5 Tips for Creating Bar Mitzvah Candy Displays

A Bar Mitzvah is an exciting event in a Jewish boy’s life, and it only makes sense to make it a memorable one. The guest list, food and drinks, entertainment – these are all important things to consider when planning a memorable Bar Mitzvah, but know that you can add even more options when you decide to create a candy display for your Bar Mitzvah.

Tip #1: Evaluate Your Environment

As you begin creating a candy display for your Bar Mitzvah, the first thing you need to do is evaluate the amount of space you have to work with. This space – along with the other kinds of fixtures (tables, chairs, entertainment areas) and foods and drinks – will help you determine how much candy you can display and the kinds of fixtures you can use to display it.

Tip #2: Consider Your Guests

The Bar Mitzvah is all about the guest of honor – traditionally, a 13-year-old male. Chances are high there are going to be numerous guests that are his same age, or close to his same age. Obviously, this means you want to choose candy items that are going to appeal to teenagers and maybe even younger children.

Keep in mind, of course, that many of the parents or guardians of these children are also going to be in attendance, which means you should choose candy items that will appeal to adults, also. For these guests, you might want to consider gourmet candies such as chocolate-covered pretzels or almonds.

NOTE: Be aware of any of your guests’ special diet needs. You might need to make sure to include sugar-free candies in your displays.

Tip #3: Browse the Variety of Available Candy

If you choose a well-established candy distributor, your candy selection will seem endless! From fun, novelty candies to gold-label gourmet chocolates, you’ll be able to browse candy products suitable for all age groups.

Tip #4: Determine the Best Candy Fixtures

Just as there are numerous kinds of candy available for your Bar Mitzvah candy display, there are numerous kinds of candy fixtures available for your candy display!

The kinds of candy fixtures you choose will depend on the conclusions you’ve reached based on the first three tips: your environment, your guests, and the candy products you choose.

1. Candy Containers: You can find individual containers in plastic, acrylic, and glass in shapes like round, square, and fish bowl. You can also find wire mesh baskets and wooden baskets for candy displays.
2. Display Fixtures: If you don’t have any fixtures, such as countertops, tables, or other tools with flat surfaces on which to display your containers, check into available display fixtures like traditional convenience store racks, wire display racks, and wire mesh or wooden basket display racks.
3. Pre-Filled Candy Displays: These candy display fixtures are perfect for event organizers who either don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to creating displays from scratch or who aren’t sure how to even begin creating a candy display. You can find bucket display racks pre-filled with popular and novelty candies, gumball machines, lollipop trees, and more to help you achieve attractive candy displays without much work!

Tip #5: Make Plans for the Leftovers

You may or may not have leftover candy left, but you’ll definitely have candy display fixtures left over. Make plans ahead of time for what you’ll do with these fixtures as well as any leftover candy. Chances are, you’ll have volunteers who’d be more than happy to take the candy home, but you might need to think outside the box when it comes to the display fixtures. You can always sell the fixtures, but you might also want to consider donating them to local charities or non-profit organizations, or area businesses that can always use extra display tools.

How Can You Use Fishbowl Containers in Your Business?

Long gone have been the days that clear fishbowl containers were intended solely for holding fish. These days, a number of businesses use fishbowls to display merchandise, collect tips, and overall make their customers’ experiences more convenient.

These tasks become even easier thanks to the variety of sizes and styles. Depending on the purpose of your fishbowl you can find small, medium, and large sizes, and depending on your business’s environment you can choose plastic or glass fishbowls.

Two kinds of businesses that can especially use fishbowl containers are retails stores and restaurants.

Retail Stores Use Fishbowl Containers as Display Tools

When you think of display containers for your retail store, traditional round or square containers made of glass or plastic are probably the first kinds that come to your mind; however, fishbowl containers are extremely popular choices and offer as much durability and versatility as common plastic containers.

Convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, hobby shops, gift shops, bookstores – these are all examples of retail businesses that can use fishbowl containers to better organize and display their merchandise. If you operate any of these kinds of stores, think about the following ways you can use these containers:

• Arrange fishbowl containers on your store’s countertop. Countertop displays are crucial for any business with a countertop. Fishbowl containers are available in several sizes; choose the one that best fits the countertop space you have to work with and create a display to showcase some of your store’s best add-on merchandise.

• Situate your fishbowl containers on wire display racks. Like fishbowls, wire display racks come in a variety of styles and sizes and you can find them designed for both floor and countertop display purposes. Choose fishbowl containers in sizes appropriate for your wire display racks, or order wire display racks to in sizes that will suit your fishbowls.

Restaurants Use Fishbowl Containers to Increase Customer Convenience

Fishbowl containers are excellent tools for storing and displaying merchandise, but they’re also great ways to increase your customers’ convenience if you operate any kind of restaurant, tavern, or “bar and grill” establishment.

If you manage one of these kinds of businesses, consider the following ideas for using fishbowl containers to increase your customers’ convenience:

• Situate a medium-sized, round fishbowl container at individual tables, along your countertop, or near your register to collect tips from customers. Many kinds of restaurants accept tips from customers, and these containers offer an easier and safer alternative to leaving tips on the tables or countertops.

• Use small fishbowls to hold additional meal items such as seasonings, condiments, and after dinner mints. Packets of salt, pepper, sugar, sweetener, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise fit perfectly inside small fishbowl containers and placing them on each of your restaurant’s tables helps ensure customers always have what they need.

• Use small or medium-sized fishbowls to hold non-edible items such as complimentary matchbooks with your restaurant’s logo or small drawing pads and crayons to keep children occupied while they wait for their food.
