    Hello,

    One of my friends, Scott Moriarty referred you to get in touch to see if you can help us on writing service for our new restaurant website as well as menu romancing.

    I am in need of help creating site content that are clear, concise, personable or conversational, scannable and free of “marketing-ese”

    If you can help us on the above service, I would like to know your pricing for your service. (ex. hourly rate..etc)

    Thank you for your attention and look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Regards,
    Jay

    Hi Cassandra,
    We’re a new cafe that opened 9 months ago. We decided to open in an area of east van because we saw some promise but also saw that it could use some help in its growth. From your blog I can see that you’re definitely up to date with Vancouver needs and desires. We would love to explain a little bit more about our business and see perhaps you have some suggestions on how to bring people to our ‘hood. there are quite a few businesses not just our own that definitely fly under the radar because of the location.

    Baker’s Market in Vancouver

    If you have a “sweet tooth”, the Baker’s Market in Vancouver is the place for you.
    We are currently seeking enthusiastic, talented budding, professional or home bakers specializing in freshly baked gourmet cookies,

    hand made chocolates, brownies, cupcakes, cake pops, scones, organic muffins, gluten-free, vegan baked goods, preserves, tarts, granola, fondant cupcake toppers and much more!

    The Baker’s Market is a gathering of professional, amateur, student & Mommy bakers who get together to buy and sell their baked goods to the community. Inspired by farmers markets (no veggies please), just lots of sweet & savoury baked goodies.

    WHERE: Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre, 7646 Prince Albert Street, (2 blocks east of Fraser St. at East 60th), Vancouver, BC V5X 3Z4.

    The Baker’s Market takes place indoors with lots of free parking too.

    WHEN: Saturdays, March 30 – May 4, 2013 11 am – 3 pm.

    WHY: Support your local, talented & creative bakers, who love to bake for customers like you! So many bakers have their own specialties…they bake their goodies and give it away to their family, friends and co-workers, who eventually will get spoiled and tired of eating their treats…so why not share it with the community?

    If you would like to be a vendor at the Baker’s Market, please see http://www.bakersmarket.com to sign-up. Hurry, just a few tables left.
