A report of total spending during Halloween (2005 – 2022) by the National Retail Federation (USA)

Halloween is one of the most significant celebrations in the US and CA markets that can help businesses devote particular attention. This day is considered a potential sales opportunity for the e-commerce market, especially when the online shopping trend has accounted for nearly 76% of consumer behavior(1).

With an estimated $10.6 billion in spending(2)  and nearly 70% of people planning to celebrate, the holiday assures significant revenue growth. It gives a good kick-start for the upcoming festive season (Christmas and New Year).

With an estimated $10.6 billion in spending(2)  and nearly 70% of people planning to celebrate, the holiday assures significant revenue growth. It gives a good kick-start for the upcoming festive season (Christmas and New Year).

Aside from online shopping, customers tend to use mobile platforms for various behaviors. These interactions are the ideal touchpoints to build a sales funnel:

  • Comparing prices of products or services on their phones(3).
  • Learning more about product information.
  • Accessing products more visually through pictures and videos.
  • Checking product review.
  • Sharing personal experience.

These numbers helped IMP design a Halloween campaign focusing on the mobile experience for a client in the cosmetic field. The strategy was driven by real-time data analytics, in which more than 80% of revenue comes from mobile devices.

Since more than 80% of customers purchase through their phones, optimizing this platform experience in Email Marketing is necessary.
