Get Creative with Italian Ice Base
- 3 hours ago
- 3 min read
PICTURE THIS: You serve ice cream day in, day out to your adoring customers. Sometimes, they try one of your fancy flavor profiles, and sometimes they order just plain old vanilla. Maybe you are a savvy frozen dessert business owner and you added Italian Ice to your offerings to maximize your counter sales (and profit margin). Cones, dishes, sundaes, Italian Ice, gelati, milkshakes, novelties...populate your menu. But are you really capturing the thrill and excitement that makes a "trip to get ice cream" really memorable? The essence that makes YOUR business preferred over your competition?
In prior Blog articles, we discussed how to maximize and market your business. One of the key components is creative and Instagram-Ready desserts that create a sensation...unusual flavor profiles, sheer size, crazy colors and over-the-top toppings. Just like the advertising campaign for a popular shampoo many years ago - "tell a friend, and they'll tell two friends, and they'll tell two friends, and so on and so on...". Instead of paying for advertising, let Social Media elevate your identity in the marketplace. After all, nothing says "Wow...I need to go to THIS place for a cool frozen dessert experience" than posts by your happy customers enjoying your amazing creations!
Check out these ideas to boost your menu without braking the bank.
