Morphology

sales + blitzkrieg

If a learner knows 'sales' and the sense of 'blitzkrieg' as a rapid, forceful attack, the compound meaning 'a sudden, intense sales campaign' is directly and predictably derived from the constituents. The military metaphor is a transparent extension (sales + rapid assault) and is cross-linguistically common, so a learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Sales blitzkrieg joins sales with the German word blitzkrieg, which paints a picture of a very fast, powerful attack that overwhelms others. So it means a sudden, intense sales push meant to 'overwhelm' competitors and 'gain customers fast'.
