The biggest social media challenges for a patisseries

⏰ No time

Running a patisseries is a full-time job. Social media slips down the priority list and the algorithm penalises inconsistency.

📸 Hard to come up with content ideas

The same menu, the same dishes every day. It's difficult to find a fresh angle for a post that will actually engage your followers.

📊 Not knowing what works

You post but don't know whether it's bringing in customers. No data means no decisions.
