Taking The Cheesecake Factory Bakery® from Canada to Europe.

Coveted Cakes Corp is the Canadian master distributor of The Cheesecake Factory Bakery® and The Cheesecake Factory At Home™. Their goal was ambitious: open new international markets and become a trusted B2B supplier across Europe. We built the website, the international SEO and the email program to get them there.

The brief

“Become the trusted gateway for European buyers who want the world-famous Cheesecake Factory taste on their menus.”

Selling a world-famous dessert brand to consumers is one thing. Selling it wholesale, across borders, to hotels, restaurants and foodservice franchises is another. Buyers in Europe needed to find Coveted Cakes, trust them as the official source, and have a clear way to start an order or partnership.

What made it hard

  1. Several markets at once.Buyers search differently in Germany, Russia and other European countries.
  2. High-trust B2B buying.Volume buyers want proof that a supplier is official, reliable and easy to work with.
  3. A long sales cycle.Interest had to be nurtured into distributor and partnership agreements.

The opportunity

One Canadian distributor. A continent of buyers.

We mapped who buys premium desserts wholesale in Europe and what they search for, then built the site, content and campaigns around three buyer groups.

  • HotelsBanquets, room service and breakfast buffets
  • RestaurantsDessert menus that need a recognizable name
  • Foodservice franchisesConsistent supply across many locations

What we built

Three workstreams, one growth engine.

Lessons

What food & beverage brands can take from this.

01

Treat each country as its own market

Buyers in Germany don’t search like buyers in Canada. Research keywords and buyer needs market by market before you build pages.

02

Lead with trust, not just product

B2B buyers need to know you are the official, reliable source. Make distributor status, brand assets and process obvious.

03

Pair SEO with email

Search brings buyers in; email keeps them warm through a long decision. Together they turn traffic into signed partners.
