And now, not only is Halloween upon us, but November 11th, Singles Day, is very near, along with the Holidays, including Christmas and New Year’s. Many small businesses (and some larger ones) depend on this time of year to stay afloat. Attracting shoppers who are looking for ways to celebrate, purchasing gifts and decor, food and much more, is key!

Perhaps you think that since there is nothing spooky about your business, so you shouldn’t bother with Halloween… This is wrong! You are likely losing out on sales! Just as you should be thinking ahead to the upcoming shopping holidays, you should also be paying attention to Halloween. There are many smart, easy ways to “spookify”, ie market your business to Halloween shoppers.
Here are a few Halloween Marketing Ideas for Your Business:


“Spookify” your Online Presence

Add some Halloween spirit to your website and products. Offering halloween deals when your store or website is decorated for the summer isn’t going to cut it. Spicing up your social media platforms, blogs and websites is a good way to adapt to the holidays.  Sit down with your teams as start brainstorms sales, decorations, and online graphics. (If it’s too late for Halloween, start applying this to any upcoming Holiday, like Single’s Day, Christmas, and New Year’s.)

Bonus Tip: A great tool for transforming images on your website to Halloween-ized images is PicMonkey.

Create Personalized Online Content about Halloween

Creating unique content about Halloween- ie writing articles, creating images, and/or video’s- is one way to draw attention to what you sell. Before and during the Holiday season, it is best to adapt your contents around facts, events and the history of the holiday you are focused on. Every year, people go online to search for various subjects around Halloween. Discovering informative articles will help not only to boost your search rankings, but also raise your popularity and reviews with online folks. On all of your social media platforms, as well as website, make sure you post regularly about the amazing things, scary stories and informative facts about the season.

Host Trick-or-Treating Promotions

Promotions are always a great way to boost sales. Adapting it to the spooky holidays makes it more fun for existing customers and visitors alike. Try out trick-or-treat promotions at both your physical and online outlets for better awareness on your products. For each promo, clearly promote a unique product and watch for a surge in sales.

Every Man Needs a Bespoke Suit. Here’s why:



There is nothing like slipping into a perfectly fitted, custom-made suit. A bespoke suit is the penultimate in luxury menswear, and the best to be found in Hong Kong is at La Elite Fashions in Tsim Sha Tsui. Think ready-made suits are enough? Once you slide into a perfectly crafted, custom made just for you, bespoke suit… you will never turn back. What makes a bespoke garment so special? The absolute perfect fit.

Read on for more in depth discussion on why a bespoke suit is essential to every man’s wardrobe.


Your Unique Body Features

No ready-made clothing caters for all your body features the way custom-made dresses do. Every limb is carefully measured so that when your suit is created by our expert tailors… it fits PERFECTLY. That is quality and class. And that is what will distinguish you from your peers. Success is achieved in a bespoke suit from La Elite Fashions!

Your Suit, Your Style

Whether you have a favorite suit or garment that you would like replicated, or are looking for something new, something stylish, a bespoke suit delivers. This is YOUR suit, unique to you alone. You pick the fabric, design, etc. Our tailors are always happy to make recommendations and assist in selections, but our clients always have the final say. We are also happy to make small, much more flattering, adjustments to your clothing. You’d be surprised at how great tailoring skills can seemingly “melt away the pounds”, revealing a more slender figure. In a recent instance we had a customer request a slightly high pant cuff-- so he could show off his shoes a little more. These personal adjustments are what make a suit, your suit-- showcasing your best features.

Whether is a tuxedo, winter suit, or other unique garment, let the talented tailors at La Elite create the custom, bespoke clothing you need to look your best. Stop by La Elite Fashions in Tsim Sha Tsui today!
