Sales Hack – Sweets for Change

Sweets and candy companies have come out with a great sales hack for selling their products. This has in fact become very standard in most retail stores here.

When I go to the supermarket to buy something, I select what I need and go to the cashier to make the payment. If I do not have exact change, and there is a little change to be taken back (usually under Rs. 5), more often than not the cashier tends to give me sweets for the same amount. Since the amount is not significant, most people don’t question this. If you look at it collectively, sweet makers must be generating good revenue from this strategy of giving ‘sweets for change’
