Use this tool for your merchandising planning through 2030!

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 2025-2030 Merchandising & Promotion Calendar as a resource to help with your planning through 2030.

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, we’re making it a FREE downloadable to all our blog followers. Click here to download the 2025-2030 Merchandising & Promotion Calendar. 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. The Annual Buying Calendar is another member resource, which suggests the best times of the year to order particular items to maximize production and profit throughout the year.
