It’s officially Halloweekend! Let the Halloween costumes, candies and celebration commence.
We used our Social Listening platform to look into which Halloween costumes people are talking about online. We measured the social Share of Voice (SOV) of political costumes, the top searched costumes on Google and common North America’s favorite classic Halloween costumes.
Checking out our findings below!
Top Political Costumes by Social SOV:
Donald Trump had a whopping 68.82% of the political costume social share of voice. Be prepared to see lots of Donald trump costumes walking around. And costume companies should invest in creating more Donald Trump costumes as the demand is high! Or even Hillary Clinton. A social listening tool can help in market research and determine where to invest your money. And even, what the consumers want!
