How to Win CPG Halloween Sales
Halloween is a big deal in the CPG world, and it got pretty scary last year. As we faced the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional trick-or-treating, Halloween parties, and fall festivals got canceled, andonly 49% of households still passed out candy. It’s no surprise that CPG brands were left spooked, wondering what this Halloween might have in store. Luckily, signs point to a pretty sweet Halloween for both brands and retailers, with more than 80% of people planning to celebrate this year.
