Sweet Inspirations

About Us

We got our start in 2003 after ordering coffee in a prominent New Zealand café.  The coffee arrived together with two mints and a sad square of chocolate melting into the saucer.  Our immediate reaction was “Why?”   Why should an iconic business be giving away mints wrapped in third-party advertising rather than its own?  It was from this simple observation that our idea was born.  In the months that followed, we investigated the market in New Zealand and uncovered great demand for reasonably-priced brand enhancers such as our custom flow-wrapped confectionery.   We set our business up to specialise in this niche, and have concentrated on it almost exclusively.

Sweet Inspirations is a family-owned and run business, working alongside a great team of licensees and resellers across New Zealand and Australia.  We are responsive and flexible, and will bend over backwards to exceed your expectations.  Contact us to see what we can do for your brand!

"It never ceases to amaze me that companies spend millions to attract new customers (people they don’t know) and spend next to nothing to keep the ones they’ve got! Seems to me that these budgets should be reversed!"

"We take most of the money that we could have spent on paid advertising and instead put it back into the customer experience. Then we let the customers be our marketing."

“A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so.”

"The single most important thing is to make people happy. If you are making people happy, as a side effect, they will be happy to open up their wallets and pay you."
