A Word from the Organizers
Neil Morrissey, the esteemed Marketing Brand Manager at Nestlé, chimed in about this year's campaign. He said, “Watching scary movies and eating pizza continues to be one of the best Halloween traditions.” Neil’s absolutely right. The pairing of horror movies and pizza is as classic as peanut butter and jelly or Halloween and candy. Tombstone Pizza, in his words, is having some “fun with the fright factor” this year. They’re encouraging everyone to lounge with their favorite horror classics, pizza in hand.
Why Brands Like Tombstone Embrace Halloween
Halloween isn't just about candies and costumes; it’s a goldmine for businesses. Engaging campaigns like Tombstone’s make consumers connect with the brand on a personal, fun level. It's not just about the product, but the experience. And what better time than Halloween to create memorable experiences?
The US Halloween Obsession
Halloween is deeply embedded in American culture. From haunted houses to intricate costumes, Americans leave no stone unturned in their quest for a spooky good time. Brands that manage to weave their narrative into this festive tapestry reap the rewards of heightened engagement, increased brand loyalty, and yes, spooktacular sales.
