In the inaugural Mars Tricks, Treats and Trends report conducted by Ipsos, [Mars Wrigley](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-halloween-candies) found that 78% of consumers say they are most anxious about running out of candy. To treat the top cause of Halloween anxiety, the candy pop-ups will be stationed in Philadelphia, PA and Westfield, NJ so that candy lovers can stop by, phone in a request and get an instant candy refill. Candy lovers celebrating beyond these markets will also get support from the M&M's Rescue Squad, thanks to a partnership with [Gopuff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-creme-frozen-creamers). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 29% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **On-demand Refill Services:** Pop-up booths providing instant candy refills cater to real-time consumer demands and mitigate common holiday anxieties. - **Hyper-localized Support:** Targeting specific areas with high candy demand, these initiatives demonstrate the effectiveness of localized marketing strategies. - **Collaborative Delivery Networks:** Partnerships with delivery services like Gopuff enable wider reach and support, creating more resilient supply chains during peak seasons. ### Where This Applies - **Retail:** The retail industry benefits from innovative solutions like candy refill pop-ups that enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. - **Event Services:** Event services can adopt similar strategies to ensure the seamless execution of holiday events by addressing supply shortfalls in real time. - **Logistics:** Logistics providers can explore partnerships that deliver specialized last-minute supplies to consumers, improving operational efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy Emergency Squads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mms-halloween-rescue-squad.md) - [Expansive Halloween Candy Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-halloween-candies.md) - [Texture-Packed Halloween Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-mars-halloween.md) - [Halloween-Inspired Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-lineup.md) - [Candy-Themed Doorbell Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mms-and-ring.md) - [Early Autumnal Chocolate Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-chocolate.md) - [Halloween-Inspired Candy Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mms-mad-scientist-mix.md) - [Candy Bowl Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trickortreatable-costume.md) - [Seasonal Halloween Marketing Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welchs-fruit-snacks-1.md)
