OK, OK, I know this post is a couple of weeks late. Our family doesn’t observe Halloween so it wasn’t high on my list of things to blog about.
In the lead up to Halloween, I did see some great marketing ideas from a couple of business mums, so thought I’d tell you about them. I know it’s too late for 2010, but they might give you some great ideas for promoting your business in 2011.
The first idea comes from Giggleberry Creations. On her blog, she has a post about her Halloween celebrations. You can read the post here. In readiness for any Trick or Treaters that came to her door, she packaged up some “Giggleberries”, complete with her business details on them. This is a brilliant idea – it gives the kids a treat and gets her business in front of parents, her target market. The other advantage is if there are any left over at the end of the day, she can use them for other events where she needs to give out some goodies.
The second idea comes from Sambellina. They created a free printable to use to get your neighbours involved in Trick or Treating. You can view their blog post and download their printable here. Quite apart from me blogging about it, a number of my Facebook friends also commented about it and linked to it (which is how I discovered it). While they don’t have their web address or anything on the printable, simply having one is getting people talking about their site and linking to their blog so people can use this printable.

[...] Today is Halloween. It is not a day we observe in my family, even though it seems to be gaining popularity in Australia. For this reason I find it very hard to give you some Halloween marketing ideas. If you really want some ideas, check out this post from last year. [...]
