Print

 

It’s tasty, popular, easy-to-make and profitable! Gourmet popcorn has established itself as a prime snacking leader. Make the most of your year ahead by planning strategic promotions around holidays and special events. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• New Year’s Day (Friday, January 1) – Pop into the New Year by offering custom popcorn bars for parties. Add sprinkles to make a special confetti version!
• Valentine’s Day (Sunday, February 14) – This is a great opportunity for merchandising with heart shaped tins. Spice things up with a cinnamon flavor.
• St. Patrick’s Day (Thursday, March 17) – Be ready with a variety of green colors and flavors like green apple! You could also mix up a custom variety and call it, “Pot of Gold!”
• Easter (Sunday, March 27) – Pastels and fruity flavors will be a colorful addition to any Easter basket. Consider creating special gift baskets for the season.
• Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 8) Father’s Day (Sunday, June 19) – Make mom happy by offering a Mother’s Day special, like a chocolate-covered combination. Dads are sure to love a savory mix like bacon or sour cream & chives.
• Graduations (May & June) – An ideal treat for graduation parties, make up batches in the colors of your local schools.
• 4th of July (Monday, July 4) – In shades of red, white and blue, popcorn never looked so patriotic! It’s also a good time to show your appreciation and offer specials to military servicemen and women.
• Back to School (August & September) – Parents can give teachers an extra bit of encouragement for a great year ahead with gourmet popcorn gift packages. Or make up care packages customers can send to their favorite student away at college. It will be a big hit on campus!
• Halloween (Monday, October 31) – Popcorn makes an excellent alternative treat to candy. Shape orange popcorn into balls and decorate into pumpkins as an extra special treat.
• Christmas (Sunday, December 25) – With a wide assortment of flavors, gourmet popcorn is a gift that can please anyone’s taste buds! Try a red and green holiday color combination for visual appeal. It’s easy to ship so you can send regional favorites like Cincinnati Style Chili to friends and family.
• Year-round – Keep your customers coming back with a special Flavor of the Month Club! Members get special discounts and are invited to be the first to taste new flavors.
