Leading confectionery wholesaler Hancocks has unveiled its top-selling products for Easter, encouraging retailers to stock up on these products ahead of the event in order to meet demand and maximise sales.
The confectionery specialist also noted that March is the optimum month to start preparing for Easter sales to stand out from the competition and appeal to savvy customers on the lookout for seasonal promotions.
“Holidays are the best time for retailers to boost sales, so it’s important to stock up early to avoid missing out on the potential surge of revenue,” Kathryn Hague, head of marketing at Hancocks said.
“We’re happy to offer retailers a wide selection of Easter confectionery products to help them maximise their sales ahead of the holiday.”
Sharing tips on merchandising seasonal confectionery ranges, she said retailers should make sure displays have clear and attractive POS.
In order to pull attention in stores, seasonal impulse-buy treats should be placed near the tills to boost unplanned purchases and customers should be provided easy navigation to the Easter displays.
“By using appealing POS, retailers can be sure that the seasonal products will attract customers’ attention and result in sales,” Hague said.
“Easter displays and seasonal impulse buy products should be placed near the tills to maximise sales and encourage unplanned purchases.”
