Is that a shriek we just heard? Or maybe a werewolf howling at the moon? Maybe it’s just the terrifying thought that 2025 is well and truly in its final stages. That’s scarier than some of the horror movies we’ve seen as of late!
With October on the horizon, dreams of pumpkin-spiced lattes, dressing up as your favourite scary creatures and making spookified puns are becoming all the more real. We still have a while to wait until the Halloween craze really kicks in. Though you may start celebrating early, you may not want to make the spooky season a whole-month fiasco, either. And that is 100% okay! Even the most notorious vampires need their beauty sleep.
This doesn’t mean you can’t have October fun while you wait! In fact, there are countless calendar events you can still target to help push sales and excite your database. They include:

Evergreen Idea: Create Your Own Special Days
Feel like celebrating, but none of the above events are tickling your fancy? There’s no law to say you can’t make up your own special days! Perhaps it’s the day your business opened, or maybe it’s the day you launched a certain product! It doesn’t need to be product-specific, either. You could celebrate the day you learned to ride a bike, your dog’s birthday or even the day you graduated from university.
As long as it’s combined with story, sustenance and a little fun, your database will relish the opportunity to celebrate with you.
