Can
you believe we’re just three weeks away from Thanksgiving in the U.S.? That’s
why this week’s tip is to help your customers celebrate Thanksgiving by selling
fall-themed chocolate and candy centerpieces in your store.
The
varieties and options for centerpieces are endless! One of our favorites is a
chocolate cornucopia decorated with chocolate leaves and filled with chocolates
and dried fruits (see photo above). While this centerpiece is an obvious
investment of time, it sure makes for a beautiful display!
Another
more simple idea is to create different sizes of trays or platters filled with
your chocolates. Be sure to use a wrapping of some sort to make it feasible for
the customer to transport the centerpiece to their home. We have also seen
numerous sizes of turkey moulds used to create Thanksgiving centerpieces. Some
candy makers sell the moulded chocolate turkey on its own while others may
incorporate the turkey as the center of their trays and platters.
You
could also consider trying a new twist on topiaries by covering a foam sphere
with truffles (on top of parchment paper) and securing the sphere on a large
candlestick. Or, make Thanksgiving-themed cake pops and create a centerpiece
display out of them.
