Add A Fun Twist To Your Halloween Promotions
Let’s be frank about it! Halloween is a special time of the year when anyone can get dressed in the most grotesque and disgusting manner and still get away with it. No matter whether you are a hardcore fan of Halloween spookiness or not, no business owners can overlook this holiday as a great opportunity to make their brand part of their campaign.
Here are some Halloween themed marketing tips to make the most of the ghoulish festivities
Street corner marketing
Businesses that are located on a busy area can indulge in some street smart outdoor marketing tactics. Frisbees, balloons and large inflatables will all make excellent attention grabbers. Imprint your Halloween theme on these fun toys and pull a stunt by popping a huge inflatable out of nowhere in the middle of a crowd or tossing a Frisbee! Once your team succeeds in working up a crowd, they can tell about the special Halloween offers at your stores and the gift coupons.
A themed contest
Build up the fan base of your Facebook page by hosting an online or in-store Halloween contest. Businesses can come up with a Halloween costume contest for their customers in a theme that complements their business. For instance, if you own a natural food store, a contest for the most eerie Halloween treat will make a great bet to get your audience involved with your brand. You can even announce a prize for the best theme and encourage the contestants to post their snaps in your page. This will surely get the people motivated and get them to your stores.
Online quiz programs on Halloween themes will be another option to consider. For instance it will be fun to test how many people in your audience know that it is an American custom during Halloween to collect money to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), an organization created to help the world’s children.
Bring alive the theme
Let your employees dress up in themed costumes to grab the attention of the shoppers. Make sure you have a generous supply of Halloween freebies like candies or glow in the dark sunglasses that people will love to pickup. This themed promotion is a smart way to leave the audience in splits and well entertained all the while introducing them to your brand.
Print Halloween-Themed stickers
During Halloween everyone loves to play pranks and to scare the daylights out of their friends. So, it will be a smart idea to imprint a few stickers and decals with eerie themes and images including blood, guts or bones. Include a coupon with a short expiry date that will get the entire ghosts and ghouls scurry back to your stores fast!
