Spelltacular Summerween Weekend is a weekend filled with all kinds of discounts, exclusive products and giveaways.
Spelltacular Summerween Weekend will take place June 25th - June 26th. This is the first weekend of Summer.
If you've got a spooky business or a business that sells spooky products at least once a year (i'm looking at you seasonal stockists) then you can join in the fun.
This is a free event for everyone, so in return for your store being featured on the website, all you need to do is offer either a discount or exclusive products.
You can also offer both if you are able to do so. I'm also asking that all vendors please run a giveaway through your store/site. You do not have to send anything in to Spooky Weekend, the giveaway will be run by you, through your site and will be your responsibility.
The reason a giveaway is also required is for those customers who cannot/do not want to make a purchase. This way they can still visit your site/social media and enter the giveaway. This should hopefully increase your social count as most giveaways on social media require a follow/like to enter.
Please also share this event multiple times before the weekend happens. You can create your own promotional images but please use the below png files to include the Spelltacular Summerween logo. Sharing through instagram, Facebook, stories and mailing lists are all very welcome. To create as much buzz as possible and to also share all of the stores included in this, please direct potential attendees to the following links and accounts:

Unfortunately the past two weekends has seen a tiny number of stores agreeing to offer a giveaway, discount or exclusive products, but when the weekend arrived they didn't offer anything at all and potential customers were contacting Spooky Weekend to find out why. Each store is promoted and shared before the weekend and they are also shared as much as possible over the weekend too. This means you also receive free advertising. Although this is a free event for everyone, it is not a free event to run, so please be considerate when both applying and when the weekend rolls around. If you know you will not be able to take part please get in touch ASAP so you can be be removed from the website and to avoid disappointing any customers.

From 00:01am on Saturday to 23:59pm Sunday June 25th and 26th, all stores that have joined in the event will offer their discounts, products and prizes.
Currently social media is the BIG driving force with marketing this. The event and your stores will all be showcased on Facebook and Instagram over the next 4 weeks. The event will be shared many times with a focus on individual stores also. This is to showcase the event but also to show potential attendees who will be offering discounts and what will be available. There will also be a small number of individuals who will be promoting the event through their blogs and websites. Please also share this event as much as you would like, the more people that know, the more chance of those sales and social counts increasing!
Each store has already been added to the confirmed vendors list. What you will be offering will be revealed around a week before the event is due to happen, this is to try and promote the event as much as possible, build up buzz for discount/product/giveaway reveals and to also avoid any customers who could wait weeks to grab the discount instead of grabbing the products you're selling at full price.
Be sure to also use the hashtag #SPOOKYWEEKEND on social media so potential visitors can find all stores and artists during the event.
