From the bakery industry, bread, which is the most significant article of food, is baked. From the customers’ perspective, high-quality bread makes it possible for people to develop positive minds towards the product (Davis, 2011). From this positive thinking, customers will be able to increase their purchasing power hence increased revenues for the business.

The products from the company range from tangible finished products to intangible products such as the support staff services.

Bakery industry can collect the customers’ views on the exact taste and preference of the brand they want in the market through numerous available channels.
