The best move you can make to sell more chocolate and candy at the newsagency counter

I my newsagencies we sell high-end delicious chocolate treats. The challenge is that people don’t know how good the chocolate is unless they try it. So, we regularly cut up some treats for tasing: chocolate, fudge, rocky road, and more. Each time we do this, the products sell.

Of course, we do it in a safe way, and we don’t push. What you see in the photo is at the counter, and people help themselves.

Darrell Lea were strong on takings back in the 1990s. I think it was a requirement, but I may be wrong on that. Certainly, back then, it worked a treat. And, we have done it since with other chocolate and candy makers.

It has worked very well. I highly recommend it.

Oh, and we don’t sell any everyday candy or chelate you can buy at the supermarket or a convenience store.
