According to the Greeting Card Association and holiday marketing best practices, timing is crucial for seasonal outreach to stand out and engage effectively.

When to Send Halloween Cards

Mail cards in mid-October so they arrive one week before Halloween. This ensures they land before the holiday without getting lost in last-minute chaos.

Pair Halloween Cards with High-Impact Extras

• QR Codes: Link to a promo, seasonal landing page, or video greeting.
• Branded Inserts: Add magnets, scratch cards, or loyalty coupons.
• Giveaways: Announce a costume contest or fall-themed prize.
• Early Teasers: Hint at upcoming holiday specials for an extra reason to stay connected.

📝 Pro Tip: Consider adding a small gift card as a surprise insert. It’s lightweight, highly appreciated, and leaves a lasting impression.
