We love helping our clients share their story about where they came from, because after all, some of the best companies started off in the garage of a
visionary’s home.
Creating Cupcake Cravings Around The Bay4th Street Garage
Inspired by my three daughters and son, thus Tres Marias and a Blessing, I've always been delighted at having an opportunity to celebrate life's special occasions with family and friends. Planning and envisioning a theme or menu and seeing it come to fruition always brings me such joy. The icing on the cake is witnessing the joy on our children's faces as they are immersed in the moments that shape their childhood memories.
Whether it be a new combination of food, flavors and scents or a new artful way of presenting an array of floral interpretations or delectable dessert creations, celebrations are an opportunity to create memories.

Tres Marias Inside and Outside of The KitchenInstagram
Re-baking The Tres Marias Identity. In order to re-establish Tres Marias as a brand, a separate Instagram account, aside from Ingrid’s personal account was created.
Using The Content Theme Cake. As part of building the Tres Marias lifestyle and culture, content themes were used when curating images to post to Instagram. Posts included images about of Tres Marias products, as well as life outside of the kitchen.
Tres Marias Lifestyle & Culture. For lifestyle images, the eyes tend to be more attracted to overexposed, light-filtered photos, as compared to dark, unfiltered photos. All pictures used VSCO’s HB1 Filter to ensure consistency.
It’s Dessert O’Clock Somewhere. To ensure customer reach and engagement, posts were scheduled around peak posting times.
Making Tres Marias & A Blessing Come AliveFacebook
When posting updates and photos to Facebook, it’s important to understand what consumers find most interesting and inspiring. Facebook allows brands to engage with consumers on a more
personal level.
Just As Authentic As Grandma’s Cookies. Share what is genuinely exciting to the business and consumers will respond with the same excitement.
Don’t Deflate The Soufflé Show that the business cares and listens to customers by responding back to comments. If more time is needed to respond, inform the customer that the situation is being looked into.
The Cookie Jar Is Never Empty. Posting consistently provides more opportunity to connect with individual customers to build trust. Therefore, setting a schedule maximizes the team's effort to provide regular updates/posts.
Always Preheat The Oven. By replicating successful posts that receive more engagement, it facilitates more promotion within the business.
The Perfect Platform for A Tres Marias PartyTwitter
Unlike Facebook and Instagram, it’s hard to over-post on Twitter. Directly reaching out to followers, influencers, even competitors isn’t frowned upon or seen as “weird.” It’s practically encouraged. From a branding standpoint,
it’s the platform that allows you to find your voice, because just saying what you should say won’t always cut it.
Bacon, Eggs, and Hashtags. Use of relevant hashtags to boost meaningful impressions became a point of emphasis
The Recipe for Tres Tweets. Light-hearted and appropriate copy, peppered with humor and topical mainstream content
Sugar, Spice & All Things Nice. Tweets were themed around: DIY, Food Faves, Food For Thought, and Products/Services
Reciprocate The Flavor. Interact with influencers who engage with @TresMariasParty. Share articles and tweets from other users through retweets and favorites to encourage reciprocative relationship
A Bite of Tres In Your Very Own KitchenWordpress
Social media channels have made making small connections and basic engagements a thing of ease. However, most “followers” have been bred to only care about posts they can read between blinks, while more meaningful posts go unnoticed. The great thing about the blogosphere is that the people who are reading your content actually care about what you have to say. The Tres Marias Party blog allowed us to show our audience more of what we’re really about.
