Halloween is about attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and playing pranks and divination games. In the eyes of a marketer, this the beginning of one of the biggest shopping times of the year.
This time is a great opportunity for email marketers to engage with their customers and draw maximum profits out of their business. According to the National Retail Federation, Halloween spending is expected to reach $ 9.1 billion in 2017.
It is anticipated that as shoppers hunt for costumes and embellishes this Halloween, they are more likely to shop at Discount and Halloween stores. Take a look at the stats as reported by NRF’s Annual Halloween Spending Survey.
Email marketers can take up this opportunity to garner the shoppers’ attention and convert the prospects into customers by sending the right email to the right person at the right time.
