Sweet maker Swizzels is urging retailers to prepare for a bumper Halloween season by stocking up early on its popular variety bags and themed ranges, designed to drive strong seasonal sales.
With Halloween falling on a Friday, demand for sharing formats and individually wrapped treats for parties and trick-or-treating is expected to be higher than ever.
Swizzels’ Halloween portfolio continues to go from strength to strength, with Scrumptious Sweets 134g, Luscious Lollies 132g, and Curious Chews 135g (all in £1.25 pricemarked packs) remaining a must-stock for the season.
Thanks to its all-year-round appeal, the variety bags range retains its sales potential well beyond Halloween, making it a smart investment for retailers looking to manage seasonal stock efficiently.
Swizzels’ Halloween-themed range is also set to perform well this year, featuring popular packs such as Monster Treats (440g, RRP £4), Mummy Mix (340g, RRP £3) and the Trick or Treat Lolly Mix (330g, RRP £3).
For shoppers seeking bigger, great-value formats, the Swizzels Sweet Shop Favourites Tub (MRSP £5) remains a Halloween essential for retailers, offering a wide selection of individually wrapped treats that appeal to the whole family.
Clare Newton, trade and shopper marketing manager, said: “Halloween has become one of the biggest seasonal events and this year it falls on a Friday, meaning retailers should stock up in preparation for bigger celebrations across the weekend and expect heightened demand for sharing formats for parties and events.
“Our variety bags are an absolute staple at this time of year. They’re packed with treats to suit every taste, perfect for sharing, and ideal for trick-or-treating thanks to their individually wrapped format.”
