(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAdults are fueling $13.5 billion in Halloween spending via the rise of 'Adultoween,' growing seasonal categories including home decor, food, and beverage, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you sell home goods, decor, or consumables (food, drink, treats), create a separate 'adult' seasonal line for October and November. Price it 15-20% higher than your standard offering. Use language around hosting, entertaining, and aesthetic (not novelty). Test the line with 2-3 products in limited quantities. The adult buyer is less price-sensitive and more design-conscious than the kids' Halloween buyer. Restock sparingly—scarcity drives urgency in affluent seasonal segments.\nWhat that means for you: This is clean segmentation hiding in plain sight. Brands have been selling Halloween as 'kid stuff' for decades. Now adults have reclaimed it as a spending category. The move is simple: if you make anything related to Halloween—decor, food, drink, costumes—make a version for affluent adults. Higher price, better design, premium materials. Ship it in August, sell it in small batches. Most brands won't bother; that's why the margin is there.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/the-rise-of-adultoween-and-how-adults-are-driving-halloween-spending/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
