Facebook giveaway ideas for bakeries

1. Holiday pre-order kickoff

   Open pie and cookie-tray pre-orders with a Page post and a giveaway on the same post: comment your family's must-have dessert. One commenter gets their holiday order free. Locals on Facebook plan holidays weeks ahead.

2. School fundraiser shout-out

   Ask followers to comment the school or team they'd love you to sponsor a bake sale for. Draw one comment and donate two dozen cookies to that group. Parents share these posts on their own, without you asking.

3. Grandma's recipe memories

   Post a photo of an old-fashioned bake and ask people to comment the recipe their grandma was famous for. Facebook's older crowd writes long, warm comments, which makes the thread a pleasure to scroll.

4. Weekend market Event

   If you sell at a farmers market, create an Event for your stall and run the giveaway in the Event post. Commenters are entered and the winner picks up the prize box at the market that weekend.

5. Local Group cake of the month

   In a community Group where promos are allowed, post your cake of the month and let members comment the flavor they want next. Check the Group's rules and ask the admin first.

Swap in your own name, prize and end time. Entry is simple: comment on the post on your Page.

Holiday pre-orders are open at Crumb & Co. Bakery! 🥧 To celebrate, one person who comments with their family's must-have holiday dessert gets their whole order free (up to $75). Drawing Nov 10 at noon CT. US residents 18+, pickup in store. No purchase necessary. Not sponsored, endorsed or administered by Facebook.

Pick something that brings the winner back through your door, not just a gift card.

• A custom birthday cake for up to 20 people (about $80 retail)
• A dozen pastries every Saturday for a month (about $50 at cost)
• A sourdough starter, a banneton and a printed recipe card (about $35)
• A two-hour cookie decorating class for two (about $90 retail)
• Your name on a new bake for a week, plus the first tray free
• A holiday pie pre-order with guaranteed pickup (about $30)

1. Post from your Page, not your profile

   Use your business Page, a Group you run or an Event. Personal profiles can't administer promotions, and Page posts can be boosted if you want reach.

2. Make the comment the whole entry

   Ask one easy question and count every answer. Never require a share or a friend tag, and never give extra entries for them.

3. Switch to All comments

   Most relevant hides some comments. Switch the filter before you copy, or people get left out.

4. Announce in the same post

   Paste into the Facebook comment picker, draw, then edit the post with the winner and results link.

• Perishable prizes need a pickup window.
• Ask cake winners about allergies before you bake.
• Ship only shelf-stable items, never fresh bakes.
• Schedule holiday prize dates for slow January.

• Meta's Pages terms allow promotions on Pages, Groups and Events, never administered through personal timelines.
• "Share on your timeline" or "tag your friends" can't be an entry or earn extra entries.
• Entrants release Facebook, and you state it isn't sponsoring, endorsing or administering the giveaway.

A collab doubles the audience for the same prize budget. For bakeries, good partners are the coffee shop that stocks your croissants, a local florist, a kids' party venue. Each of you posts, and entries from both posts go into one draw.
