(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 through the rise of 'Adultoween,' growing seasonal categories like home decor, food, and beverage, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): seasonal holidays are shifting from kid-focused to adult-focused. If you sell home decor, entertaining supplies, or premium beverages, Adultoween is a six-week selling season with a known audience. The play: if you have any product that works in 'celebrating autumn as an adult,' launch a limited seasonal line in August and market it to adults aged 25-45 via Pinterest, Instagram, and email (not TikTok). Use the term 'Adultoween' in your copy. The segment is already naming itself.\nWhat that means for you: This is not a new holiday — it's a recognition that holidays are aging up. Adults with disposable income are treating October like Christmas now. If you make candles, tableware, beverages, or entertainment gear, you have a six-week window to own this cohort before January. The budget is there; you just have to name it.\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?
