How much preparation do you put into spooky season?
Halloween 2023 has come and gone. While a plethora of Barbie and Kens, plus Heidi Klum's worm, grabbed attention, retailers will have been calculating how much of the $12.2bn generated by the holiday they'll take home.
Brands need accurate retail business intelligence from both quantitative and qualitative data to maximize their Halloween performance. While the former is well established, businesses can do so much with the latter.
How? Relative Insight gathered American social conversations about Halloween costumes between the beginning of September and Halloween. Comparing these discussions week by week using our text analysis platform revealed what key themes were most prevalent over different periods of time.
Plotting these themes into our Heartbeat data viz tool showed how Halloween purchasing trends rose and fell across the two months.
Our analysis identified the awareness, consideration and purchasing stages for consumers buying Halloween costumes, as well as the impact of pride, appearance, parties and desperation in the purchasing process.
