Individual UK companies that formerly produced chocolate products such as Cadbury's, Bournville, Rowantree's, Lyon's, etc., used to have the sense to give consumers a break between Christmas (boxes of chocolates and filled xmas stockings) and Easter eggs, but these businesses are merely brands that are owned by international conglomerates such as Nestle from Switzerland, or private equity groups,that are ultimately owned in the United States.

Sales managers, in order to meet financial targets, now need almost year-round consumption of their products, and are increasing inventive of methods to increase brand loyalty and a purchase.

When you next stand in a newsagents to buy your newspaper, look for the three products that are in your immediate environment to facilitate an impulse purchase: chocolate, alcohol and tobacco (now screened).

The residents of these islands are the 'biggest' consumers of chocolate products worldwide, in two related ways!

Strangely Cadbury's, Mars and Rowntrees have always had an overlap period with Christmas and Easter related products. Orders for Christmas lines were placed in June/July and delivered in October and Easter Eggs were ordered in September and delivered in early January with the exception of Creme eggs which usually arrived in mid to late December.

Bourneville didn't have a policy on the matter as they are a Village owned by Cadbury Brothers and they just happened to call one of their products after it.

I can only go back as far as the late 70's and early 80's though so can't vouch for what they did before that.

Is the yearround pressure to purchase chocolate products then mostly being whipped-up by retailers?

I agree that the Cadbury family, who were Quakers, did own the village of Bournville, and that its dark chocolate was a more niche Cadbury brand in former times.

The number of different confectionery brands on display is phenomenal; it must now be well over 100, or more.

Manufacturers have to know well in advance the level of projected demand. Wholesalers often hold trade shows in June/July and shopkeepers place provisional orders. Supplies are then sent to the wholesalers and distributed well in advance.

The big supermarket chains threw a spanner in the works when they decided collectively to sell most of the seasonal chocolate as loss leaders. Therefore they are selling them cheaper than most of the wholesalers can buy them at. Hence why the tins/tubs are so much smaller now than they used to be and why so many shops have leftover stock every year which never happened before.
