What is the "Big 6"?

Sustainability
Did you know that 30% of US consumers that buy chocolate say that they actively seek out sustainably-produced chocolate?
Leveraging this claim in your product offering will positively boost your consumer's view of your business and will bring up your bottom line over time.
Actively promote your sustainable offer on your social media to expand your messaging.
You can also get creative and promote it through your packaging or brand brochure and display it on your counters.
A Unique Story
Today’s consumers are faced with more choices than ever when it comes to chocolates. This means that they will need a clear added value and additional reasons that echo their beliefs/lifestyles and trigger a purchase at your shop.
Highlighting the origin of your ingredients, and a unique production process are good examples that can increase consumers' willingness to try your products.
You can also draw more passers-by to your shop with an impactful and colorful display. This will bring additional traffic and make your window shop and counter stand out.
Memorable Experiences
Building a positive customer experience can help you:
- Increase your revenue

Whether your customers stop by your shop or prefer to buy your sweets online, make the wait for your treats more fun!
Inviting your customers to watch a list of TV shows while enjoying your creations or adding funny quote stickers to the floor to create a playful trail to your counter are a few examples to create memorable experiences.
