The Selection boxes also offer a great alternative to chocolate and so cater to different dietary requirements.

“With 90 per cent of UK consumers buying confectionery at Christmas, it’s vital that retailers make the most of this commercially important time of the year," said Rose Marketing UK MG Steven Watt. "We recommend mixing up the in-store offer with popular brands and hints of Christmas past to encourage nostalgic shopping experiences. To take advantage of this busy trading time, themed Christmas displays in the highest footfall areas like a store entrance or end of aisle should be considered and Rose can offer dedicated point of sale to make this really special. Whatever instore theatre is chosen, it will definitely boost shopper spirits and in turn encourage confectionery sales. Retailers should also consider the various gifting and eating occasions that are synonymous with Christmas and build displays relating to things like stocking filler treats, last-minute gift ideas and self-eat indulgence."
