BAKER PARTNERSHIP

Food Entrepreneurship Reimagined

60% of Food Brands die within a year.

80% of Food Brands die within 5 years.

The traditional way of growing food brand is challenging due to high overhead costs, intense market competition, and the need for substantial marketing and distribution efforts.

We need a better way to grow food brands.

CURRENT FOOD ECOSYSTEM

  • Poom allows bakers to interact with customers face-to-face, building stronger customer relationships than the often impersonal connections formed via social media.

    Effective Social Media promo requires $1200/month on AD spend.

  • Etsy is predominantly used for shipping products, which can be impractical for baked goods. Poom focuses on the local market, offering fresh products directly to consumers.

  • Farmer's markets are often seasonal and subject to weather conditions. Poom provides indoor, year-round location for sales.

    $175 - $275 rental per day

    • Labor Intensive

    • Competitive Application Process

  • Starting a traditional bakery involves significant capital investment and ongoing operational costs. Poom's shared model drastically reduces these financial barriers.

    EXPANSIVE

    • $10K - $80K / month Rent in Manhattan

    • $750K - $2M Construction Cost

    • $15K - $25K / month Operational Cost

    • 5 - 10 year lease minimum

WHY POOM?

1. Lower Startup and Operational Costs:

Reduces financial barriers by sharing resources and space, making it more affordable than a traditional bakery setup.


2. Direct Customer Interaction and Market Focus:

Allows face-to-face engagement with customers in a local market, which is important for building brand loyalty and receiving direct feedback, unlike online platforms.


3. Community and Networking:

Provides a collaborative community environment, allowing bakers to share experiences, learn from each other, and potentially form partnerships.


4. Increased Flexibility and Growth Opportunities:

Offers the flexibility to adjust business size and operations according to market needs, and provides a platform for testing products and scaling the business in a manageable way.

5. Exclusivity:

Poom manages the bakery lineup to avoid overlap among bakers to minimize competition and maximize diversity. Poom prioritizes contacting members bakers to purchase additional baked goods at wholesale prices for the catering and corporate events.

“Poom transformed my passion for baking into a thriving business. The face-to-face customer interactions have helped me understand my market better and create products that truly resonate with my community.”

Show your brand.

Make it shine.
