Halloween: Are You Ready?

We don’t mean to spook you – but if you haven’t already planned your Halloween marketing campaign for 2022 then you’re close to a monster miss! Your customers won’t ghost you, of course - but it’s worth a reminder of the importance of getting things ready way in advance. That’s definitely an all-treat / no-trick way to keep them engaged, and to make sure brand awareness stays high on the way to the moment itself. October is a great time to market your business or organization using printed Halloween merchandise as everyone is naturally attuned to the occasion, and so you’ll position your brand right in the middle of all the fun!

When you know you need branded Halloween items there’s only one place to turn:  EverythingBranded. We can help you choose the right Halloween merchandise to summon up the promotional spirit. Before we offer a rundown of some of our favorites from the merch we have available, let’s recap on why Halloween is important. In other words, five killer facts you can impress your family, friends, and colleagues with…

• Pumpkins are a fruit: Yes, really. Anything that starts from a flower is botanically categorized as a fruit. So that means a tomato is also a fruit, and a cucumber is also a fruit. Neither of those have anything to do with Halloween – so why does the pumpkin?
• Pumpkins and Halloween: The connection began because Irish immigrants in the mid 19th-century brought root vegetable carving traditions over to America from their homeland. These developed into the creation of the Jack o’ Lantern – a carved pumpkin lit from within.
• Halloween is NYE: Well, not in the new times of course – but two thousand years ago each New Year began on 1^st November. The Celts believed that on the night of 31^st October the boundary between the worlds of life and death blurred, and so they lit bonfires to welcome the ghosts of the dead.
• William Shatner: Warped factor five! The legendary actor William Shatner has a weird Halloween connection. The mask worn by killer Michael Myers in the 1978 film Halloween is a kids’ Star Trek novelty mask painted white. Yes, you guessed it – it’s Captain Kirk!
• Trick Or Treat: The tradition of kids knocking on doors to ask for candy, or a surprise originates from Irish immigrants, again - though the modern thing is because manufacturers issued Halloween-themed packaging on their candies from the 1920s onwards!
