Epiphany is a key time of year for bakeries and restaurants. The "galette des rois", a symbol of conviviality and tradition, attracts a large number of customers.
The creation of customized ceramic "fèves galette" can be one of the ways to energize your establishment.
Much more than an object hidden in the galette, the customized ceramic "fève" is now a communication tool, a positive point for your brand image and creating buzz around it.

The personalized bean, the differentiating surprise

Offering a personalized galette bean sets your establishment apart. Each model becomes a unique object that reflects the identity of your establishment.

The bean then becomes :

a souvenir,
a collector's item,
a representative of your brand image.

Ceramic is the material traditionally used for galette beans. It offers many advantages for professionals. Designed to last, it can be stored or displayed for many years. By integrating your logo, you can turn the bean into a discreet, long-lasting promotional item, far more effective than an ephemeral communication medium.

The bean as a loyalty tool

Consumers, especially families, appreciate collectibles. By creating a collection of customized beans, you naturally encourage your customers to come back several times during the Epiphany period.

Each galette becomes a new opportunity to discover a different model, reinforcing loyalty and frequency of purchase.

Thanks to the customized bean, you can easily create :

contests ("find the special bean"),
limited editions,
annual collections,
local partnerships.

These actions are particularly effective for boosting your communication, both at point of sale and on social networks.

How to make your own bean?

Calling on a manufacturer of personalized ceramic beans gives you great creative freedom.

A fully customized shape

Ceramics can be used to create a variety of detailed shapes, such as :

your logo,
a mascot,
an object emblematic of your business,
a regional or culinary symbol.

Each bean is designed to fit perfectly into a galette while remaining visually attractive. If your logo is on the bean, it's best if it's in one color so it's clearly visible.

A little extra with the creation of a collection

Creating a bespoke ceramic bean collection is a great way to create engagement.

Some ideas for themes:

animals,
desserts,
french traditions,
children's world,
monuments or local symbols,
brand mascots.

Each model becomes a collector's item, reinforcing the attachment to your establishment.
