Top 5 Flavours for Promotional Confectionery

Last Updated: 23 July 2025

When planning giveaways for an event, the flavour of your promotional confectionery might seem like a small detail—but it can make a big difference. A lolly that tastes great gets people talking and, more importantly, gets them remembering your brand.

Here are the top 5 flavours for promotional confectionery that regularly please a wide range of audiences. These aren’t random picks—they’re tried-and-tested favourites that people enjoy.

1. Strawberry 🍓

Why it Works:

You can’t go wrong with strawberries. They are sweet and always familiar, and very few people will hesitate before gobbling one or two. Strawberries always go first from the bowl, be it a hard candy, jelly, or chewy lolly.

Best for:

  • Significant events like school fairs, expos, or conferences, where you need a flavour that appeals to almost everyone.
  • General giveaways for broad audiences who prefer familiar, universally loved flavours.

2. Mint 🌿

Why it Works:

Custom mints are a bit different. It’s not about fun as much as it is about being fresh and practical. People often reach for a mint after a meal or during a long day of talking at events. It helps freshen your breath and offers a little mental reset.

Best for:

  • Corporate functions, healthcare promotions, or professional settings where a clean, fresh image is key.
  • Brands focused on well-being, clarity, and simplicity.

3. Cola 🥤

Why it Works:

Cola adds a little fun to the mix. Its flavour reminds many of us of being kids—playful, fizzy, and slightly unexpected in lolly form. That’s precisely what makes it work.

Best for:

  • Younger audiences, youth events, student giveaways, or brands with a vibrant, casual image.
  • Promotional campaigns where fun, energetic messaging is the goal.

4. Watermelon 🍉

Why it Works:

Watermelon is light and refreshing, making it perfect for warmer weather or outdoor events. It’s one of those flavours that feels refreshing without being too sweet. It also tends to look great—bright, colourful, and fun.

Best for:

  • Lifestyle, travel, or wellness businesses that want a seasonal or fresh touch.
  • Events are held in warmer weather or outdoor settings, where refreshing flavours are ideal.

5. Lemon 🍋

Why it Works:

The lemon flavour is sharp and clean, with a zing that stands out from the usual sweet stuff. It works well in sugar-free ranges or for health-focused brands.

Best for:

  • Health-conscious audiences who prefer something less sugary and more refreshing.
  • Brands that are positioning themselves as clean, simple, and health-focused.

Why These Flavours Work: Simple Yet Effective

These five flavours—strawberry, mint, cola, watermelon, and lemon—aren’t popular by chance. They’re easy to enjoy, familiar to most people, and don’t try too hard to impress. That’s what makes them effective.

  • Familiarity: People enjoy what they know. These flavours resonate because they’ve been popular for years.
  • Universality: They appeal to a broad audience, regardless of age, location, or background.
  • Simplicity: A great flavour doesn’t need to be bold or complex. It just needs to taste good.

You don’t need something wild or unusual for your promotional confectionery to work. Sticking with a flavour people know and like is often what gets the best response. When someone enjoys a treat you’ve given them, it builds a small but positive connection to your brand.

Presentation Counts, Too: Make Your Brand Shine ✨

A good flavour gets people to try your lolly, but how it’s wrapped helps them remember where it came from. That’s where we come in.

  • Full-Colour Labels: Personalise your confectionery packaging with vibrant, eye-catching labels that align with your brand.
  • Branded Wrappers: Add your logo, message, or design to wrappers to turn your promotional confectionery into a brand ambassador.
  • Custom Lolly Bags: Need to hand out multiple items at once? We offer branded lolly bags to ensure your message stays front and centre.

At Cubic Promote, we understand that presentation is just as important as flavour. When your confectionery is packaged professionally, it ensures your brand makes a lasting impression, from the first bite to the last.
