At Easter, the desire for chocolate warms retail, and the Cocoa Show is transforming this high demand into digital growth. Its own application has consolidated itself as one of the main sales engines of the brand, going beyond a simple purchase channel to become an ecosystem of relationship and loyalty. In 2024, the app reached the first place in the download rankings in the Google Play Store during the Black Friday holiday, proving its strength and relevance in the market.
“Our app is more than a sales tool.It is an essential point of contact for our customers, where we can integrate the Cocoa Lovers experience and offer personalized communication and engagement journeys”, explains Anderson Nakandakare, New Channels Senior Manager at Cocoa Show.

While many retailers are still seeking to balance physical and digital sales, Cacau Show has already positioned its app as a strategic pillar for omnichannel.
