3 Ways to Give Your Direct Mail a Spooky Twist

Nowadays, most people associate Halloween with ghosts, vampires, witches, and candy corn. What you may not know is that Halloween actually dates back to Celtic rituals thousands of years ago. In 2001, over 160 million people celebrated Halloween. Why not take advantage of this popular holiday with your direct mail campaigns?

Propose a treat
Send out brochures, postcards, or greeting cards with a holiday treat. Coupons for discounts, free promotions, or buy one get one deals stand out to consumers. Make sure that along with your promotion you write attention-grabbing copy to keep their focus on the piece.

Tell a story
People like stories. Make your themed mail pieces fun and interesting! Include legends of different stories or history relating to the holiday. Turn your headlines into spooky titles so that they stand out.

Give away tips
When I was little, I remember coming home from trick-or-treating and having to wait while my parents sorted through my candy. They made sure that nothing was open or suspicious looking. Parents love safety tips and ideas. If you are an agency that works with children or parents, send out direct mail promoting safety tips specifically for that holiday.
