About this episode

Caroline Bower discusses common marketing frustrations faced by sourdough microbakery owners and offers practical solutions for improving visibility and consistency in their marketing efforts.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most common frustrations I hear from sourdough micro bakery owners—feeling like your marketing just isn’t working and that you’re not being seen. If you’ve ever sat down to post and then talked yourself out of it because it didn’t feel “good enough” or “new enough,” you are not alone. I walk through what’s actually happening in those moments and why it’s not a creativity problem at all. Instead, it’s about how we’re approaching consistency and the pressure we put on ourselves to be clever, original, and perfect every single time we show up online. We talk about what really moves the needle in a local micro bakery business—simple, repeatable visibility that builds trust over time. I share a practical, sustainable approach to marketing that fits into real life, not one that requires constant reinvention. From understanding how customers actually consume your content to creating a simple weekly rhythm you can stick to, this episode will help you step out of overthinking and into a marketing flow that feels doable, effective, and aligned with the kind of business you’re trying to build.
