1. Pay attention to the taste of snacks. Usually, we should communicate with customers more, understand the tastes of local consumers and make constant adjustments; We should make more efforts to purchase goods from the taste, and the goods are not much but fine. We should launch as many new products with market potential as possible, so as to respond to consumers' new-loving psychology and demand changes with product changes.

2. The location of the store is very important. In order to ensure tourists, shops should choose lots with a large number of people and young people, such as busy business districts, around schools and near cinemas with large passenger flow.

3. Nowadays, consumers pay great attention to food hygiene, so shops must be neat and clean. Candy and dried fruit should be packed in simple transparent packaging, so that guests can clearly see the real appearance of the food, including its freshness and color.

4. Pay attention to the placement of goods. High-end food can be placed on the top shelf. This kind of food is aimed at white-collar workers who pay attention to the brand, and your essence is not expensive; The mid-range price is placed in the middle of the shelf, which is convenient for ordinary consumers to choose; At the bottom of the shelf, children's favorite snacks such as lollipops and wave candy can be placed.

5. Food packaging should have its own style, taking into account the preferences of different consumer groups. Exquisite packaging can increase the added value of food, make food more value-for-money, and thus attract more young people with certain spending power. Nowadays, many young white-collar workers come for exquisite packaging, and they won't care even if they spend more money.

6. Know how to use holidays to expand market share. Although there is no seasonal difference in the consumption of snacks, the peak period of sales is relatively concentrated, such as the Spring Festival, May Day, National Day and the usual weekends. The seasonality of candy such as chocolate is more obvious, and the sales volume is low in summer, but when it enters the cool season, the sales volume will rise rapidly. Before and after Valentine's Day every year, the sales of chocolate and candy will be multiplied several times. Purchase channel of imported food
