Snacks are the easiest add-on in the store. A shopper came in for dinner and leaves with wafers, chocolate and chips too. Polish and European snacks and sweets do this well, because they are the treats shoppers remember. Here is how to turn them into bigger baskets.

What sells on impulse

The movers are wafers, chocolate bars, hard candy and salty snacks. Milka, Solidarność and Jutrzenka chocolate sell on name recognition. Stock a tight set of the top sellers rather than a deep shelf of slow ones. Impulse works on visibility, not variety.

Place snacks where decisions happen

Snacks sell at the register, the end cap and eye level, not buried mid-aisle. Put the recognizable brands where shoppers wait and where they finish the trip. A chocolate bar at checkout is a last-second yes.

Lean into the seasons

Sweets spike at Christmas and Easter. Boxed chocolates and holiday candy sell as gifts and for the table, so build a seasonal display four weeks out. The rest of the year, keep the everyday bars and wafers stocked near the register.

The bottom line
