Who here looks forward to Halloween? Carving pumpkins and costume parties. What about a scary-movie marathon? It’s almost that time of year again: The spooktacular season when you can’t walk down the street without seeing your neighbor’s Halloween decorations, when king-size candy bars are calling your name, and when you start planning how to outdo all your amazing costumes from previous years! Halloween is all encompassing on Snapchat; every moment is captured, shared, and celebrated.
It’s never too soon to prepare for Halloween.
Even before the spooky season hits, Snapchatters turn to their friends for inspiration, using AR try-ons to ask for the best advice on what gets them into character. On Snapchat, brands have the opportunity to capture engagement early and often, using Snap AR tools to create immersive experiences that make an impact throughout the season. Halloween conversations spark in mid-September and continue leading up to October 31st, so make sure your brand stays top-of-mind the entire time.
Don’t get ghosted: Snap AR turns browsers into shoppers.
You'll inspire Halloween shoppers with AR! From product visualization to trying on the latest makeup trends, engaging interactions with your brand drive shoppers to feel confident about their purchases for Halloween and help them celebrate all the spooky fun with their communities of close friends and family.
How can your brand be there when it matters most?
Snap AR plays a unique role in each phase of the purchase journey. It’s been shown that, when combined with video, AR helps to boost positive association and purchase intent with a brand.5 With AR, Halloween shoppers can virtually interact with a product or service, spending more time with your brand and having more reasons to share Snaps with friends to get their opinion on what haunting purchases they are making for the season.
