“OKAY. CALICO COTTAGE. I GOT IT. BUT HOW CAN FUDGE DO ALL THAT?”
FUDGE TURNS YOUR RETAIL PAINS INTO PROFITABLE GAINS.
HERE’S HOW.
Trouble attracting more shoppers?
Fudge lures them in!
When in-store traffic is slow, frustration runs BIG. As a retailer, that’s no secret. The consequences are bad for business as well as your bottom line. You’re stuck with:
- Stale Inventory
- Wasted Labor
- Forced Markdowns
But offering a unique product like fresh-made fudge differentiates your business, and it gives shoppers a compelling reason to visit, enjoy and come back for more. What other single product does all that?
“FUDGE HAS INCREASED OUR BUSINESS, AND PEOPLE COME BACK TIME AND AGAIN. DAY IN AND DAY OUT, FUDGE IS ONE OF OUR TRAFFIC BUILDERS, AND WE’RE HAPPY WITH OUR SALES."
Trouble turning browsers into buyers? Fudge makes 'em linger longer and buy.
It’s not easy to compete against the big chain stores. But fudge can give you an edge that lets you stand toe-to-toe. Fudge lets you flex and double-down on…
- Shifting Trends
- Seasonal Celebrations
- Local Lore and Culture
… in ways that big businesses just can’t match. And when you connect, you’re consistently winning. Every day, every month, every year.
“SAMPLING FUDGE IS THE BEST MEET AND GREET IN THE BUSINESS. OUR CUSTOMERS LOVE IT AND IT’S PART OF THE EXPERIENCE. THEY’RE HAPPIER AND SPENDING MORE TIME IN-STORE SINCE WE ADDED FUDGE.”
Trouble engaging with customers? Fudge transforms transactions into interactions.
You’re always on the hunt for more interesting products. But who has the time, energy or resources to travel to gift and trade shows all over the country or browse product catalogs till you’re cross-eyed? Yet, you still need to…
- Draw More Customers
- Get Them to Linger
- Allow You to Engage and Sell
Fresh-made fudge is the answer to your troubles, and our one-of-a-kind fudge program is the industry’s only proven solution.
“THE FLAVOR OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS. WE’RE ALWAYS INTRODUCING NEW RECIPES WHICH KEEPS IT FUN AND EXCITING.”

(Best Viewed on Desktop Displays)
Get up to 70% profit on each sale
Think for a second. Scan your inventory. What single product attracts shoppers in droves, gets them laughing and talking, offers hundreds of flavors, varieties and experiences — and, oh yes…
Consistently Delivers 70% Profit Margins or Higher?
If you’re not producing and selling fresh-made fudge, then believe us, you don’t have that product. But you can have it and the program that perfects it… with one easy phone call or contact.
"I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT FUDGE COULD BRING IN THAT KIND OF PROFIT. AFTER A YEAR, I'M A BELIEVER. FUDGE IS CONSISTENTLY IN MY TOP 3 SELLING ITEMS AND IT IS THE PROFIT LEADER."
Build Revenue All Year
Shoppers sample your fudge and buy some for now. When that piece is gone, they buy more to go. And when that’s gone, they come back for more. Coming and going, you’re sales keep growing, and revenue continues to increase through:
- One-to-One Personalized Retail Experiences
- Impulse Purchases that Boost Basket Size
- Fudge Sharing, Gift-Giving and Unique Party Favors
Plus, Calico’s end-to-end fudge program offers multiple options for presenting, packaging and selling your fudge in any retail environment. And just like that, you’re earning revenue, profitably, year-round.
“FUDGE IS SO VERSATILE, FROM SEASONAL FLAVORS TO GIFTING AND WHOLESALE, THE OPPORTUNITY IS THERE TO SELL YEAR-ROUND.”
Drive Traffic & Extend Dwell Times
Fudge is that rarest of unicorn products that helps sell EVERYTHING in your store. It creates a special feeling and a sweet atmosphere of…
- Family, Fun and Friendship
- Meeting New People and Sharing Stories
- Laidback Leisure that Loosens Wallets
You’ll see it happen right before your eyes. The hustle and bustle of shoppers slow down, they dwell longer and sales go up. It’s not rocket science. But it is smart math.
“FUDGE HAS TURNED OUR STORE TO A DESTINATION. WE POST ON SOCIAL AND PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS COMING IN ASKING FOR OUR FUDGE. ONCE THEY’RE HERE THEY ALWAYS BUY OTHER ITEMS.”
Serve Up Memories
There’s nothing quite like the social experience of sampling, sharing and devouring fudge that is fresh-made right before your eyes. Like no other product you can offer your customers, fudge has the power to…
- Stir Up Warm and Welcome Emotions
- Evoke a Craving for Bygone Days
- Create New Memories with Every Morsel
Turn your store into the talk of the town and a favorite destination for tourists, locals and communities nearby. They’ll be proud to support your business. Bite after bite.
“I see families sharing and laughing and taking photos, creating memories that will last a lifetime — right at my fudge counter."
Enrich Your Brand
Your name. Your fame. Your gain. That’s the private label punch of building your own brand of irresistible, premium fudge. And since fudge is a confection, not a candy, the best way to sell it is freshly made, onsite, with your own branded label. This means…
- It’s Your Logo Printed on the Box
- It’s Your Store that Customers Buzz About
- It’s Your Fudge that People Praise and Crave
Only ONE PARTNER provides the product, the team and the complete program to make your fudge operation a moneymaking machine. A distinct, consistent and profitable success. The Calico Cottage way.
“NOT ONLY DO WE MAKE OUR OWN FRESH FUDGE, BUT IT’S BRANDED WITH OUR NAME. I LOVE THAT!”
