Halloween Promotions with Envisage

We work with clients to make the most of their marketing campaigns and strategies so that their businesses are successful. Halloween is a great time for staging a promotion but if you are stuck for ideas, the team at Envisage have come up with some great suggestions!

Why do seasonal promotions work?

There are many opportunities in the year that your business can hook a promotional event too. The festive season for many retailers is the main selling point, Valentine’s is a great hook for promotions as is Easter as well as Halloween.

By using these times of the year as the hook, you are tapping into the mindset of the customer. Around Halloween, for example, customers will be in the frame of mind for autumn with Christmas following closely on the heels – and that means as a business, you can harness remind customers what a fantastic brand you are.

How to make more of Halloween

There are many ways you can attract customers this Halloween. Why not try…?

#1 Decorating your shop and website

From adding a cluster of pumpkins to an autumnal window display to enjoying the fun side of this annual ritual on your website, the smallest of details can have an impact you want. Don’t forget to join in some of the hashtags used online too, especially on social media. By harnessing this, you can push your promotion in front of customers.

#2 Halloween flash mob

Creating a real buzz comes from promotional activities that grab everyone’s attention. So why not hire a flash mob or crowd of people to belt out a song with fantastic dance moves? It draws attention and you’ll find that it – and your brand – get shared online multiple times.

#3 Costumed performers

Similar to the flash mob idea and with just as much impact are costumed performers. They can mingle with your customer demographic, give out leaflets and other marketing material and so whilst dressed as ghoulish spectres or warty witches. Great for bringing customers to your door, they are also great for in-store events too.

#4 Host an event

From scary story time for kids to an autumn fashion show with a Halloween flavour to it, hosting an event at this time of year can be a great set up for the festive season.

Hiring hospitality staff can see the whole thing run even smoother than you thought it could.

Everyone has a drink, everyone has a great time, everyone samples the canapes and everyone leaves with a goody bag – what a great impression for your customers!

#5 Reverse treat, with no trick!

Trick or treat is a staple of the Halloween season but turn it on its head with a giveaway. Hire a team of temporary sales staff to make sure everyone gets a branded freebie as well as some other marketing material that gets your brand, products and services out into the wider world.
