Posted by The Candy Man on

If you’re a retail business looking to stock your shelves with tasty, sweet, candy treats and delicious, satisfying snacks, it’s important to find the right candy wholesaler to purchase from. The wholesaler you choose will be more than a business transaction. They will become a partner invested in the success of your ventures.  When you’re winning, they’re winning.

A good reliable wholesaler with a wide variety of confectionery products will make your convenience store, gar bar, farm market, or candy stores much stronger by promptly supplying stores with the latest candy and snacks.

When choosing the candy to make available to your customers, a good mix of nostalgic, new, exciting, and appealing to the taste buds should all be considered.

Good Reputation and reviews

The easiest way to see if a candy wholesaler will be a good fit for your candy business is by reading the reviews.

Are other people reporting that this candy wholesaler has good business practices? Are other people's experiences lining up with the experiences you hope to have when choosing a candy wholesaler to work with?
Check out how many reviews there are this is a good indicator of the size of the wholesale operation you're dealing with.
Take a look at the negative reviews and keep in mind not everybody has something positive to say. Pay attention to how the wholesaler responded to the negative review. Have they attempted to make it right with that customer? If that were you would you be satisfied with that resolution?

If a majority of the reviews are positive and there appears to be good communication when a problem arises, it's time to look at some other areas of the candy wholesaler you're investigating.

How long has the candy wholesaler been in business?

A candy wholesaler that has been established for a lengthy amount of time is a good sign. It means they’re committed to their business and won’t leave you in a pickle by closing up shop and moving on.  They’ve also dealt with a larger variety of issues that may arise when sourcing candy and snacks and getting them to sellers.

A long time wholesaler will be incredibly knowledgeable about the products they carry, what is hot and trending in the confectionery industry, and how to market these snacks and treats to the public.

Fresh candy and snacks

Products that are close to their expiry dates are problem causing. They’re less appealing to customers, their viable selling time is less and they often end up being wasted. Check out the freshness of the candy and snacks when you’re researching a wholesaler.  Are they passing on inventory that is close to expiry or are they providing the freshest candy and snacks possible to their retail clients?

The freshness of wholesaler stock is also a good indication of how often their inventor turns over.  This tells you about the long term viability of the company you’re choosing to deal with.
