5 Opportunities Waiting

Follow-up automation +£3-5K/yr
Every enquiry, every past customer, every abandoned booking — currently goes cold. No chase emails, no rebooking offers, no re-engagement. Your VA asked about this — the answer was “today there are no followups in place.”
The unlock: Someone enquires → they get nurtured automatically. Someone attends → they get invited back. Set once, runs forever.
Weekday studio — 30 empty hours +£50K+
Hibiscus Studio is available 10am-4pm, Monday to Friday. Zero sessions run. That’s your biggest unlock — not working harder on Saturdays, but filling the days that are already free.
The unlock: Ganache 1-2-1s on weekdays (£350-900/session, high margin, your schedule). Corporate outreach (10 companies, 1 booking = £1,500). Studio hire to other bakers — you don’t even need to be there.
Pricing room — below market rate +£7.2K/yr
You said it yourself: “I’m not making much profit with it being so low.” Bento at £45-50 when One Cake Street charges £65. The 5-star reviews justify a higher price. The experience justifies it. Every £5 increase across 12 students and 36 Saturdays = £2,160 more.
The unlock: Step increases over 3 months. £50 → £55 → £60 → £65. Plus ClassBento (£69 bento, £99 premium) and Obby are already listing you at higher prices.
No digital products yet +£3-5K/yr
You want to target America. You want to reduce physical labour. There’s nothing someone in the US can buy from you right now. Zero digital products, zero recurring revenue from content.
The unlock: Start with a workshop checklist + resource vault (£19-29). Build once, sell forever. This is your conversation starter for the US market — “she’s got these things and this.”
Everything depends on you being there Fragility
Until May when the freelancer joins, if you can’t teach — nothing happens. Your “neuro spicy brain” needs 2 weeks off every 6. That’s 16 weeks/year with no income if nothing else is generating.
The unlock: Revenue streams that don’t need you in the room. Studio hire (baker runs their own class). Digital products (sell while you sleep). Ganache 1-2-1s when YOU have energy, not on a fixed schedule.
