Why heart-shaped boxes filled with chocolate are a Valentine’s must
Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Time for friendly and romantic gestures! Whether customers pre-plan or opt for the last-minute rush, their go-to gift is most likely a heart-shaped box full of chocolate. This isn’t just an educated guess — the numbers don’t lie. 52% of all Valentine’s day sales, or $1.8 billion will be spent on candy including chocolate, according to the National Retail Federation. Of that total, approximately 36 million heart shaped boxes are sold each year according to AdAge.
