If you're going to run special promotions on Halloween, make sure you go ahead and keep your customers aware at least 2-3 weeks earlier, that you're gonna have big promotions, fun gifts or good deals for them on the holiday week. Here's how by using giftcards:
Idea: about 2-3 weeks before Halloween sales, send to whoever buying on your store a special giftcard (could be value or percentage discounts, free gifts, free shipping…) which will become valid on the Halloween week (or whenever you want to run your promotion sales campaign).
Tips:
Gift cards will encourage customers to come back to your store on the sales week to purchase, because they know beforehand they can save a lot of money if shopping with you instead of shopping somewhere else.
