What is this trend

Why it works

Instead of creating an ad about the products, the products are already part of the story. It’s giving brands an easy way to show off their products without making another traditional ad.

We will give you some ideas to tap into the trend:

  • A candy brand becomes the basket filler, since it is already a Halloween tradition (trick-or-treat).
  • A beauty brand becomes a Halloween self-care basket.
  • Retail brands curate several products into one gift idea.

The content answers “what should I buy” while also showing “here’s what we sell”.

The formula

  • Pick the basket concept

Purple Halloween, spooky-cute, couples, self-care, etc.

  • Fill it with products

This is where the brand naturally enters the content.

Why brands should move before Halloween peaks

Brands can tap into early searchers for boo basket ideas and Halloween gift basket ideas while people are still looking for inspiration.

Getting in early also gives brands more room to stand out before Halloween content gets crowded.
