Step 5- Exploit the Free Social Media; before doing anything, just remember that only a highly-engaged fan base is more likely to make purchases. Unlike other business portals, Facebook is most likely to bring orders, so highly focus on Facebook and Instagram.

Use all what excites the potential buyers, i.e.:

  • XX% discount
  • Bundle offers
  • Loyalty points
  • Coupons for future purchases
  • Contests

Step 6- Do Not Forget Paid Advertising; yes, you do need it to let your message travel to a broader segment, but again you need to be wise on selecting the mediums. Never forget mobile ads!

Step 7- Leverage Email Marketing; have a foolproof email marketing strategy for the season, use the highly effective email marketing tools, send out email blasts for each offer, urge them to make purchase by sending reminders, tell them when an offer is about to end. Know your products/services well to craft urging messages accordingly!

Step 8- Invest More on Customer Support; remember, when you intend to multiply your sales, you must have to incur an extra effort. As a business that might be limited in its resources, having live chat on your site 24/7 (or 24/5) isn’t always a viable option, but what you can do is to have it for the season at least. Alternatively you can also offer phone support for extended hours.

As a small business or a startup, you may not have a high marketing budget, but you can always make sure to integrate the Halloween spirit into your business by letting your creativity serve the purpose!
