Healthy snacks make good business sense

Published: 11 December 2024

A 2022 study by researchers at ΒιΆΉΙη Desautels revealed that when shoppers were offered a promotion that gave them a choice between a healthy snack and a pastry with their coffee, sales of healthy snacks increased by more than 1000%. β€œIf you put the choice in the hands of the consumer, a significant number of them will make the right choice,” says Maxime Cohen, Professor of Retail and Operations Management and Director of Research at the Bensadoun School of Retail Management. β€œAnd because of the high profit margins on the coffee, the promotion is profitable. Everyone is a winner.”
