Selling Pick n Mix

We get a lot of questions in this area and we are more than happy to give free guidance . So if you need some specific answers call us or drop us an e mail. However in the main two questions come up frequently –

Q/ What should I sell the sweets for ?
A/ This is a very good question and will depend very much on how much local competition you have. Tesco are more like Woolworths once were with them setting the bench mark at 75p per 100 gms and cups at at £2 and £3. However many outlets sell for considerably more and we suggest £.75 – £1.00 per 100 gms. With our vat inclusive cost per 100 gms being at in the main £.38 there is considerable scope for a good margin to be achieved even at 75p per 100 gms ( the same as Tesco !)

Q/ Do I sell by weight or by cup ?
A/ We suggest both but if you wish to avoid the need to weigh ( have no scales/ speed up the sale/reduce price resistence) then just offering a number of sizes of cups is a good alternative. Most suitable cups come in the following sizes 100ml/100gms. 200ml/200 gms and 400ml/400 gms. However their effective fill weight is circa 75-80% of this, as unless you fill the cup exclusively with jelly beans that can fill the space comprehensively most people will put a variety of odd shapes sweets which will not allow the theoretical fill to be achieved. However this is a guide and if you make a random choice from your sweets and fill the cups to be used you can see what the typical weights can be.

Pick n Mix Hire

Q/ How long can I hire a unit for ?
A/We do not have a limit to our hire , but it is designed for short term promotional/event purposes purposes. For longer periods a stand purchase would be an economic alternative.

Q/ Can I hire a stand without sweets ?
A/ We get varied requests for our displays to be used for such things as – nail polish promotion, ornamental stone products , vapour flavours even dog treats. So yes we are happy to help with whatever you wish to display and please surprise us with your proposals ! If you need it for sweets we would prefer them to be ours and if your specific sweets are not listed we can provide them.

Q/ Can I hire a display outside the UK ?
A/ No problem we do it all the time.
