Use this tool for your merchandising planning for the next 4 years

For over 100 years, retail candy makers and their suppliers have counted on Retail Confectioners International (RCI) to help them grow their sweet businesses. This week we’re highlighting RCI’s Four-Year Merchandising + Promotions Calendar as a resource to help with your planning through 2025.

Use this resource as a quick guide for social media scheduling, as well as retail store merchandising and marketing promotions. You may even use it as a reference when ordering ingredients and supplies, approving staff time-off requests around the holidays and for scheduling routine maintenance.

Although this valuable resource is normally exclusive to RCI members, were making it a free downloadable to all our blog followers.

RCI members can find other resources like this by logging on to the RCI member site and accessing the Templates and Tools within the Business Tool Kit.
