Halloween Has Become America’s #1 Adult Holiday!

10/22/2013

1 Comment

 
More money is being spent on Halloween … than is spent on New Year’s Eve … with lots being spent on home decorations, parties, costumes, food, and drink.  American adults are spending over $1.2 B on costumes, the most of any category, clearly making Halloween America’s #1 Adult Holiday!

And for weeks before hand, people throw and attend parties.  They go to haunted houses; they go to timely released horror movies; and they engage in scaring each other.

Why?
Because people want to be entertained!

People want to escape everyday life and activities, and go to a dramatically different space and places.  Places that are like an adult version of Harry Potter; or places like in the 50 shades of … craze; or places like the Playboy Mansion; or places like Disneyland or Disneyworld.

And, these things are important … even for the most ordinary businesses … not just for those obviously tied to fantasy.

That is part of the value and the reason people attend seminars and conferences … and that is to escape their everyday activities and thoughts.

They want to go to a dramatically different place where you hear speakers; are educated by trainers; and even receive advice from consultants.  To some degree you want more than just information; you want to be entertained and have strong feelings aroused in the hope of picking up some new ideas; some new ways to be creative; and be inspired to do something innovative.  You want to be more than just informed.

I commend these objectives regardless of what you do, or promote, or sell.

And a great book to read on this phenomenon is The Experience Economy (you can follow this ... link … to find it on Amazon).  It explains that with technology, and increased expectations of consumers, the goods and services being offered in the marketplace are being commoditized.  The best way to differentiate yourself, and your business, in this type of market is to stage a rich and compelling experience.  If this is done properly, the demand for your product or service will blastoff to the Moon!!

Anyway, Happy Halloween and may you be scared (harmlessly) by somebody!
