YouTube Video Ads
The most widely used YouTube video ad is TrueView. These are pre-roll video ads with a view-through rate of 15 percent. The average cost may also run between $0.10 and $0.30 per view.
Burger King creates limited edition strategy. They made this spooky video advertising their free whopper when you come dressed as a clown in select BK stores in the US. This is great for customer service and foot traffic in house!
Snapchat Campaign
Creating limited edition products should get your target audience excited. Without changing the branding, small and large companies can take their packaging a notch higher this Halloween season. A few design changes and digital integration can really help. You can enhance your holiday marketing campaigns.
Fanta developed a creative Halloween packaging idea. This ties into limited edition strategy. They put a QR code on Halloween-themed cans, and when consumers scanned it on Snapchat, it unlocked creepy filters.
Customized Posters
Who says everything has to be digitally advertised? Just know, the best marketing strategies still focus on conventional marketing. Harley Davidson didn’t disappoint with their Sportster Forty-Eight Bike poster. It’s an image of a skull containing the various bike parts with the catchphrase: “This Halloween, treat yourself to genuine Harley-Davidson parts.”
The graphic design looks simple, but the simplicity is what makes it stand out. The overall black and grey composition, as well as the high-quality skull image convey the entire Harley Davidson branding.
Blog Marketing
Blog marketing ultimately has an extensive audience reach, especially when done the proper way. Valuable, informative, or funny content is sure to get likes and shares in a varied demographic range. Blog marketing connects consumers to companies can’t reach through emails.
Of course, the biggest challenge is to have a high click-through rate. Aside from great content marketing, the blog title should reel consumers in. Cosmopolitan gave makeup enthusiasts tips on how to create a cute cat Halloween look over your makeup.
Facebook Ad Campaign
With over 2 million Facebook users, utilizing Facebook Ads will do more good than harm to your company. Additionally, the modification and campaign adjustment features are perfect for startups.
Any ad that has the word “Free” will surely capture attention. Similarly, this is just like what Delightful Desserts did with theirs.
Instagram Ads
Acquired by Facebook in 2012, Instagram Ads also gives you a couple of media choices depending on your preference. You can choose from Stories Ads, Video Ads, Carousel Ads, Collection Ads, or Photo Ads. The average cost-per-click may range from $0.50 to $1 but may reach up to $3 for the big industry players with a hefty marketing budget.
Kylie Cosmetics never disappoints when it comes to high-quality images. This Halloween-inspired Instagram Photo Ad is for the new matte and metallic collection launch.
Twitter Ads
Twitter also gives other social networking platforms a run for their money. It works similarly with Facebook and Instagram Ad campaigns in terms of modification. Advertisers can go through three simple steps too:
- Choose the target audience
- Amplify Twitter messages and get discovered
- Set a budget and pay if users retweet, like, reply or click on promoted Tweet
Holiday Advertising In-house
Catalogs still offer amazing sales and marketing results. However, provided that the content is a cut above the rest.
Target’s marketing strategy stepped up to the plate with their holiday campaigns. It featured a young girl with an injury who dressed as Elsa from the movie, Frozen. This Halloween ad is strategic because it evokes emotions.

Outdoor Advertising
Outdoor advertising caters to a variety of audiences. Plus, it’s not limited to social media only. Whether it’s a flyer, poster, or billboard, digital immigrants will have equal opportunity to scrutinize any form of outdoor marketing media. This tool is great for exciting your existing customers about your products and services as well.
However, this Over Farm Frightmare marketing campaign invoked a different feeling for children. The Advertising Standards Authority censured their billboard and poster Halloween ad with a scary, sinister man holding a chainsaw and a decapitated head. The organization said the ad wasn’t child-friendly especially that it was next to a train station.
Come to think of it, if your billboard graphics can make this powerful impact on innocent eyes, then that means you’re on the right marketing path.
