The Story Behind This Day
What happened at the The Belgian Waffle Co.’s stores last year was totally unexpected for them. On 19th July, 2022, all their stores were packed with people and ultimately all the waffles were sold out. And thus, 19th July came to be their annual National Waffle Day.
The Sweet Launch
They saw their chance and took it. With Chandrayaan-3’s lunar mission launch, every brand got to work in order to make the best of that trending moment. The Belgian Waffle Co. definitely knew what they were doing!
Let’s take a look at some of the noteworthy Waffle Day posts done by them in the past two weeks:
The most interesting twist to the usual reel format of tagging your friends and asking them to get you a waffle. The best recipe to gain engagement, this reel has over 7.4M views.
What’s the best way for a brand to convey that they have multiple outlets across the country while depicting the current weather conditions as well and also promoting their offer? Take notes.
Reiterating the USP of ‘Get any waffle at only Rs. 100‘, The Belgian Waffle Co. showcases it in the best way.
As per a report by Social Blade, their followers increased by 12k in the duration of this campaign, out of which, 3.5k increased on the day of the offer and their engagement rate is now at 38%.
