The Drum shares marketing tips for Halloween

Marketing bible The Drum has published a column focused on helping brands as they get ready for the spooky season, looking at the best marketing tools and techniques to use for this year’s Halloween.

Titled ‘Marketing lessons for Halloween’, the column offers expert insight and opinion on the latest developments in the marketing industry and how they can help other businesses, including retailers.

Written by Will Hossner, head of account management at marketing agency Movement, the column begins by highlighting the size of the Halloween market before focusing on how best to tap into the Halloween potential.

“Halloween has evolved into an occasion in the European calendar that teens and young adults are genuinely excited by,” he says. “They now take a real, participative interest in the event and sales of Halloween-focused products, which reach hundreds of millions in the UK alone.”

Over the past two years, Movement has helped Fanta launch a Halloween campaign, resulting in a significant increase in product sales over the period. The column itself goes into more details, but some of the key points are:

  1. Combine physical and digital elements to reach a wider audience and ‘establish a solid hold on Halloween marketing’.
  2. Help customers enhance their Halloween experience – this could be by offering product, content or experiences.
  3. Don’t forget to target your social media outreach – for example, younger consumers spend a lot of time on Snapchat.
  4. Halloween is an ideal time for brands to show they have a playful, fun side which can draw consumers in for the future.
