“The indulgent hamper promotion was very successful for us, it really helped our overall Christmas sales of Cottage Delight we ended the year being 30% up – a great achievement.”
We found the good price point was key and the flexibility of Cottage Delight for top up orders was great, it meant we were always in stock. The success has lead us to take more everyday range as customers now want the products throughout the year.
-Sarah Bowman, Buyer for Fenwicks at Canterbury
“We are a hamper business and choose only the best when selecting a company to work with, one that our customers will love, which is why we choose Cottage Delight.”
The gift hamper packaging is superb, the Kraft theme makes them really eye-catching for our customers. We received some great feedback how beautiful they looked and tasted.
-Joshua Burchall, Owner for JMB Global
“The nibble promotion pulled people to taste the products.”
Christmas went well for us but we did a lot of work to assist sales. We made a special area and held Christmas Markets throughout November with these we held tastings. The nibble promotion pulled people to taste the products – they were received well and we people couldn’t resist picking a packet or two up alongside other product.
– Buyer/manager from HFS Tarporley
“We just love these stands, easy to stock and easy to change depending on the season.”
We added festive flavours and consumers easily picked up the offers. With the new look and gift bag this year I am sure they will be even more successful.
-Buyer/manager from Sawers
“The Duo promotions when built into large displays really draw the attention of the consumer.”
We pride ourselves on how great our promotions look and this shows with how good our sales were in the festive period. It makes it very easy for consumers to help themselves and pick up multiple lines. With popular themes and bestselling products it’s no wonder our customers choose this promotion.
-Lesley, Buyer from Dunbar
“With the mixture of traditional and seasonal flavours the trio promotion is very popular.”
We place the promotion on its own table and make use of the free point of sale Cottage Delight provide to make it clear to customers what the offer is. When we placed our first order we decided to hold tastings so our customers could try before purchasing. They proved popular as they helped sell off the display and we quickly placed another order to replenish the stock.
-Buyer/manager Wheatcroft Garden Centre
“I like to stock Cottage Delights as the quality and that the majority of products are gluten free.”
We have had a gluten free area for over 2 years but recently extended the food hall and over the festive period we made an even larger section specifically for free from. We have seen continued growth and we don’t see the end of that demand going anywhere soon from the reports we see. The range from Cottage Delight has great depth and very appealing and it tastes delicious.
-Kelly, Buyer manager from Blackbrooks
“A great new product last year it was really different with the hand drawn illustrations and artisan feel they gave Cottage Delight a real point of difference – that is just what our customers want.”
“Van Hage customers love the quality of CD products across the whole range.”
We are so pleased that sales are up over 16% against last year. Our Territory Business Manager Alex and I work together on a regular basis to track best sellers, making sure they are always in stock. He also assists the team on the shop floor giving them ideas for merchandising on both the stands and tables. We organise tastings in store, featuring products such as the all butter cakes, we see significant increases in sales when these take place.
The new CD brand looks fabulous. It’s a real breath of fresh air, contrasting from the current look in a colourful, contemporary way. It still has a good homemade style feel about it, but is much more eye catching. The new point of sale is also fabulous, the cut out shapes add more dimension and the bright colours are vibrant and interesting.
-Lesa Robinson, Group Buyer, Van Hage
“Having recently developed our new food hall, we have experienced growth in this area of the business.”
Our customers love that we have such a wide variety of products including gluten free lines, which are becoming increasingly popular.
I have found Cottage Delight really easy to work with and extremely helpful, especially concerning tastings. We have tried to hold as many manned tasting as possible this year, they definitely help to raise awareness of the brand and have a positive impact on sales.
The design of the new branding is refreshing and modern. We are looking forward to sales growth as a result of appealing to a wider consumer base.
-Laura Bruce, Marketing Manager and Giftware Buyer, Warbreck Garden Centre
