Every year, demand for Mother’s Day gifts spikes across the UK. Most retailers respond with what already exists. The smarter retailer creates something new from what already exists.

If you source bulk sweets from Monmore Confectionery, you gain the ability to design your own gift range — and that ability is where margin lives.

Start With A Simple Jar — Turn It Into Something Personal

As a simple exmaple, take a Victorian 500ml Jar. Fill it with Milk Chocolate Pink Beans.

• Cost of beans (1kg): £3.99 + VAT
• Jar cost: £0.48 + VAT
• Approx. 450g per jar
• Total cost per jar: approx. £2.47 + VAT

Add a personalised label: “Mum’s Favourite Since 1998”.

Retail at £6.99.

You have just turned commodity confectionery into a customised Mother’s Day gift that no supermarket can replicate.

Monmore supplies the raw material. You supply the imagination.

That combination is what allows independent retailers to thrive and win Mother’s Day gifts on their own terms.
