Italian term or phrase: Gelato che fai, cliente che trovi

Every now and then we can have a bit of fun.
On the site of the Italian Gelato-Makers association there is a page on positioning.
http://www.ilgelatoartigianale.info/Sei_un_gelatiere/Il_Posi...

Of course the slogan is untranslatable per se, but as you have all come up with such a lot of nice ideas on previous occasions, instead of looking at the ice building inexporably up outside your window, you may prefer dream of sunny summer days, and the choices that a gelato-maker has on how to flog his wares...

English translation:Find your flavour: find your customer

Explanation:
The link provided exhorts ice-cream makers to reflect on what their unique selling point is (unusual flavours, organic ingredients, etc.) and use that awareness to better market themselves. It's not about quality per se, or 'when in Rome...'.
Hence the above attempt. HTH :).

This of course was the hardest part, selecting the best out of some memorable entries. In the end I sent the customer three alternatives: Oliver's, Russell's and Colin's, all of which show that instead of slaving over a hot PC all day to earn your keep you could be coming up with catchy phrases for a living in the swankiest Milan advertising agencies...

bespoke gelato experiences

Explanation:
You could play around with the old adspeak favourite "bespoke".

Note, too, that "gelato" is not quite the same as ice cream since it usually has a lower butterfat content.
