But how can you do so with every other eCommerce store aiming for the same? Let me help you out. Use these simple yet effective ideas to make the most out of this Halloween for your eCommerce business:??

1. Provide free gifts that can be shared as Halloween gifts

Providing discounts and offers work for everyone, yes. However, it has become a commonplace, so much so that it does not entice most customers. They can go to any store and find discounts, right?

However, you can stand out by distributing items that are perfect halloween gifts. It can be Halloween-themed merchandise, furniture, or even stationery - all that matters is a free gift.

2. Spookify your store for an immersive experience

With the market filled with eCommerce apps, how will buyers know you have made special arrangements for Halloween? By making your app theme revolve around Halloween of course.

Start by presenting a welcome Halloween-themed pop-up that mentions your discounts and offers. You can also modify the CTA, Searchbar, and Homepage Slider accordingly.

3. Promote your arrangements over social media

Social media is the ideal medium to let your audience know what’s going on with your brand. Use platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc. to promote your sales, discounts, offers, and free merchandise.

You can even run a Halloween-themed campaign to maximize your reach. Make sure to use those Halloween hashtags to reach the maximum users.

4. Host a giveaway that involves user engagement?

Want customers to be involved with your brand during the busiest time of the year? Stand out by conducting a giveaway that offers Halloween-themed gifts.

You can establish any process to choose the winner, be it based on sales, invites, or any other metric; as long as it benefits your brand.

5. Create a short spooky video?

Yes, I have mentioned social media involvement already. However, video marketing takes a completely different approach than standard marketing.?

Short videos are the norm nowadays, which is obvious seeing every social media platform dedicating resources to promote short videos. TikToks, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and the list goes on.

Create a banger spooky video and keep it under a minute. Make sure the video relates to your brand, Halloween, and promote it on every video-based platform.

That’s all for now folks. Implement the ideas for a highly engaging Halloween, and even upcoming festivals.
