Top 100 Marketing Trends in April

From Virtual Fragrance Pop-Ups to Futuristic Beauty Shops

— May 2, 2020 — Marketing
Some interesting examples of branding are present in the April 2020 marketing category. This includes a lab-grown engagement ring that was made by Crystal Pepsi. Undoubtedly a clever stunt, consumers can actually win the jewel through the PepsiProposal contest.

Elsewhere amid the April 2020 marketing trends, certain fast-food restaurants are giving the breakfast menu another shot. Wendy's is boasting its breakfast guarantee which grants customers an edible gift with in-app purchases, but it also gives a 100% guarantee. If the customer does not enjoy the breakfast they got, they can exchange for a similar item the next day, free of charge.

From Benefit Cosmetic's pop-up beauty boutiques to Tesco's grocery matchmaking initiatives, the April 2020 marketing examples are nothing short of creative.
