Halloween SMS Marketing Inspiration for Shopify Merchants
Halloween is much more than a fun holiday filled with candy, pumpkins, scary movies and campfire stories. Shoppers look forward to Halloween to get a big bank for their buck because they know the holiday delivers that.
For that reason (and many more), Halloween provides insanely large revenues for stores that take part in all the fun.
Research predicts about $9 billion is about to be spent in 2018 and a record high Average Spending per Buyer of $86.79.
Question is, how do you plan on getting a piece of that action?
Preparing a huge sale needs good planning, so we decided to give you a little hand and some ideas on how to get started.
What makes SMS promotions a successful marketing strategy this Halloween is that text messages are:
-
Extremely affordable
-
Direct and personal
-
Easy to read and actionable
-
Your way of standing out from the competition
