Who buys chocolate
Chocolate is bought overwhelmingly as a gift — for a hostess, a holiday, a client — which means presentation, sets and personalisation matter more than the individual product. Corporate gifting is a substantial and seasonal business that almost nobody offers as a page with prices and lead times. Delivery in hot months is a genuine constraint that most makers handle by refusing rather than by explaining what is possible.
What we build for a chocolate maker
First, gift sets and boxes presented as products, since that is how the category is actually bought. Second, corporate gifting with branding options, minimum orders and lead times, the highest-value seasonal business. Third, seasonal pre-orders with deadlines, because holiday demand arrives all at once and cannot be absorbed reactively. Fourth, delivery conditions in heat stated honestly, including packaging and seasonal limits, rather than a refusal that loses the customer.
