The hottest time of the year is coming. Those who have planned to make Easter Eggs in 2019, know that in addition to thinking about chocolate and fillings, they need to pay special attention to decorative items that can make all the difference in the presentation of the product and at the time of sales.
Even for those who are not thinking of selling, making family Easter Eggs is a much cheaper option than buying in stores or supermarkets and, in addition, they can be much more delicious. Those sold, can generate profits of up to 300%.
Today, with the amount of shapes, types of chocolate, materials and utensils available, it is very easy to produce Easter Eggs, but before starting production, some questions need to be analyzed:
- Define the types and flavors of Easter Eggs that will be produced: this makes all the difference when it comes to pricing and budgeting the materials that will be used;
- Calculate the costs, available budget and the profit margin that can be achieved: here should come the general budget for the items that will be used, from preparation to wrapping. Then, that account needs to match the profit target. This allows you to extract the correct value from Easter Eggs, without prejudice.
- Always compare prices: this tip applies both to the prices of industrialized products, as well as those of that small chocolate company and even the neighbor who also joined the wave and decided to sell Easter Eggs this year. Your price needs to be competitive – not too low, not too high.
Pricing Easter Eggs
To help, we put together a formula that will be a hand in the wheel when it comes to table your Easter Eggs:
- Calculate the value of the gram of chocolate, for that it is enough to divide the weight of the bar by the price you paid for it.
- Calculate how much chocolate goes in each Easter Egg, using the following formula: value of the gram of chocolate x the weight of the egg to be produced = total cost of the egg.
- Do not forget to add additional costs, such as fillings, packaging, toys or chocolates that will go inside the egg.
- Finally, add in the total amount the profit you want to obtain as a percentage.
- That done, it is easier to tabulate the value of Easter Eggs and start selling.
Types of Easter Eggs
Every year new flavors and fillings appear, from the most traditional to the most exotic, that is, there is always something new in the world of chocolates. However, there are some types that cannot be missing in your “mini factory”, that everyone likes and asks for, see what they are:
Classic Easter Egg
Milk chocolate, white, semi-bitter, with crunchy balls, anyway. Starting with classic Easter Eggs is always the best option.
Gourmet Easter Egg
The difference between ordinary and gourmet Easter eggs is in the appreciation of chocolates. For the gourmet, sophisticated, more expensive chocolates are used, as well as haute cuisine products for the fillings. Some of them usually win different versions, with a touch of unusual ingredients.
Easter Egg Truffles
In addition to being more laborious – it is as if two eggs were made on the form table – the truffled Easter Egg always gets heavier due to the filling. So don't forget to calculate this increase in the price list as well.
Decorated Easter egg for kids
It was the time when only toys made the children happy. Today, it is possible to apply sugar rabbits, carrots, flowers, stars, a multitude of beautiful and fun options to offer true works of chocolate art for children.
Easter Egg Spoon
The most delicious and fun way to eat Easter Eggs. Anything goes for the filling. Brigadeiro, beijinho, cherry, marshmallow, white chocolate. Creativity gains wings at this time. Here, the presentation is essential to leverage sales.
