Spooky sells. All year round. We shined a light on that at Loot Crate, releasing a horror-themed crate dubbed “Loot Fright”, and launching the first box of the subscription with limited #licensed consumer products. Instead, the creative team leaned into legends, myths, cryptids and other public domain creepiness, making sure that we ideated and created products we would actually want to use. It quickly became our third most popular crate and we added more licenses and more unique product categories to better meet the subscriber demand. Brands are wising up to the sustained power of spooky stuff. #Halloween is no longer a catch-all, because fans of frightening things don’t limit themselves to one month of the year. The reality is that horror is not as niche as it was once perceived to be. #Horror films and television are enjoying a renaissance of a sort, with an upswing in quantity and quality and #growth in popularity. Fans exist across a broad spectrum of consumer categories and ages and we can accommodate their fiendish needs every day of the year. #LootFright #consumerproducts

Too early for Halloween costume inspo? Maybe so; but here’s 3 ways to stay sane during the spooky (sales) szn: 1. The ol’ detach from the outcome trick. You can stress all you want, but so much of the sale is out of your hands. 2. Trust your process. If you have success with the way you do things, don’t abandon ship for flashy tips and tricks you see on LI. 3. Disconnect at home. Turn off your work email and slack- it’s just software. P.S. I’ve done the opposite of these things and burnt out hard in the past. #sdr #ae #sales — I’m Brandon Jeppson, and I’ve spent 5720 hours documenting my journey through tech sales.

Sharing two lists that represent the fandom community very differently: By Nerdist Industries - https://lnkd.in/dAu9Pe_4 > A few good truths in here, but very childish picks (wrong demo), which makes it comes across as a "pay to play". By BuzzFeed - https://lnkd.in/dZJw-iEU > On the money for Kidults #nopun 🏆 Brand-owners, there are so many new amazing licensees/manufacturers/sellers to check out on this list! 🛑 Stop just renewing contracts because its easier. * Alain King you called the 💿 CD/Vinyl trend last month! * Looking forward to seeing more SuperMan unique merch from Warner Bros.
