A few days before Easter weekend, Twitter reveals some tips for optimizing your Easter 2022 marketing campaign. It’s not too late now, there’s still time to get started!
Easter, an important event in marketing
This year Easter Sunday will be on April 17th followed by Easter Monday. This is one of the most important dates to remember in the social media calendar of 2022. Synonymous with egg hunts, family meals and of course chocolates for kids, this event is an opportunity to launch a marketing campaign.
Chocolate makers specifically make more than half of their annual turnover Between Christmas and Easter, chocolate is the quintessential holiday product. In the form of eggs, rabbits or chickens it continues to seduce the French like every year. According to a 2017 survey, Two out of three French people buy chocolate on Easter, And if 45% of them would buy it for their spouse, 52% declared that they would buy it for themselves and 55% for their children as well.
Other significant figures, 97% of them say they prefer this product with a consumption of 7.6kg per year, including 4.3kg in pills – that is, over 21 pills per person, which is huge! This also explains why there is a huge spike as Easter approaches.
