Spring and its tourist and festive events are coming ! As a retailer, you’re in a good position to know: these are opportunities for your customers to come into your stores and make purchases! And why not take the opportunity to attract tourists and visitors?

This year, what are the spring events not to be missed? How can you prepare for them? What additional sales can you expect with our french jams ?

What events encourage addictive selling during the spring season?

Spring… a season full of color! Why choose this season to boost your sales and make our Maison Andrésy products available?

Well, because there are plenty of events to encourage complementary purchases in retail outlets and reservations in hotels and restaurants:

  • music festivals,
  • flower markets,
  • the reopening of remarkable gardens to visit
  • the carnival season gets underway!
  • Easter at the end of March
  • and last but not least, the May weekends: some great weekends this year!

Don’t miss them! These are great opportunities to sell more seasonal items!

Why do additional sales for this spring season?

Think you don’t need to do follow-up sales in spring? Think again!

Spring events are perfect for cross-selling:

  • There are opportunities to attract tourists from France and abroad, and visitors from other regions, who will be looking for souvenirs to buy in your stores. In some towns, festivals, carnivals, swap meets, etc. bring in many visitors in high spirits, ready to consume.
  • Easter is a great time for families to get together and buy something to enjoy at breakfast or a family meal.
  • We treat ourselves at the table to make the most of long weekends: we take the time to have a good breakfast – in a gourmet way! – and enjoy long meals

Opportunities not to be missed for lack of preparation!

So do you have everything in your cheese dairies, bakeries,, wineries and grocery stores to encourage impulse buying and opportunities to take home souvenirs?

Fig confit is a traditional French recipe!

It involves cooking purple figs from southern regions with cane sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper.

The fig is thus sweetened and salted.

Fig confit can be eaten with foie gras and cheeses – excellent with goat’s cheese!

Our confits can also be used in mini aperitif toasts, verrines and plate decorations;

Above all, their 46g format allows everyone to choose their own recipe and avoid food waste!
