Fall is an exciting time of year. Not only is the weather a perfect mix between cool and warm, but you can create awesome fall and Halloween themed giveaways for your customers. With a fool-proof marketing strategy and tools in place, a fall-themed giveaway can help your company achieve its marketing goals.
Here are some tips for creating and marketing great, themed giveaways for your business this Halloween and Fall:
1. Set Detailed Goals
Before you can even think about marketing a giveaway to an audience, you need to think about the objective of running the giveaway in the first place. Do you need to boost your brand awareness, make sales, or grow your email list?
2. Determine a Realistic Deadline
Your audience will need a clearly defined start and end date for the giveaway. This creates a sense of urgency for your audience and increases the chance of people taking advantage.
3. Stick to the Rules
If you’re going to market your giveaway on social media, make sure you adhere to their rules and terms. Remember to word your campaign just right to avoid your ad or post from being disapproved.
4. Take Advantage of Halloween
Halloween is a fun time for children and adults alike. What’s more, thinking of ways to purchase themed merchandise can be really frustrating for consumers, so you can leverage that and make the whole process a lot easier for them! They’ll thank you for it.
5. Create Prizes to Match
Naturally, as much as you’re marketing Halloween, you also want to market your brand. So, make sure your items match the theme and vice versa. It’s no use giving away something if it doesn’t match your brand!
