Organic Bakery Marketing Plan

Orti's Organic Bakery

Marketing Vision

Orti's Organic Bakery is built around the belief that eating a healthy, organic breakfast can have a significant impact on a person's health and attitude, as well as the environment. Orti's also believes that customers can have great tasting organic baked goods if the right attention is paid to sourcing, recipes, and consistency.

Orti's Organic Bakery will launch a first location at Union Station in, in Wilder, to serve commuters and build a local brand which can be leveraged into additional locations in the coming years. Orti's will build a following through advertising, referral marketing, and a loyalty program.

This marketing plan will allow Orti Franklin, the owner, to focus his marketing efforts by taking the long view, and looking for results on a daily and weekly basis to see that the chosen tactics are successful.
