Kodiak Cakes used SMS not to promote a spooky season sale, but to share a fun Halloween-themed recipe. Not every marketing moment has to be about a promotion. By providing value to subscribers, they foster a stronger brand connection without asking for immediate purchases. Additionally, by monitoring engagement with this message, Kodiak Cakes can tailor follow-ups, suggesting related products or alerting subscribers to price drops on recipe ingredients.

Can’t wait for October for spooky season? Neither can many consumers. Forest Ink, a clothing and swimwear retailer, tapped into the growing trend of Summerween, the unofficial holiday that gets a head start on celebrating all things spooky. Forest Ink used it as a way to offer their subscribers a great discount of 40% off. To invoke FOMO, the sale would be ghosting subscribers at midnight.
