Moderation and Quality: Responding to the "Well-Being" trend of January

After the euphoria of the holidays, your customers are seeking comfort, but in moderation. The demand for hot drinks, sophisticated mocktails, and less sugary options explodes in January. For professionals, the challenge is to respond to this trend without compromising on flavour or profitability.

Discover how to use Syrra syrups to offer healthy, comforting, and quick-to-make drinks, perfect for the start of the year.

Effective Selling: Comfort, Taste and Low Sugar

The advantage in January is to offer a product with a "rich" taste without being heavy. Syrra syrups, less sweet and more intense, allow for minimal dosing for maximum impact.

The advantage of "Soothing" flavours

  • VanillaThe universal aroma of comfort. Its roundness allows for less sugar to be used than traditional syrups for the same sweetness effect.

  • HazelnutA rich taste (praline/dried fruits) that gives the impression of a dessert without the heaviness of chocolate.

  • Mint:Perfect for the digestive and "detox" aspect sought after the holidays.

Professional Applications "Lightness"

These recipes are ideal for continuous service, with low dosing directly responding to your customers' search for lightness.

Sales Lever No. 1: The Health & Margin Argument

  • Cost Control : The intensity of Syrra allows for less syrup (15 ml) to be used compared to the competition, which increases your margin on January sales, even if prices are more moderate.

  • Efficiency : These drinks require minimal preparation time.
