CakeAmerica - The Web's Local Cake Search Site Technorati Profile



CakeAmerica.com is a website dedicated to help web users find cakes and other baked products in their localities and empower the local cake businesses to promote and advertise their cakes on the web.

The heart of the website is its local cake search. It can find the cake items posted to the website as long as the words being searched exist in the cake’s name, description or promotional ad text and the cake provider is within the area specified. To search for cakes, users has to type any words related to the cake that they are searching for, specify the zip code, select the number of miles within the specified zip code and click the search button. Users may also search by city. When cake items are found, users may add the cakes into their cake list that can later be viewed or printed. Cake list information includes the contact details of the cake provider, cake name, and cake thumbnail picture.

The popular cake categories in CakeAmerica are birthday cakes, wedding cakes, anniversary cakes, graduation cakes, and unique custom cakes .

CakeAmerica is committed in helping local cake businesses promote and advertise their cakes. “CakeAmerica.com is the perfect local online advertising vehicle for cake providers of America to reach the cake lovers in their communities. It is the only website that lets local cake businesses create their own searchable cake web pages by just posting their business profiles, stores information, cakes pictures and cake information . I believe CakeAmerica will help home-based, start-up, small, medium cake businesses, and even big bakery chain businesses minimize their local online advertising expenses” said the founder of CakeAmerica.

CakeAmerica.com caters to small, medium and big cake or bakery businesses by offering two different types of subscription:
Basic subscription - is for local cake businesses with only one store (or one physical business location). This subscription is available for free
Premium subscription - is for cake businesses with multiple stores. This is a paid subscription with free trial period of 3 months.

Some of the neat features available to both basic and premium subscriptions are:
Cake price may be specified in different ways: (1) may have a fix price ; (2) may be specified as price per serving; (3) may be specified as a price range (4) or may be left blank.
Cake’s promotional ad text may be specified in the format such as “Buy One Get One Free”, “Save 50%”, or “25% Off”.

The key features of the Premium subscription are the capabilities to:
· create multiple cake ads - each cake ad may contain multiple cake items
· create “Work-In-Progress” (WIP) cake ads - cakes under “WIP” ads are not available for search and viewing which is helpful when ads are still being set-up and may need more future changes and polishing.
· set-up multiple stores
· link a common cake ad to multiple stores (If the business has 200 cake stores nationwide and have one common cake catalog, only one ad needs to be created. By just linking the stores to the same ad, cakes will be associated to all stores).

The website is available to web users and local cake businesses in USA.

The website’s slogan is “Bringing Cakes Closer To You”.
