Summer holiday initiatives: Planning from after Golden Week is key.

The summer holiday period is a time when consumer behavior changes significantly, including parent-child events, tourism and leisure demand, returning home, 'oshi-katsu' (supporting one's favorite idol/character), e-commerce sales, store visits, and regional tours.

To succeed in a summer holiday campaign, it is necessary not just to "implement a campaign," but to design it with the following considerations:

What kind of participatory experience to offer?

What prizes and benefits to prepare?

Which actions to connect to, such as store visits, purchases, document requests, or membership registration?

Which channels to use for participation, such as social media, advertising, in-store POPs, or QR codes?

Who is the campaign for, such as parents and children, young people, fans, or existing customers?

If implementing measures in July-August, it is ideal to finalize the plan after Golden Week and proceed with production and announcement preparations by June.

Therefore, "Croissant" is accepting planning consultations utilizing online gachas, diagnoses, and quizzes for companies and organizations considering summer holiday initiatives.

It is highly compatible with suggesting ways to spend summer holidays and product recommendations, and can also be used for SNS sharing and encouraging repeat visits.

Campaign Examples:

"Diagnosis for Your Perfect Summer Holiday Spending Style."

"Outing Type Diagnosis for Parents and Children to Enjoy."

3. Quiz and Certification Campaigns

By delivering it as a participatory experience rather than mere information dissemination, it can promote brand understanding, product understanding, and regional understanding.

Campaign Examples:

"Summer Holiday Free Research Quiz."

"Discover the Charm of Your Region Quiz."

"In-facility Quiz to Tour and Answer."

"Brand Trivia Quiz."

"Character Certification Exam."

4. Survey-Linked Campaigns

Campaign Examples:

"Survey on Places You Want to Visit This Summer."

"Post-Parent-Child Event Survey."

"Favorite Product Voting Campaign."

"Next Desired Prize Survey."

"Fan-focused Campaign Voting."
