No Tricks Here

Halloween is creeping up... Is your business participating in trick or treating or other Halloween events? Consider giving away customizable promo items to trick or treaters!
Why should your business participate in Halloween events and give away custom promo?
- Increase Foot Traffic: Offering free treats can attract more people into a store or business, creating opportunities for sales. Families often go out in groups, and stopping by for candy can lead to browsing or purchases.
- Strengthen Community Connections: Participating in Halloween traditions like giving out candy can help a business establish itself as a community-focused and friendly brand. This positive interaction builds goodwill and local loyalty.
- Boost Brand Awareness: Giving out branded treats or items alongside candy can increase brand recognition. Custom wrappers or small promotional items can serve as reminders of the business long after Halloween.
- Create a Fun Atmosphere: Decorating the business and participating in Halloween can make the environment more enjoyable for customers. A festive atmosphere may encourage people to spend more time and money.
- Engage with Families: Halloween often brings out families, so offering treats gives businesses a chance to interact with local parents and children, creating potential long-term customers.
- Leverage Seasonal Marketing: Halloween-themed promotions can be tied to giveaways, offering discounts or special deals that drive sales. It also provides content for social media, showing the business’s fun and playful side.
Halloween Promo Items

Let’s be honest—when’s the last time you actually looked at the “Meet the Team” section on your website? Not skimmed it. Not clicked past it. I mean really looked. If it’s been a few years, there’s a good chance that what’s up there doesn’t match the reality of your team today. Maybe Susan grew out her bangs, or Greg hasn’t worn a tie since 2019. Maybe two of the smiling faces in your header moved on ages ago—and yet, there they are, frozen in pixels like ghosts of small business past. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We've all been there. But here's the thing: your team photos aren't just filler. They're first impressions. They're trust-builders. And if they’re out-of-date, awkward, or clearly cropped from someone's wedding—well, you’re not exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Let’s talk about why updating those photos is one of the simplest, most effective ways to level up how people see your business. That “Stock Photo” Energy? Yeah, People Can Tell You know what’s worse than old team photos? Generic ones. We’ve all seen those painfully stiff group shots—everyone lined up like they’re auditioning for a corporate crime drama. Or worse, the fake handshake photos. (Why are those still a thing?) Customers and clients can smell fake a mile away. In a time when people crave authenticity—real faces, real stories—those overly polished, clearly staged images just don’t cut it anymore. What works? Real teams, real smiles, real settings. We recently worked with Women’s Integrated Health Care , which has locations in Grand Blanc, Clarkston, Davison, Fenton, Marlette, and Sandusky. Their team was incredible—warm, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. Our photo shoot focused on capturing that exact energy. Not just headshots, but moments that reflect how they care for their patients and support each other. That authenticity? It jumps off the screen.
