What is a Candy Bouquet?
A Candy Bouquet arrangement is a floral-like gift basket creation that is crafted from candies and the finest of chocolates. The candies are individually hand-wrapped on stems and lovingly made into unique one-of-a-kind gifts. Each bouquet also includes a burst of accessories and bright cellophane accents in a unique container.
Candy Bouquets are popular as Get Well, Birthday, holiday and other special occasion gifts. Candy Bouquets are fun to give, fun to receive, and fun to eat. They are perfect as corporate gifts and can be shipped anywhere.
No Two Are Alike
Each arrangement can be created in any shape, size, color or theme. Each can be designed to fit the wishes of the customer. Each can be arranged in one of an infinite and colorful variety of baskets, mugs and unusual containers.
Unlike fragile floral arrangements, our products can be packaged and shipped anywhere in the free world. And they last longer than flowers.
These are gifts that won’t fade, wilt or die.
Candy Bouquet arrangements can be customized for any occasion or any personality. Each can be personalized with party novelties, balloons, stuffed animals, silk flowers, hobby theme items and much more.
In fact, there are no limitations to what can go into a Candy Bouquet arrangement. Sometimes, customers bring their own photographs, personal items (even golf clubs!) to include.
Price of a Candy Bouquet
Personalized arrangements begin at about $10 and can go up to an appropriate amount for a really elaborate arrangement. Some have cost as much as $200. But the average arrangement retails for between $25 and $45. And there is a special ready-made arrangement that retails for LESS THAN $5.00.
There are about a dozen standard Candy Bouquet arrangements, and the company continues to develop additional designs to offer new ideas to its franchise holders. With new products continually being introduced in franchise stores, customers return again and again, creating excitement, expanding franchise markets and building repeat sales.
Mark-up of a Candy Bouquet
The average mark-up of a Candy Bouquet is three and one half (3 ½) times. That is, if you have $10.00 wholesale and labor in your bouquet, you should be able to retail the bouquet for approximately $35.00.
