Swizzels\u2019 top 3 tips to maximise profits for wholesalers\/ C&Cs this Christmas<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Prep for a \u2018tight\u2019 Christmas!<\/strong><\/p>\n As over 53% are having to reduce spending to pay their bills, value-for-money confectionery continues to be a hugely popular choice for shoppers, particularly as financial circumstances have changed post-pandemic.<\/p>\n Consequently, whilst this Christmas many will want to celebrate the festivities as much as possible, they are likely to be on a tighter budget \u2013 so it\u2019s important to stock the right confectionery to appeal to the masses.<\/p>\n 58% of shoppers also prefer retailers that sell products with price on the packaging, so retailers should stock a range of value products from popular brands to boost sales.<\/p>\n 2. Merchandise seasonal together<\/strong><\/p>\n With Christmas comes seasonal ranges of popular sweets. Customers will be on the lookout for any opportunities to stock up on these to fit in with themed parties and even secret Santas, so they are sure to be in high demand.<\/p>\n To make it easier to find, retailers should also create a section in-store or online that highlights this range \u2013 in a high-footfall location that their customers will definitely walk by, e.g. at the front of the store or end-of-aisle.<\/p>\n 3. Don\u2019t underestimate the importance of displays<\/strong><\/p>\n Seasonal events are the perfect time to create and produce displays that promote your Christmas offering in an exciting way.<\/p>\n At the start of November, retailers should create a Christmas themed display in a high footfall area, like an aisle end or front of store, to take advantage of the countdown to Christmas.<\/p>\n This could include Christmas themed confectionery and also sharing & gifting formats, as shoppers will be looking to take advantage of spending the festive period with loved ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Confectionery giant Swizzels says Christmas is one of the biggest events in the sugar confectionery calendar and is set to be a huge event for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":24802,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[185,2],"tags":[6090,2163,6087,51,295,6089,5096,6088,6084,1862,6086,2124,6085,253,1712],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SSF-collection.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24801"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24801"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24803,"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24801\/revisions\/24803"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neighbourhoodretailer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
