Outdoor Trick-or-Treating Stations

This Outdoor Candy Station Simplifies Treat-Hunting

— October 15, 2015 — Art & Design
Distribute candy with ease this Halloween and set up this fairly simple outdoor candy station. With a station of goodies at your doorstep, you can sit back and relax all night long.

While the traditional way to give out treats on Halloween is to wait for the doorbell to ring and greet eager children with a bowl full of goodies, this simple DIY craft eliminates the hassle of getting up ever so often but allowing children to serve themselves. By setting up an outdoor candy station, the only time you have to get up is for the occasional refill, which happens far less than the constant ring of the doorbell.

Decorate your outdoor candy station with spooky decorations, arrange the candy however you see fit and have a relaxing Halloween.
Trend Themes
1. Outdoor Candy Stations - There is an opportunity to provide a selection of pre-packaged healthy options to make Halloween a little bit healthier for those who visit the outdoor candy station.
2. DIY Halloween Crafts - There is an opportunity to showcase tutorials, ideas, and ideas on how to create unique candy stations that fit the theme of Halloween with creativity and ease.
3. Contactless Greetings - The outdoor candy station or contactless greetings are opportunities to pave the way for future festivities with minimal contact or exposure, creating a new normal for all outdoor events.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - Outdoor candy stations can help boost the revenue of outdoor recreation facilities by providing families with additional attraction and convenience.
2. Retail - Retail stores can market their Halloween decoration and crafts inventory with more emphasis and with the connection of the DIY Halloween trend.
3. Health & Wellness - Health and wellness companies can capitalize on the opportunity to provide healthier Halloween candy options to promote a healthier lifestyle for adults and children alike.
