Womentorz Hosts Green Halloween in Downtown Edmonds

We had such a great time hosting Green Halloween in downtown Edmonds, WA.  We had a booth in the middle of all of the action filled with great products to bring green awareness.  As you can see from the photos below, the crowds were in the thousands.

For those of you who don't know, I support Green Halloween for personal reasons even though I don't have a "green" business per say.  My son has a peanut allergy, so Halloween is a tough time for us.  I'm not personally anti candy, but I think it's important to provide other items for the children who have dietary restrictions.  It was a great feeling promoting other businesses with green or healthy products and know that they were getting a lot of exposure.  


Here are some action shots from the event:


Amalia Martino with BlueShoes Media was all smiles and so much fun to work with!!!



Honest Tea saw a lot of "super" action!








Teresa Wippel with My Edmonds News brought joy to the faces of all!


Jordan Mitchell with Honest Tea saved the day for all of the kids by providing healthy
and tasty beverages!



 Thank you to our local and Womentorz network supporters!

Promote Your Business with Green Halloween and Womentorz

Womentorz is going to be hosting Green Halloween for a second year in our local Downtown Edmonds, Washington Halloween festivities.  We're not only hosting the event because of the great message it brings to families, but because it was also a huge hit with wonderful marketing opportunities. We will have a booth in the center of town that's visited by LITERALLY thousands of families.  You see...the city of Edmonds is completely shut down where the Chamber and all of the local businesses come together to celebrate Halloween and provide a family friendly environment.  It's a sight to see for sure!

Our booth was one of the only booths in the center of town, and there was a line as far as the eye could see.  Families had so much fun seeing the unusual products and healthier food choices being passed out.  The fun tent and Green Halloween banners were certainly eye catching.

Here are some photos catching just a taste of the action:


It was non stop action the entire time!  We could barely keep up with the crowd.

What we're offering our entire network is an opportunity to promote your business for FREE during the festivities.  If you're here locally please come on down and demonstrate your product and pass out promotional material.  How many events have thousands of families right in your target market ....the people who want to buy your product ....for FREE?  This is a very creative and unique marketing opportunity.  

All participants will also get a special Womentorz shout out on the blog, which will link to your website when covering the event.  This is great online marketing. :)

You may say, "Well, my product isn't green! How can I be part of such a great opportunity?"
There are literally countless and creative ways to be a part of this! There are many things that could be passed out that would be considered green with your product/business information.  This could mean printing on recycled products like the ones found at Recycling is Cool: http://www.recyclingiscool.com/
Just let me know if you're interested and I can assist in the brainstorming process.

On a personal note, the reason why I support Green Halloween is because my son has a life threatening peanut allergy,so Halloween is an unsafe time for our family.  Had I not gone through this experience personally I don't think I would understand how important it is to provide alternative solutions to the typical "all candy" inundation our society takes part in when celebrating Halloween.  Think of all of the children with diabetes....especially this day and age.  I'm personally not anti candy by any means, but I think it's important to provide healthier alternatives besides candy all of the time.

This is a very fun way to promote your product and support an important message.  Email info@womentorz.com if you're interested in being a part of the booth.    

This event is part of the national Green Halloween event network.  For more information and to support Green Halloween visit www.greenhalloween.org.

Green Halloween is a HUGE hit in Downtown Edmonds

Colleen and I were so excited to be part of bringing Green Halloween to the Downtown Edmonds Halloween Festivities.  This was a joint effort between Womentorz.com, MyEdmondsNews.com, Sustainable Edmonds and the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce with Coldwell Banker Bain hosting the Costume Swap on October 9th, which was a huge hit.  We really appreciated the support during the entire process of introducing Green Halloween to Edmonds.  Our booth was so overwhelmingly popular that we could barely keep up and went through thousands of products that were handed out to literally tens of thousands of families.  We've never seen anything like it!!!  It looked like Woodstock! 

The most popular event at the booth was the Recycle Toss.  The kids LOVED it as much as if they were at a carnival.  We also had a candy buy back program with a chance to win a $60 gift card to Toys R Us.  There was something for everyone!

All of the business involved in sponsoring the booth received huge exposure and peace of mind that they were providing a healthy alternative to the massive candy normally passed out during Halloween.  It was quite the experience and very fulfilling.  We hope to get more businesses involved now that we know how popular the booth was.  It's nonstop activity and excitement!!!  

Here are some photos from the event. I apologize for the quality.  I forgot my camera through all of the craziness and could only use my camera phone.
