斋月作为伊斯兰教各民族的文化传统节日，形成了一场全球穆斯林国家盛大的购物狂欢季，中东、北非则是穆斯林集中地。
Ramadan is a cultural and traditional festival of the Islamic peoples and a grand global shopping spree season, with the Middle East and North Africa being the concentration of Muslims.
通常情况下，消费者会在斋月前后两周出现季节性激增。据埃及国家天文学和地球物理研究所称，2022年斋月预计在4月2日开始，一直持续到5月2日。既是说，目前已经是消费者采购旺季，也是商家大限度提升销售额和增长机会。
Typically, there is a seasonal surge in consumers two weeks before and after Ramadan. 2022 Ramadan is expected to start on April 2 and last until May 2. It is already the peak season for Muslim consumers to make purchases and an opportunity for businesses to boost sales and growth in a big way.

因此，对于商家来说，斋月期间，除了进行一些促销活动外，在社交应用广告的投放和视频种草是不可忽视的营销方式。
按照伊斯兰教教义，斋月是一年中最圣洁的一个月，慷慨无私、乐善好施是社交媒体中的热搜词汇，因此商家可以此类词语进行产品包装，或者进行互相给予、赠送小礼物的相关活动。
Therefore, for businesses, advertising on social apps during Ramadan is a marketing method that cannot be ignored.
According to Islam, Ramadan is the holiest month of the year, and generosity and charity are buzzwords in social media, so businesses can package their products with such words, or carry out activities related to giving to each other and giving small gifts.
