@@realrayanmalik facts! He literally made more than half billion in sales with his company so he want to give knowledge back and he’s also a guy that looks long term that’s why he succeed big and he definitely don’t care about material 💩
Who doesn't like flashy materials? but the thing is if they invest in materials nobody would care if they die today. But people who give back to the community always stay in the hearts of people.
The main bakery for Krispy Kreme South Australia has a light out the front that says "Free Donuts". When the light is on (every day, usually around 6pm) you can get a free plain glazed donut. They scaled it back this year to "free donut with any purchase", but it's apparently affordable enough to give away free donuts every day of the year. The cost of those extra donuts is probably very low, as long as they don't take up shelf space.
krispy cream is the bane of my existence, i bought so many donuts over the 3 year i lived in australia, i think i could of bought at least 1000$ in shares at their company
Krispy Kreme nailed the marketing with that strategy. It's definitely lured me in a few times with that free donut light. Might be worth doing something similar at Cakeboy.
Boy does this sound familiar. I owned a kombucha brewery. Hardest part was it was so new to our community we had to educate everyone. There was room for business. We didn't do terrible but after starting the business we added 4 kids. My husband was a mechanical engineer and it was a lot of pressure when we knew he could go back into the workforce. Still miss it. Our customers miss us. It was a very seasonal product. We were making about $1000 in 4 hours at our local farmers markets but we were stretched thin for help and the season would dwindle. Best memories for us though. ❤
It sounds like you had an incredible journey with your kombucha brewery, and it’s clear you put a lot of heart into it. There was definitely a moment when kombucha drinks started really taking off, but you’re right-educating people about such a new product can be the hardest part. Balancing a growing family and a business must have been challenging, but it’s great to hear you created such memorable experiences and had a positive impact on your community. Thank you for sharing your story!
I like the transparency when it comes to things not working. Also epic editing mate, top shelf quality, somehow on the sweet spot between being too TV-like and too cheap phone vlog style.
Great video, really appreciate the fact you showed things not working too, most people would cut that out, appreciate the fact you've shown how hard it is, and well done to all of you on the hard work and making it through the other end. Would love more vids like this
I'd recommend them follow a Crumble Cookie model. Have them create a "viral" donut once a month to bring back returning customers. Maybe once a quarter do a "free donut day" for promo. They got this
Shout out to that couple, they stepped into an uncertain business swinging, stuck with each other, and are willingly to say yes to anything to see success. That is the winning formula in the long run, not giving up on each other and their business. Cheers.
As someone running their own indie game development business it's so interesting to see the overlaps and parallels between these different kinds of industries! I've also been going to a local cafe in Wayville called Flow Espresso for a while now and become good friends with the owner, and it's such an interesting experience seeing all of the challenges they need to overcome like hiring staff, optimizing the location, dealing with the landlords, and everything else that goes along with it.
The core issue isn't marketing-related; it's fundamentally about location. Your current placement in what appears to be a shopping center is problematic for a donut shop. Most people aren't willing to go out of their way for a donut, and those who do buy are likely making impulse purchases rather than being loyal, repeat customers. To address this, I'd strongly recommend relocating to a more strategic spot. Ideally, you want a location with high visibility and easy access, preferably with a drive-thru option.
It's not a shopping centre though, it's in an opened area space with several food choices, ample parking around and apartments nearby. I usually go there every couple weeks when they host trivia nights. It's a great space
Love this kind of content! I've always thought of the idea of creating our own "The Profit" inspired series, with our own clients. This video gave me tons of ideas! Keep uploading value!
I think the main takeaway from this is not to give up...when the first efforts failed many would have given up, but continuing on when others fail puts you ahead of the competition
Absolutely! Perseverance is key. Many give up after initial setbacks, but pushing through when others don’t can definitely set you apart and lead to success.
I don't mean to be negative here, but at the end when they said they want to do a cross between a donut and croissant and calling it a "Doughsant", I'm like come on, it's an old recipe and people call it Cronuts.
Just found your channel and I have to say, I'm quite impressed with the work you're doing out there. My hat's off to people who do the hard yards to get a new business off the ground.
Dear Davie, this type of content can make you viral not only on social platforms but also even in TV channels, go for it, you are nailing it, i even get tips for my medical tourism company!
Thank you for your encouragement! I’m thrilled to hear that you find the content impactful and that it’s even providing value for your medical tourism company. Your support means a lot, and we're excited about the possibilities ahead. 🙌
Hey Davie! Love your content, man! You're making a huge difference, and I really appreciate it. I have a home service business I'd love your help on. Two other TH-camrs featured my business, and those videos are in their top 10 most-watched. Thanks again brother!
Awesome! 🙏 You're showing that it's not a "luck" but you really have power to make a difference and grow your business. Maybe in future something with e-commerce with good product which cannot increase their sales after lots of effort (that's me 💀I have company which produces neon LED signs like cokeboy has in more innovative way but in Poland)
I like this guy's willingness to go out and try. One question that comes to mind though is how sustainable is this for businesses across the board? Not every business can be at the top when it comes to social media.
Social media success can vary, and not every business will go viral. However, even smaller, niche businesses can benefit from consistent, engaging content. It’s about finding what works for your audience and staying authentic. Sustainability often comes from building a community and fostering real connections.
The video was so amazing that I couldn't resist not commenting (actually this is my first one ever). Thumbs up for what you're doing and all the content you share, Davie! It so educational, captivating and nobel! I am really becoming a fan of yours. Keep up the amazing work! Greetings from Bulgaria.
The free giveaway method definitely works, I live in the city where sandwich sandwich is, and they had a huge queue around the block when they did an ice cream sandwich giveaway earlier this year.
It would be very interesting to see how long the increased sales lasts for versus how much money was spent on freebies. For such a low revenue potential business I can’t help but think they’ll struggle to pay off the costs the freebies before they need to do another big promo to get people back again. Also they need to on top of pastry trends. A croissant x donut was a trend already and it was called a Cronut. Rehashing an old trend and calling it something different likely won’t go down well with the ‘cool kids’ that they’re trying to appeal to.
Love this video. Appreciate you being transparent with the difficulties but also showing the success they had with the free Donut giveaway. They gotta keep up with the innovations and posts to sustain the growth. I'd love to see an update video with them in 6-12 months! I own a solo video business where I do shoots for local restaurants. Small food business have some of the most wonderful, heartfelt, amazing people running them. They're truly passionate about the stuff they make. I help them get a more views with the videos I make for them which translates to more sales. This video inspired me to bring up a viral video idea like what you did for this donut shop so I can help them be more successful!
Thanks for your thoughtful comment! I agree - keeping up with innovation and consistent content is key. It’s great to hear you’re helping out local restaurants! The hospitality industry can be brutal-especially right now. Best of luck with your viral video ideas; I’m sure it’ll make a big impact!
First video from the channel and I don’t see anything else like this on your channel, will you be doing more of these? I really enjoyed the whole company work and your aspect of life

Hey davie thanks for this type of content , Iam from India and 17 , my store just crossed 40K$ sales this months Iam doing monthly 8-16K sales started 3 months ago , thanks for inspiring us , and also i think due to your TH-cam channel is Australian that’s why its gets low reach but cause i had to do a lot of research to get to your channel and Iam Indian , so maybe to get a global audience you should Tgt for global , but the reality is also that real knowledge doesn’t get that much reach as flashy cars and planes gets those gurus sale courses and they fall for it may you achieve huge success you are looking for on TH-cam bigger than all those gurus 🎉❤
As a videographer who also helps create video content for business, this was really interesting to watch. I’d probably would’ve put in a different spin but cool seeing different ways of doing things
sooo goood ,, video my man , this shows you that even organic ads through social media can do alot especially tiktok also you can sacle your business so fast with planning and putting the work ,,,, I've written down alot of knowledge that i can implement in my business ..... 🙂🙂🙂
Absolutely! Organic views are a fantastic way to draw attention to your business, especially if you're looking to save on costs. Organic is still very powerful!
There is no difference between a vegan donut and a normal on except for a small amount of milk powder in the pre-made donut mix. Having had a million donuts, you'd be hard pressed to work out the difference.
@@geoffmerritt That may be the case but the word "vegan" can deter a lot of people and greatly reduce limit their demographic. Most people aren't going to know that its only a minute difference in ingredients that makes a donut vegan and might associate "vegan" with bland/fake/tasteless (because vegan food has been done so poorly by so many business's already). If they want to stick with a purely vegan product because of their ideals then that's ok, but having both vegan and non-vegan options would have been my first move to turn this business around.
@@DonJulio94 It's funny how people add bland/fake/tasteless "vegan food" to animal products to make them taste better... like salt, pepper and a lot of spices. You are correct though, there is a lot of ignorance out there when it comes to food that vegans eat. I would also add that selling "vegan food" at plant 4 is the norm, so they are not out of place there.
@@PsychoDude you need milk and eggs, i haqd vegan and actual real donut from the classic reciepe and trust me they taste cpmpletely different. imagine eating a croissant made with margarine, its discusting
Hi Davie Im a business owner in Lebanon we sell pine nuts direct to consumer from our processing plant, and I have been wondering how to scale it because the market is too small I was considering adding more products and going the retail route I would love to hear your opinion!
thank you for bringing the reality check for "going viral". It still needs hard work, not just a stroke of luck or a boost to any good looking videos online. Awesome story! Hope it made enough impact for Tom and Rae traction.
So they increased their revenue with direct labor. But I would've love to see you do a financial audit to decrease costs (var and fixed) as well as increasing revenue via indirect labor like online, pre orders, etc.
Really love this.......new subscriber, and **I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT** we all need to get behind Aussie businesses, supporting each other for a productive future! ❤
Incredible Video Davie, I'm very happy for them! At the end of the video, I saw that you're ok to help some struggling businesses in the comments! I’m facing a very high CPM (+$70) which makes me un-profitable even if my creative had %5 CTR and 5% Conversion Rate. I’ve been doing dropshipping 2 years now and now switched to E-commerce because of you! I thought I may get lower CPM if I had an original content shot for my branded product, I tested tons and tons of creatives (Images/UGCs) and all are having very high CPM. I’m about to give up the Ecom dream because of this cpm issue, I tried different pixels, ad accounts, and business accounts but that didn’t fix it. I hope you can respond with 1 sentence that can help me with this matter. Much thanks Davie, you’re my inspo!
Don't go on CPM go by the profitability and lifetime customer value. CPM is a vanity metrics people get so caught up in. My CPM is $100-$200. You can go broad, narrow, change to LLA, test more creatives, copy, video vs images. The most important part is trigger their desires if you 100% now that.. It does not matter about CPM as my CVR is insane, the AOV constantly improving. EVERY business is different every ad account every niche
The vegan donut is the issue, its not a viral feature. It cuts out 80% of people, a non vegan wouldnt eat a vegan version of something unhealthy when they do get the urge for a donut or bacon sandwich
How good! Love seeing people in little old Adelaide do well! What a man taking the time to help this couple! Next challenge for ya is to help a golf youtube channel out? 🙈😏😂😏
Hey Davie, been following you for years. Recently moved to Adelaide and noticed this shop is just around the corner from me. I have a product I am planning to start an ecommerce store for; however, there are a few legal grey areas surrounding it. I’m planning to incorporate my business in Dubai where it is legal to sell the products in question. However, as I plan to target the Australian market, I’m unsure if I’m still breaching any legal requirements. I previously created a 7 figure ecommerce store selling contact lenses from Australia to the US, It is illegal to sell from the US to US customers due to it being a medical device, however the same rules don’t apply to Australian businesses where my company was based. I assume the same would apply for the company I am looking to build. Due to the legal grey area, there aren’t many competitors advertising in the Australian market. Whilst the US market leader is making around 2M profit/month. I plan to contact a business law specialist, but open to any other recommendations.
Creating content can be straightforward, and you don’t need a big budget to get started. You can start by using just your phone to capture and share your ideas. Test your content across multiple platforms to see where it gains traction. If you find that one platform is performing exceptionally well, focus more of your efforts there, especially if you’re limited on time. As for getting attention, think creatively about how to stand out. For example, they recently introduced a new crème brûlée flavour, which helped generate buzz and engage our audience. It’s all about finding innovative ways to capture interest and leveraging what works best for you. Keep experimenting, and you’ll find what resonates with your audience!
Davie, Great video mate. I have a Sydney based business thats a Tech Based asset Management Company. We use primarily Drones, and are registered as a Certified and Licenced Drone Service Provider. The business is getting off the ground, slowly, but we massively need to do things with social and advertising, and I feel like the drone content would be a no brainer for these, I just dont know how to execute. Much like Tom and Rhi, I have a son who I desperately want to do better for. I was living in my car not long ago, and now couch surfing, while trying to reinvest in my business, in order to grow. I would love to sit down and get your opinion of what we could do better and how to achieve that. Appreciate you. - Ryan

The problem: they make vegan donuts and it’s too niche
There is no difference between a vegan donut and a normal on except for a small amount of milk powder in the pre-made donut mix. Having had a million donuts, you'd be hard pressed to work out the difference.
@@geoffmerritt That may be the case but the word "vegan" can deter a lot of people and greatly reduce limit their demographic. Most people aren't going to know that its only a minute difference in ingredients that makes a donut vegan and might associate "vegan" with bland/fake/tasteless (because vegan food has been done so poorly by so many business's already). If they want to stick with a purely vegan product because of their ideals then that's ok, but having both vegan and non-vegan options would have been my first move to turn this business around.
@@DonJulio94 It's funny how people add bland/fake/tasteless "vegan food" to animal products to make them taste better... like salt, pepper and a lot of spices.
You are correct though, there is a lot of ignorance out there when it comes to food that vegans eat.
I would also add that selling "vegan food" at plant 4 is the norm, so they are not out of place there.
Mainly ignorance. People hear vegan and have immediate prejudice. Without knowing donuts are basically vegan with just some minor tweaks
@@PsychoDude you need milk and eggs, i haqd vegan and actual real donut from the classic reciepe and trust me they taste cpmpletely different. imagine eating a croissant made with margarine, its discusting
After this video i started subscribing to everything in your description. You just don't see this value in internet😮🎉🎉
Hi Davie Im a business owner in Lebanon we sell pine nuts direct to consumer from our processing plant, and I have been wondering how to scale it because the market is too small I was considering adding more products and going the retail route I would love to hear your opinion!
Brillant video. Definitely something you should do a lot more of!
Super inspiring video. For me as a marketeer with zero knowledge of making viral video's this made me think about all kinds of oppurtunities.
Banger video Davie, can't believe no-one else is talking about those PYTHONS at 9:41 🔥
I love to see this! Davie you are the goat!
Wow this was absolutely brilliant and inspiring. Thank you for sharing amazing content 😃
I love these videos David! I hope i can see more of them
Volume negates variance in a lot of areas, great vid!
The type of content we need thanks Davie
Fantastic❤❤❤❤ so happy for them. Great video content for entrepreneurs
how is this not blowing up
keep on the good work man
Mate, now I want to go down to Bowden and check them out. Great work helping a local Adelaide biz
Please do!
They should offer a icecream doughnut sandwich in the Summer months, I'd crush one of those.
That's a great idea!
thank you for bringing the reality check for "going viral". It still needs hard work, not just a stroke of luck or a boost to any good looking videos online. Awesome story! Hope it made enough impact for Tom and Rae traction.
God this series is so good!
So they increased their revenue with direct labor. But I would've love to see you do a financial audit to decrease costs (var and fixed) as well as increasing revenue via indirect labor like online, pre orders, etc.
pre ordes ? bro they arnt selling a game or a sneaker. "new donut special edition coming, you csan pre order now until they drop "
This deserves 100x more views Davie, well done
Really love this.......new subscriber, and
**I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT** we all need to get behind Aussie businesses, supporting each other for a productive future! ❤
I've had a bedding business for 7 years now, we only sell online,. I'm part of your community on daily mentor! I'm just not sure how to scale.
Hi if you don’t mind attaching the link to your website I’d much appreciate it.
Thank you
can you tell me who your target market is?
Incredible Video Davie, I'm very happy for them! At the end of the video, I saw that you're ok to help some struggling businesses in the comments!
I’m facing a very high CPM (+$70) which makes me un-profitable even if my creative had %5 CTR and 5% Conversion Rate.
I’ve been doing dropshipping 2 years now and now switched to E-commerce because of you! I thought I may get lower CPM if I had an original content shot for my branded product, I tested tons and tons of creatives (Images/UGCs) and all are having very high CPM.
I’m about to give up the Ecom dream because of this cpm issue, I tried different pixels, ad accounts, and business accounts but that didn’t fix it.
I hope you can respond with 1 sentence that can help me with this matter.
Much thanks Davie, you’re my inspo!
@@AliMekkawy what's your targeting like? Sounds like it's too narrow
Yeah it sounds like a targeting issue. What if you start very broad and make your way down or even use the LAA from your broad campaigns.
Don't go on CPM go by the profitability and lifetime customer value. CPM is a vanity metrics people get so caught up in. My CPM is $100-$200. You can go broad, narrow, change to LLA, test more creatives, copy, video vs images.
The most important part is trigger their desires if you 100% now that..
It does not matter about CPM as my CVR is insane, the AOV constantly improving. EVERY business is different every ad account every niche
It' broad targeting guys already!
It's usually the niche, I have tried a store in the health & wellness space and CPM was $40 and i have a store in the crafting niche and it is $8
LOVE THE BISCOFF DONUT, YUM, I GET THIS WHEN I TRAVEL THERE NOW!!!!!
It was soo good!
Walked in on his side hustle to keep the business open lol at @6:36, he was cooking up something else lol
The vegan donut is the issue, its not a viral feature. It cuts out 80% of people, a non vegan wouldnt eat a vegan version of something unhealthy when they do get the urge for a donut or bacon sandwich
How good! Love seeing people in little old Adelaide do well! What a man taking the time to help this couple! Next challenge for ya is to help a golf youtube channel out? 🙈😏😂😏
You might laugh but, Belshaw's Donut Robot is very simple and will draw a crowd very fast when they see it working.
Hey Davie, been following you for years. Recently moved to Adelaide and noticed this shop is just around the corner from me.
I have a product I am planning to start an ecommerce store for; however, there are a few legal grey areas surrounding it.
I’m planning to incorporate my business in Dubai where it is legal to sell the products in question. However, as I plan to target the Australian market, I’m unsure if I’m still breaching any legal requirements.
I previously created a 7 figure ecommerce store selling contact lenses from Australia to the US, It is illegal to sell from the US to US customers due to it being a medical device, however the same rules don’t apply to Australian businesses where my company was based.
I assume the same would apply for the company I am looking to build. Due to the legal grey area, there aren’t many competitors advertising in the Australian market. Whilst the US market leader is making around 2M profit/month.
I plan to contact a business law specialist, but open to any other recommendations.
That transition in the middle explaining how to go viral was🔥🔥
My concern is what should someone in the same position do if they don't have someone like you to bare the cost of free doughnuts
Creating content can be straightforward, and you don’t need a big budget to get started. You can start by using just your phone to capture and share your ideas. Test your content across multiple platforms to see where it gains traction. If you find that one platform is performing exceptionally well, focus more of your efforts there, especially if you’re limited on time.
As for getting attention, think creatively about how to stand out. For example, they recently introduced a new crème brûlée flavour, which helped generate buzz and engage our audience. It’s all about finding innovative ways to capture interest and leveraging what works best for you. Keep experimenting, and you’ll find what resonates with your audience!
very educative, im from fnb industry amazed with ur strategy marketing
Free donuts?! I'd be there in a heartbeat! But seriously, giving away free stuff is genius. It's all about the long game, right? 🤝🍩
Absolutely! The excitement surrounding the event will significantly boost brand visibility and attract a lot more attention.
May be a silly idea but instead of a cronut or “Doughssant”, can they do the opposite? a crescent shaped doughnut? odd idea but it may work?
That's actually a very cool idea. Not sure how it'll be made but that is definitely different and could be very popular on social media!
13:57 Did you post the donuts on fire 🔥 on social? Looks great
Honestly, the location is the biggest issue 100%. Aside from the location I can see this type of business flourishing else where.
Davie, Great video mate. I have a Sydney based business thats a Tech Based asset Management Company. We use primarily Drones, and are registered as a Certified and Licenced Drone Service Provider. The business is getting off the ground, slowly, but we massively need to do things with social and advertising, and I feel like the drone content would be a no brainer for these, I just dont know how to execute. Much like Tom and Rhi, I have a son who I desperately want to do better for. I was living in my car not long ago, and now couch surfing, while trying to reinvest in my business, in order to grow. I would love to sit down and get your opinion of what we could do better and how to achieve that. Appreciate you. - Ryan
Amazing. Lovely people and the donuts look 😋 yummo
Change name of business to CREAMPIE and it will be a global sensation.
😂😂
huge respect for you davie really like this content keep it up...
The cross between a croissant and a donut is a pretty standard thing a called a cronut 😂
This is a very big W. Keep it up 🔥
"Is someone filming with their iPhone" is the most American thing I've heard😂
what is that black sunglass, brand name and model number you were wearing at the start of the video? 5:34
Dope format!
Love it some great tips here will definitely be trying 😍
good work davie. love the episode
Hey Davie! I have a business which makes furniture and homewares out of recycled plastic. We are pretty stagnant at the moment and would love expertise please!
