They want to be unique. Just like you.

Instead, why not take advantage of a little-used advertising niche? Get Customized Halloween bags that pop?

Kids have to have something to carry around all those goodies around in any way, right?

So why can’t it be in a bag with YOUR company’s information?

Trick-or-Treat Goody Bag Stuffers to Impress Kids and Parents

Of course, the best way to get your bags into a kids hands for Halloween is to stuff them full of treats and give it to them.

Candy is a great Halloween bag stuffer, but at this point, it’s a little overdone. And when you want to promote your business it’s all about the wow factor.

Glow Sticks, Necklaces, and Bracelets! Oh My!

Glow sticks are loads of fun. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Many are straight sticks, but a lot are wearable.

Kids love them because they glow in the dark. Parents love them because they make their children more visible at night.

And when is that more important than when the crazy little buggers want to run around in the dark begging strangers for candy?

You can even personalize glowsticks with your business information!

Amateur photographers can even take time-lapse pictures of kids playing with glow sticks. Hang them in a Halloween Hall of Fame they can show their friends. Don’t forget to offer parents a copy.

Bubbles

Everyone loves blowing bubbles! Even adults like to do it every now and then. They are non-toxic, inexpensive and the perfect size for a Halloween treat bag!

Bubble bottles are ideal for stickers with a company logo or QR code. So they are perfect Halloween favors to promote your business.

In warmer climates, set up a safe place for kids to blow bubbles outside your storefront. Onlookers will want to be next to get their own Halloween treats.

Yo-Yo’s

About every ten to twenty years, yo-yos make a comeback. The yo-yo’s last appearance on the pop culture scene was in the late ’90s. Sounds like it’s about time for them to hit the mainstream again, doesn’t it?

Why not be the company to jumpstart the bandwagon?

All the kids will want to come to your business to get their very own yo-yo. So stock up and make sure your company name appears on the side of this fantastic toy.

Coloring Books

Stage a scribble room and let children sit down to color while parents shop. Hang up their works of art in the front window for everyone to admire. Kids love seeing something they made on display and parents love shopping in peace.

Wooden Nickles

Wooden Nickels became popularized in the 1930s as a novelty item. Some of them were even redeemable for a drink or some other such nonsense. People still to this day caution against taking wooden nickels.

But who cares?

They are awesome little things and they make playtime fun. Kids can use them as currency in their make-believe stores. You or a parent can put a hole in the top and turn one into a necklace.

*Bonus Promotional Idea*

With your company logo on the coin face, wooden nickels can be an amazing promotion campaign.

When a parent brings their child into your store on Halloween, they get a treat bag with your wooden nickel. At a later date, they can bring the fake coin back to your store and trade it in for a surprise.
