ü The 3pc bento box is merchandised on the right side by stacking some laid flat and then creating height with some skulls being placed on the boxes and some being placed directly on the table. ü The 3 candies are featured in stacks that are merchandised in a marigold shape. This will allow for more units on the table & the 5x7 sign shows all 3 flavor profiles & pricing for ease to the customer. ü The marigold strands are adhered to the table with double-sided tape that is provided. Be sure to use a large enough strip, that can fold around the strand to hold it in.
SUGAR SKULLS BENTO $30.00 Inside this 3pc Candy Bento Box lies our magical Red Roses, enchantingly sweet Bonita Berries and shockingly tart Sugar Skulls gummies.

ü The Haunted Mansion boxes are stacked similar to the Sugar Skulls box by creating height by laying a couple down. The display box is leaning against the stock behind it as it does not fit in any acrylic holder. ü Zombie Brains are our only candy cube on this table and is stacked in doubles to see the whole body. ü For display, please add the large orange pumpkin that was used last year & mini white pumpkins dispersed on the table. If you do not have the large orange pumpkin, please use the 8x10 ‘Creepin’ it Real’ to replace it. ü The spider web bowls from previous years are also used to display tasters as we typically see a huge uptick in taster packet sales the week leading up to Halloween. (Please ensure that no 21+ tasters are featured on this table.)

SUGAR SKULLS BENTO $30.00

ü The Tea Collection moves to Hero 3, but remains the same from the original launch. ü The overall merchandising story is a modern take on tea, so the candy cubes are merchandised in blocks vs our normal 10 pyramid stack. ü Using the chocolate bar fixtures will not only get more units out, but also fit in with the modern, clean lines of the rest of the table. ü Acrylic risers are used to break up the candy cube flavors and create height around the box and acrylic chocolate bar holder. ü Please note - blue core cubes are used for placement purposes, but only tea candy cubes should be merchandised here. 8

ü Shot bottles are merchandised in bowls, but can also be merchandised in pyramids like the citrus shot bottle. ü The med & lg bottles are set in pyramids and flavors are separated to create color pops across the table. ü Please ensure the 8x10 collection sign & 4x10 price sign are both out on the table.
ü Please feature the generic pink 8x10 collection sign alongside the 4x10 price sign. ü Use the wooden crates to create height on the table & if you still have the coffee jars, use those as an added display. ü Bags are placed alternating in order to see more color & the verbiage on the side of the bags, & the cups are stacked in a pyramid.
