Avoid Halloween Scares and Prepare Early

For retailers of confectionery, Halloween is one of the busiest periods of the year. With lots of people hosting parties and trick or treating, all kinds of sweets are a huge part of spooky season! As the time gets nearer, it definitely pays to have your store prepared in plenty of time.

As the school holidays draw to an end, Halloween is the next big item on the calendar. From multipacks and sweets for trick or treaters through to party supplies and sweet tables, there is an opportunity for increased sales of a wide range of products. From chocolate bars and Halloween pick n mix, pick n mix tubs and so much more!

There are shoppers who will scramble for what they need at the last minute, but there are just as many who will prepare well in advance. So, the sooner you get your Halloween range out on shelves, the sooner those early birds can start getting ready themselves. Seeing the seasonal specials and Halloween sections pop up will also remind less prepared customers that the holiday is approaching. If your displays plant the seed, shoppers are likely to come back and get their supplies from you, too.

Obviously, when you get your store ready ahead of time, you have a better chance of getting hold of the stock you really want. Therefore, you’ll be able to offer the best range, full of the most popular lines. Around Halloween, branded multipacks are always popular as shoppers trust the products. Plus, whatever they’re preparing for, a multipack will offer them the best value, too.

Just like any other seasonal stock, there are many reasons why it makes sense to prepare early for Halloween. From securing the lines you want the most to lengthening the sales window and boosting your bottom line, stay ahead of the competition and avoid any Halloween scares. So many brands release special editions of their most popular products for Halloween, and these variations will catch the eye of shoppers. Stocking them is a brilliant way to boost your sales – and being prepared gives you a better chance of securing the short-run stock.
