Chocolate: The candy fit for all seasons

by admin1

September 12, 2016

September 8 - It's never too early to start stocking up on the next big seasonal event. At least that's what retailers believe. Halloween candy is already on the shelves -- for several weeks now in some places.

One new product that just debuted is M&M’s Boo-tterscotch.  But you can only find this variety in one place.

And this brings up a tactic that manufacturers and retailers are using to conjure up incremental sales: Channel Exclusivity.

Mars has pursued this strategy with limited edition products, particularly at Walmart and Target.

Walmart has been the exclusive venue for such M&M’s limited-edition flavors as Easter Sundae, Strawberry Chocolate, Pecan Pie and Hot Chocolate.

Target has been the only place you could find such M&M’s limited-edition flavors as White (Chocolate) Strawberry Shortcake, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Café Mocha and and the aforementioned Boo-tterscotch.

Packaged Facts has scared up all of the latest market data, trends and consumer insights in its brand new report:  Chocolate Candy Market in the U.S.
