Sweet & Salty Success: How Kettle Corn Can Pop Your Profits
An irresistible blend of sweetness and saltiness, kettle corn is both a crowd pleaser and profit maker for agritourism venues. Here are some tips to make it a best-seller:
- Start with the right corn. For big, fluffy kernels that hold up and coat beautifully, Monster Mushroom popcorn is your go-to.
- Mix up the flavors. Add variety with Glaze Pop® flavors like caramel, chocolate, red cinnamon, cherry pink, blue raspberry, grape, and caramel apple. Ideal for seasonal or themed events.
- Offer multiple sizes. From individual grab-and-go bags to jumbo family-sized options, variety in portion sizes means more sales opportunities.
- Use strategic placement. Create eye-catching displays near checkout to encourage impulse purchases.
- Let them taste it. Sampling is a powerful tool. Just one bite is often all it takes to turn a browser into a buyer.
