Grabbing Customers this Halloween

An article by admin    No Comments

Simply decorating the store windows for the holidays is a thing of the past.  Lots of small business owners are thinking of creative ways to celebrate Halloween and bring in customers on October 31.

Restaurants

Restaurants such as T.G.I. Friday, Taco Bell and many other small businesses are getting creative with their menus this Halloween.  “Promotions range from cute, including Papa Murphy’s Jack-O-Lantern pizzas, to downright creepy, such as the ‘Eye Scream’ dessert at 2941 Restaurant in Falls Church, Va.,” wrote Lisa Jennings for Nation’s Restaurant News.
Clothing Stores

Some retail clothing stores are selling Halloween-type clothing in addition to their traditional inventory.  Various women’s and junior’s clothing stores are offering angel wings and head pieces for shoppers who want easily put together Halloween costumes.

Retail store owners can attempt to boost sales by offering discounts on Halloween-themed items with purchases of traditional items or vice versa.

Salons/Spas

Airbrushed Halloween designs for nails and pumpkin spa treatments are excellent ways to bring in customers to your salon/spa this month.

Manicurists can decorate nails with ghosts, witches, jack-o-lanterns and black cats.  Customers can choose pumpkin facials, massages and even aromatherapy to get into the spirit of Halloween.
