling, bread quality, and inconsistent results between batches. Finished products may also become softer, lose their intended texture, or spoil more quickly when exposed to increased moisture. Here are 3 tips to help with this:
● Store flour and dry ingredients in sealed containers, with storage areas kept cool and dry whenever possible.
● Monitor recipe outcomes with more attention and make adjustments when needed.
● Use packaging and storage that helps protect finished products from unnecessary moisture.
2. Add “Rainy Day” Menu for this Bed Weather Season
Rainy weather creates demand for warm, comforting, and convenient food options. The feeling of comfort often signals hot drinks and sharing warmth with loved ones and friends. To utilize this seasonal opportunity, bakeries can try the following tips:
- Create warm options or variants of pastries readily available, perfect for breakfast, merienda, or even light meals.
- Create bundle deals ideal for families or group merienda with appropriate marketing to signal the feeling.
Promote seasonal combos that highlight comfort and convenience, such as creating enticing combos of baked goods with coffee or other hot beverages to increase sales through add-ons
3. Be More Present Online
During the rainy season, Filipinos tend to stay at home. But their cravings remain the same. Meet your customers where they are by strengthening your online presence and offering more convenient ordering options.
Consider the following:
● Accept orders via Facebook Messenger or Viber
● Offer advance ordering with in-store pickup options
● Partner with delivery platforms to improve visibility and reach
