Italian term or phrase: Una tira l'altra
Buona l’anguria, gustosa l’arancia. E le ciliegie? Una tira l’altra. Voli di api. Dalla Spagna con smalto (a fuoco): gli orecchini e i pendenti in oro per un’infanzia colorata e spensierata. Sennò che infanzia sarebbe?

One good thing leads to another


Explanation:
It looks to me as if this needs to be translated so that it'll attract customers.

"One good thing leads to another", or perhaps "one good thing makes you want another".
