New mover postcards for bakeries and donut shops: a free cookie or donut for every new neighbor

A bakery is a weekend ritual for many families. Getting new neighbors in once is usually all it takes, because the smell and the display case do the rest.

With First Hello™, every household that moves in near your bakery gets a welcome card from you each month, with a free cookie or donut and nothing to buy.

New movers near your bakery

A little more than 1 in 9 Americans moved to a different home in 2024 (US Census Bureau). Enter your address to see how many households moved in last month within 1, 2 and 3 miles, or a ZIP Code to see it and the ZIP Codes around it.

Free offers that work for bakeries and donut shops

  • A free cookie or donut (our pick)
  • A free donut for everyone in the house
  • A free loaf of bread

Keep it truly free, with nothing to buy. It's the easiest yes for someone who has never heard of you.

Make the first visit count. Hand them your weekend specials or a box of samples on the way out, so they know what to come back for.

How it works

  1. Pick your distance and your free offer. Choose how far around your bakery to welcome people (1, 2 or 3 miles, or a few ZIP Codes) and what you'd like to give them.
  2. We design your card. A 6 × 11 postcard on thick 16pt card with your logo, photos, offer and address. You approve a proof before anything prints.
  3. Every month, we mail the new neighbors. Our list supplier gives us the households that moved in around you in the last month. We print, address and mail a card to each one.
  4. They bring the card in. Count the cards at the register and you know exactly how many new neighbors each month brought you.
