Chocolate: The Anytime Indulgence That Shines During Holidays
Though chocolate is an anytime indulgence, it just so happens that chocolate is one of the biggest holiday gift purchases, no matter which holiday we’re celebrating. Chocolate is a major portion of the 120 million pounds of candy purchased for the Easter season each year, and it accounts for 75% of the total US Valentine’s day sales. According to FoodDive.com, 39% of US adults reported purchasing chocolate as a seasonal gift in 2016 – up from 27% in 2015.
With opportunity comes a lot of competition. Premium chocolate is making a mark on these sales, as shoppers consider gourmet chocolate to be a wonderful gift that is appreciated by any recipient. Stand out during the “candy” holidays, and the rest of the year, by turning your staff into chocolate connoisseurs.

Food is going beyond simply satisfying hunger, with ‘nutritional value’ ranking as a major factor in food consumption, according to 73% of those surveyed.
A simple way to promote this trend is to highlight products that showcase the low carb craze. Many of these products replace carbohydrates with beans and vegetables. For example, you can update your pasta aisle with bean-based pastas that reduce carbs while amping up protein like POW!™ Pasta Lentil Penne Pasta from Ancient Harvest®.
