How to Spice Up Your Messaging Campaigns this Month

Spooky season is undeniably in full swing, and it’s the perfect opportunity for retailers and brands to be witty, creative, and fun, all while maximizing their reach and sales. Here are a few ideas to help get your messaging campaigns booed up this month!

1. Run Halloween-themed contests

Contests are a great way to engage your customers and get them excited about your brand. And what better way to do that than by running a Halloween costume contest?

This kind of seasonal campaign is especially relevant for brands with physical stores. You can set up a campaign inviting customers to come to your store wearing their best Halloween costumes. The person with the best costume will receive a prize, like a free shirt or gift card. You can also make it an exclusive event for rewards program members!

You can also opt for other kinds of Halloween-themed contests, such as guessing the number of candy pieces in a jar, sharing photos of creative Halloween recipes, or anything else that you think your audience would most likely engage with.

2. Be creative with discounts and promotions

Another way to spruce up your businesses messaging this Halloween is by running themed discounts and promotions. For example, you can offer a discount on all Halloween-themed products in your store.

Bonus Tip: You can also get extra creative and witty with your promo names and campaign messages! Here are some examples to get the ball rolling:

  • Witch’s Brew Sale: 20% off all Halloween-themed products
  • Goblin’s Delight: 25% off of your purchase
  • Voodoo You Think You Are: 10% off of your online cart
  • All Of Us Are Deadheads: 20% off all products in store
  • Spook-tacular Savings: $5 off all purchases of $50 or more

3. Spice up your campaign messages

As with any marketing campaign, the messaging you use is critical to its success. So why not get creative and “punny” with your Halloween messaging?

By being witty and on-brand, you can capture attention and stand out from the competition. Here are a few examples of spooky-yet-clever Halloween messages to get you started:

  • Get your boo-gie on with our Halloween-themed products!
  • Witch way to the store? Ours is the spookiest one around!
  • Gouge-ous deals on products this Halloween!
  • Ghouls just wanna have fun . . . with smokin’ deals!
  • Get bone-afied savings this Halloween with our faBOOlous deals!

Bonus Tip: Make your messages more interactive with Halloween GIFs! GIFs are a great way to add some personality and fun to your businesses messaging, and they’re bound to get attention in a crowded marketplace.

4. Get social with Halloween hashtags

Hashtags are a powerful way to reach new audiences and get people talking about your brand on social media. So why not use them to give your Halloween messaging a boost?

There are a few different ways you can do this. First, you can come up with a unique hashtag for your Halloween campaign and include it in all of your social media posts. This will help people easily find and follow your campaign. You can also use relevant, trending Halloween hashtags in your posts to reach a wider audience.

5. Deck out your e-commerce website

Your e-commerce website is another great platform to showcase your Halloween spirit. Overhauling your website for the holiday doesn’t have to be a huge undertaking — even small changes can make a big impact.

Consider adding Halloween-themed banners and images to your homepage and product pages. You can also get creative with your product descriptions, using spooky words and phrases to describe your products.

Bonus Tip: You can do the same for your social media content or your email newsletters! Get creative with your visuals and copy to make your presence extra spooky this Halloween.
