Why You Should Consider a Halloween Campaign


  • Halloween consistently ranks in the top 5 amongst most marketing surveys as one of the most popular and lucrative holidays of the year, bringing in billions of dollars in revenue in the US alone.
  • SMS gets straight to a customer’s mobile inbox with an open rate that is as high as 98%, making it a perfect opportunity to personalize a message or offer specific product recommendations. You can even host a fun contest!
  • Halloween is a fun holiday that allows consumers to get creative and express themselves, which is an ideal opportunity to dive into conversational commerce through SMS. Don't miss out on the fun!

Here are some recommended considerations for your Halloween campaigns:

  • Use these campaigns to test ahead of HalloweenTry out different approaches, like an MMS vs SMS campaign, and send each campaign to a different A/B testing group.
  • Get specific with segments and products. Play up personalizations either with a specific customer segment (i.e., new vs. returning customers) or with products.
  • Try out different calls to action (CTAs). Offer limited-time offers or deadlines on a promotion code (i.e., Offer ends tonight) and see which has a better engagement rate.
