Tootsie Pops Sold My House!

Yes fellow readers, yes- you are reading this correctly. Just as the customer of a bank smiles when given a lollipop, home buyers enjoyed their experience at Chateau Parkhill better than any other home because we provided Tootsie Pops for them.

Of course a fair price and my anal-retentive cleanliness were factors in the sale as well, but nothing says, "Remember Me" like a Tootsie Pop!

Do you have any clever ways of using candy to generate a sale? Keep a customer loyal? Say "Thank you"? Let me know what worked for you- send me your comments.

Sell Your Home with Candy!

My beautiful North Scottsdale, AZ home is on the market. I have researched all the important "to dos" when getting your home ready to sell and I have come up with one idea that the experts have missed....CANDY!

Lose the cookies and the soft music- let's talk Tootsie Pops, Jelly Beans (individually wrapped of course), Riesens (because everyone loves chocolate and caramel), and perhaps even Bit-O-Honey. Using wholesale candy as a marketing tool is a great idea to make shoppers happy.

The Bulk Tootsie Pop- this says, "Come in, stroll around, take your time and enjoy your lollipop while you contemplate how wonderful your life will be once you buy this house!"

The Jelly Belly Jelly Bean- this little treat tells your home buyer, "Look at how beautiful this home is! Enjoy some lovely little jelly beans as you peruse the house and decide how you will decorate it when you move in."

Riesens- chocolate is always a great handout. It says to people, "Greetings future homeowner! Indulge your tastebuds in chewy, chocolate caramel as you indulge yourself by picturing your family in this lovely new home!"

Last, but not least, the Bit-O-Honey- a taste of childhood memories will encourage people to buy, buy, buy!

So give candy a shot at luring in the crowds. The offer you have been waiting for is just a Tootsie Roll away!

Happy home buying.....

Oscar Party Ideas!

Yes, it is that time of year again!  Time to place your bets and see who is going to take home that amazing golden statue!  Will it be one of your favorite stars or movies?  It would be much more fun to find out while throwing an amazing Oscar Party!  I just went to a birthday party with a "Celebrity" theme and it was a blast!  I think with a few minor changes it would be great for an Oscar Party too!

If you want to go all out then ask your guests to dress as their favorite actor/actress! It is hilarious to see who everyone picks and how they channel the stars style!

Every star needs a red carpet!  Lay one out on your walkway and put some gold stars with your friends names on them along the way to your front door!  Keep the stars going by hanging them all over the house!  Add some twinkle lights and everyone will feel like a STAR!

Don't forget the CANDY!  We have great Oscar candy for your party!  Check out our Werther's Original Butter Toffee wrapped in GOLD!  Perfect for the Oscars!  We also have Gold wrapped chocolate coins, USA Bubble gum coins and delicious Hospitality Money Mints wrapped in "money" wrappers!  You know how celebrities love to throw around their money!

And what would a super star be without their own star!  Take a look at our Twinkle Star Lollipops!  Adorable!

With so much to choose from you can have some great "swag" for all your celebrities! 

Have a great time at the Oscars!

HOW TO SAY "I'M SORRY!"

Now it is not often, but sometimes I am wrong and have to say "I'm Sorry!" to my husband.  I discovered that candy is an amazing way to do it!  I remembered one time my husband said how much he LOVES Bit-O-Honey so I grabbed him a little baggy full and brought them home the other day.  All I had to do was place the baggy in front of him and all was right in the world again!  Here are a couple of other ways to say "I'm Sorry" with candy!

1.  Did you forget your anniversary?  Dove Chocolate Promisesare a delicious way to say I "Promise" to remember next year!!  It will also be much more difficult for your spouse to remain mad at you if they are eating a delicious chocolate treat!

2.  Do you need to say "I'm sorry for not being nice to your parents...again!"  Riesen chocolates will make them forget everything!  Just say this is the "Riesen" that you love me and I promise to do better next time!

3.  Did you forget to program the coffee maker again?  Present your loved one with Now & Laters!  You will remember "Now & Later" to always have the coffee brewing for a great morning!
