I. How A Halloween Landing Page Benefits Your Store
- Boost sales by creating urgency: Taking advantage of the short duration of the holiday, you can create a sense of urgency for your customers. "Buy now or you won't have another chance", "only...days left to buy these Halloween products" kind of message will encourage your customers to buy the "special products" on this occasion.
- Deliver tight messaging match: The main goal of a holiday landing page is to provide a focused area for you to display your products as a “solution” for customers’ needs or problems. It will be used to sell what customers want to buy on this occasion so that they won’t be distracted by other products. Special offers that suit the occasion will keep your customers to your products and are good for your store SEO due to higher SERF rankings.
- Define the set of customers who care about this kind of offer: You can collect their information through this landing page and analyze their purchase behaviors like why they want to buy your products, who they are, and what they need,... This will help your business a lot in tracking and improving for further promotion campaigns.
- Create a special feeling, and increase brand trust and awareness: Why though? The customers will tend to believe and make purchase decisions on the brand that are big with aesthetic design, and exclusive offers. The promotion campaign is just like the face of your store, if you invest in it, the result it will bring is unmeasurable.

Small tips to maximize your store’s sales during Holiday promotion campaigns
- Well-informed customers with a coming soon page: You can give them vague ideas of your offers and set a countdown clock. This will raise customers' curiosity and make them well-aware as well as stay tuned to your promotion campaigns.

- Personalize customers’ FOMO: It will hit their Fear of missing out on psychology. Just put some lines below your products like “Only 3 left in stocks”, “333 people have viewed this product”, “333 people have bought this product”,... Something like that with a specific number will give them the urge to purchase before it’s too late.
- Mobile-friendly: Most people spend their time scrolling the internet on their phones so the ads of your campaigns may be aware somewhere on the net. Making the landing page mobile-friendly is a must if you want people to find out more about the campaign.
- Make it simple-looking, clear and compelling CTAs: No need for many elements because the purpose of the landing page is to make your customers make quick purchases and you don’t want them to go through things that distract their attention from the products. And make sure the CTAs stand out on your landing page.
- Make sure your landing page loads real fast: Imagine when you are about to look at something to buy and the image or the web can't load. It’s really annoying just thinking about it, ain’t it?
- Cut out on the check-out process: Skip the cart and lead them directly to the check-out page. The main goal is to make a quick payment so if it has to go through many steps, it is nothing different from the main website.
- Make it festive: No need to discuss further about this. What’s the fun with a festival lacking a festive atmosphere?
