Important Decisions

Considerations When Purchasing Candy

Type

Here are some common candy kinds that your customers may anticipate to find in your candy store:

Caramel

Chocolate

Candy cotton

Gum chewing

Gummies

Licorice

Hard candy

Lollipop

Brittle

Toffee

Candy made with rocks

Color

Some clients may choose to purchase candy in certain colours to commemorate important events such as a wedding or graduation. Organizing your sweets by colour might be a visually appealing and functional strategy to appeal to these clients.

Flavor

Aside from the conventional sweetness of most candy, certain sweets are blended with fruity, spicy, sour, or salty components to produce a distinct and enjoyable taste. Stocking a variety of sweets with distinct tastes (for example, peanut butter, coconut, sea salt, chilli, orange, lemon, cinnamon, and so on) can make your candy shop stand out.

Theme

Are the bulk of your clients adults or children? Do you intend to operate a conventional, artisan, or specialty confectionery shop? Consider your consumer base and the style of candy business you want to operate, since these are two significant aspects that will influence the types of sweets you buy.

A high-end chocolate store, for example, is likely to appeal to people shopping for presents, holidays, and other special events. A bulk candy shop, on the other hand, that offers novelty treats linked with cartoon characters is more likely to appeal to youngsters.

Durability

If you don’t produce your own sweets, prepare ahead to ensure that the candy you buy from vendors is fresh and pleasant by the time it reaches your clients. Generally, the softer the candy, the shorter its shelf life.

The average shelf life of several varieties of candy:

Dark chocolate lasts around 12 months, whereas milk chocolate lasts approximately 8–10 months.

Hard candy may be kept in a cold, dry area for 9 to 12 months.

8–16 months for chewing gum

Caramel: about 3 weeks at room temperature, but up to 6 months if frozen

Gummies may be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for 6 – 12 months.

Origin country

Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium are well-known for their chocolate goods, but Japan is well-known for its matcha (green tea) flavoured sweets. When it comes to speciality candy, you should seek for overseas sources to get the greatest candy available.

Concerns About Health and Other Issues

More and more individuals are looking for unique candies that will match their health demands while also gratifying their sweet tooth. Kosher, gluten-free, non-GMO, sugar-free, no artificial colouring, and organic are all common concerns.

Best Shopping Locations

There are several candy providers available online. Choose those with well-maintained websites, strong social media presences, and positive client feedback. Call them and inquire about bulk candy savings.
