Another great way to add a spooky charm to your website is to change the fonts of your website text Adding a spectral font to your website’s tagline and heading can be quite effective in grabbing the attention of your target audience
However, you should avoid using the ghost-like font in your website’s body copy, as it could affect its readability You wouldn’t want your customers to have trouble reading your content now, would you?
While decorating your website for Halloween, if you’d prefer to opt for something more subtle and creative, you can skip the colours and add some supernatural visuals instead
Amp up your Halloween aesthetic with some fun, animated designs, such as spiders hanging from webs or zombies and ghosts wandering around your homepage
Offering holiday-specific promotions is a great way to engage with your customers You can offer a variety of discounts, especially if your website sells halloween decorations, costumes and gifts
In order to encourage your customers to take advantage of your promotions and place orders, you could also add creative and catchy call-to-actions on your website
Eerie touches like these throughout your online store are bound to create a buzz for your business
Email marketing is a great way to let your customers know about your Halloween offers and promotions Pick a Halloween email template and customise it to suit your brand
Be sure to add attractive Halloween-specific designs and images to make your email stand out from any competition You could also customise your text to promote your products and services while also reflecting the spirit of Halloween
