“Christmas delivers the biggest sales uplift for confectionery and last year it was the highest performing category showing +17.3 per cent growth,” said Steven Watt, CEO at Rose Marketing UK. “With 97 per cent of households buying confectionery and spending an average of £55 per person over the festive season, it’s vital for retailers to offer a selection of sure-fire festive favourites to really get their tills ringing at Christmas.
“A third of consumers started shopping earlier in 2023 than previous years and it’s likely that this trend will remain this year. Not only does it spread the costs of the occasion, but it helps shoppers feel better prepared ahead of a traditionally hectic period. Therefore, clear the shelves to create space for Christmas confectionery in October when preparations start to shift into the front of a shopper’s mind.
“By November, it is ‘Operation Christmas’ for many and the ‘Christmas Countdown’ really begins. As well as having sufficient stock in October, it’s important that it remains available until Christmas to cater for those last-minute purchases. Display Christmas lines within regular confectionery fixtures and create additional seasonal displays as well. This makes selection easier and boosts impulse purchases. Gondola ends are another way to increase visibility and drive sales.
“With the pressures on the cost of living many households will be looking to cut costs during the festive season. Sharing boxes, sweets and chocolates can evoke memories and bring comfort to festive occasions. They are often seen as more affordable indulgences, so it is imperative to stock a wide range of sweet treats to boost that all-important bottom line.”
