by Jess Savage, Creative ManagerPancake Day is always a flippin' great time for content creation, but which supermarket resonated most with its customers on social media this year? Maybe* analysed social media posts from popular supermarkets to find out who had the most engaging posts.
Maybe* data revealed the best-performing social media posts from supermarkets including Aldi, M&S, Tesco, and Asda.
“These figures show the power of social media and particularly the reach you can get from really engaging Instagram reels,”
“All of the supermarkets recognised the value to be gained in producing content that is not only beautifully shot but also, in guiding the viewer through a how-to recipe with the precise ingredients needed, they are providing a real incentive to go from online to in-store to make what they have seen.”
