French term or phrase: faire boule de neige
Il est question d'un texte rédigé par des spécialistes du marketing sur un nouveau pneu d'hiver. Le texte est destiné aux revendeurs :

Ainsi, les ventes du nouveau BBBBB feront certainement boule de neige !

Une idée pour rendre l'image "pneu neige - faire boule de neige" ? J'ai pensé spontanément à "Absatz wird lawinenartig explodieren" mais il y a certainement mieux...
Merci !
