How Lalamove, Moved Me!

Doing business is something that really requires hardwork.
From buying  ingredients, preparing the mixtures ready for baking, putting them on the oven, up to totally waits until everything is baked already!
But wait there's more, there's another leg work that should be taken seriously and that is the...delivery part.
Before, our practice @letstalkaboutsweets
"We value taste and design" is to handle the delivery by ourselves.
But I think it's a primitive practice nowadays because there are so many trusted freight and cargo deliveries today.
And the good news is one of them is Lalamove!

It was just this very month, December that I started downloading the App.
We have a delivery situation located in Mandaluyong.
I started booking 22nd of December at noon.
Right then and there upon looking for a motorcycle, I received one call from the courier.

I was told about his location somewhere in the 10th Avenue in Caloocan, while I was booking from Navotas.
Though, the courier has a problem locating my destination, cited a reason that it was his first time going to the city.
He was so polite. The very reason, I extended my patience.
The courier got lost at the moment because he said he went to a shortcut but couldn't answer where he was exactly.
I think it took us almost an hour before he found my exact location.
What he did was called me via his earphone and started giving him exact location and some famous landmarks.
I think about an hour or less, the courier texted me that he was able to deliver the baked items on the location I gave him.
Plus a friend whom I sent the items, also confirmed that it was successfully received and delivered.

Since I and my wife were very delighted with the outcome...a few days after, 28th of December we booked for Lala Move again.

This time, our location was just somewhere in Quezon City, along with a famous church landmark.

The only changes that I noticed was the courier do not call me. But I monitored his location it's moving and I can also track the estimated number of minutes about his whereabouts.

This time, our client, who was a also a friend of mine ordered for our 10 pcs of Banana Loaves.

After an hour, I personally checked from a friend if it was delivered on her, she said it was successfully received.
Though, I am expecting a text coming from a courier...which he promised to do, I just looked for ways how to confirm it.

The other problem I have seen was booking at the desired location where I was with.
Since, it couldn't trace me. I just resolved this by looking at a very near and familiar landmark.
I just exerted an effort to really went out my way, about 1 block in order for the courier to locate me.

But the whole service was very dependable. After our two transactions, we called for Lala Move again.

Lalamove is a Hong Kong based freight and cargo delivery that started operating in the Philippines, 1st of November 2016.

Surprised also with other services they're providing right now.

It all began with an information invitation sent by a very good friend Iaree, asking @letstalkaboutsweets to try sending an email @KapeKing to be featured as pastry of the month.
Honestly speaking, we fear that the idea won't work for us. For one, it requires and it demands @letstalkaboutsweets to deliver fresh pastries everyday during weekdays.
But we will never get to harvest the fruit of our labors on a daily basis.
Secondly, we are also afraid that we will be making a good sale.
Not because we are not confident on our brand but I guess these things are pretty normal to feel.
We sent our desire to join last week of August and they replied back with a goodnews that we are chosen on the 25th of September 2019.

An email received from @KapeKing an invitation confirmation as chosen pastry of the month
25th of September 2019

@letstalkaboutsweets communicated personally to the operations manager Mr. Erick Macasaet of @KapeKing.
Two days after we met personally at the ABS-CBN The Loop Foodcourt in Quezon City and discussed other details if ever we will be approving the invites proposal.
But @letstalkaboutsweets felt the sincerety and the very welcoming idea they wanted us to accept...we embraced the idea and the rest is history!

@letstalkaboutsweets gathered all the finacial resources needed before we officially began selling our sweets on @KapeKing's kioks. We began allowing prospective buyers to finally tastes our pastries on the 2nd of October 2019.

On our very first week we started selling Banana Loaf Mini and a few big sizes, everyone's favorite Brownies, dozen of Chocolate Cupcakes, Revel Bars, and Deep Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies and at the latter week, introduced our version of Carrot Loaf.
These were approved sweets @Let'sTalkAboutSweets submitted to @KapeKing and also with permission to the ABS-CBN The Loop Foodcourt Admin.
The rule is to do not duplicate the products that they were selling to give other stores also the very opportunity to sell their goods the way we do.

We were delighted with the outcome of our sales. To maintain and even more encourage many prospective sweet buyers @letstalkaboutsweets improved our means of diplaying our goods.
At the beginning, we were just using a silver baking plates but eventually looked for white plates to even make the product noticeable and enticing too. Because we understand the idea that we have to be appealing all the time. And we wanted to create not just wants but needs to think of having desserts and choosing our brand over other competitors.
We had a great advice to lower price of the sweets. This suggestion is at first hard to do, because as a business entity we wanted also to earn income. But we were able to figure it out and still selling and having an income every week.

We also improved our sales and promotions by placing readable signages on every desserts plus we put labels on some products to constantly remind buyers that they are bringing sweets from @Let'sTalkAboutSweets!
And most importantly, a business card which will give every buyers a call to action, to contact us and make a transaction even not anymore in partnership with @KapeKing.

But we are very much honored and felt blessed for the very wonderful business opportunity.
The idea that was put into to market our sweets @KapeKing and also to support other small or established pastry owners was one brilliant idea!

We will be bringing a beautiful smile and a very unforgettable experience at home because we learned alot from this very tie-up.

May the @KapeKing bloom and grow more
so that it will continuously serve their customer's in their tagline...
"Everyone deserves a great tasting coffee!"

PRE-ORDER NOW!!! 😁

Let's talk about SWEETS!

I must say I and my wife happens to have a "Sweet Tooth," because we really love eating sweet foods.
But you know, this is not just the usual we love "eating sweets," we were more than that.
This will lead me to sharing to everyone that we recently thought of making a business out of it.

HOW EVERYTHING STARTED?

My wife's uncle gave her electric oven as a present.
The bottom line is it was a suggestion for her to do baking and consider it as another source of income.

FIRST BAKED RECIPE

I used to imagine a particular dessert named "Revel Bar," that we used to get from my wife's officemate who also baked and sell it.
I suggested that if ever...I want that to be her first baked recipe.
And so she did.
And it was indeed, very very successful!

Revel Bar

But since my wife was very eager to bake she did another research via the internet and by following instructions given...a new dessert was created.

MORE BAKED RECIPES

This made a way for what happens to be everyone's favorite..." Chocolate Chip Cookie!"

My wife did two versions of it...
the first one has Marshmallows which I learned from her, it was SMORES!

Chocolate Chip Cookie

But the one I liked the most was the plain Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Of course, I started to introduce this to every people whom I knew...love desserts.

I posted every picture of it on my social media sites, Facebook, and Instagram.

I also did the same thing with my wife.
And believe it or not...we have a positive feedback.

My wife and I started giving free taste to every interested people and friends we know...and they're now started ordering.

I don't know. But I think my wife really has a talent on baking desserts.
And from two recipes, comes another two new discoveries...
the fudgy "BROWNIE,"
AND,
the unforgetful "Crinkles!"

Crinkles

Both of us, are looking forward for more baked recipes.

And, since we think that if ever it prosper (which I never doubt to happen) I'd also like to learn it by myself.
