Keyword research can help

Usually, businesses begin campaigns by late September or early October. But some start as early as the end of August. The fact is timing your campaigns right can make all the difference in the success of the campaigns.

 

These campaigns must also be optimized to the platform they are meant to play out at! You could do this in a number of ways namely:

 

  • Run email marketing campaigns that build curiosity and enthusiasm in your target audience way before the real event marketing starts.
  • Themed social media campaigns with intriguing Halloween offers starting from the end of October.
  • Google Ads with Halloween relevant keywords and loaded with special discount offers for a limited period could add to the festive enthusiasm.

 

Halloween is an occasion that brings together people in the most unique way! Whether it’s scary decors or trick or treating, add to the festivities by scaling up your sales this Halloween with these amazing tricks!
