     PRODUCT POSITIONING

     e.g. Kisses, though priced higher, sells more than other
     choclates, presumably due to quality.

     •Seasonal product

     •Packaging: this being predominantly an impulse driven
     purchase category, packaging is an important mode of
     attracting attention at the display counter.
