How to Bank Off Pumpkin Spice: Business Ideas for Adding Pumpkin Spice

Updated: Oct 25, 2021



Fall is here again, and that means a constant supply of everything pumpkin spice. Whether you love pumpkin spice or not, there are tons of ways you can make some good cash.


Therefore, it’s worthwhile for you to join the spiced bandwagon.




Hold a pumpkin picking promotion



Do you have a big garden? Why not hold a pumpkin patch. Historically, the busiest days for buying pumpkins are October 15 and October 22.


Keep your stock ready for busy times and days. Don’t forget to incorporate extra stuff for your clients. You can go the extra mile and get chip readers or contactless to keep the line moving using mobile phone transactions.


Consider off days promotions. You can offer daycares or schools a chance for kiddies to collect pumpkins or to have hayrides. Such treats might help you get a constant flow of customers throughout the week.


Be creative


You can create products ranging from pumpkin spice lip balm, pumpkin spice salsa, and goat’s milk soap.


Are you a vegan? In recent years, some unique pumpkin items that have emerged include pumpkin brown butter oatmeal, pumpkin pecan lavender loaf, and pumpkin-spice sourdough bread.


If you own a beauty boutique or spa, consider incorporating pumpkin-themed beauty oils. Pumpkin has tons of benefits to the skin and hair.


Develop recipes for sweet treats



Besides pumpkins, consumers buy goods baked from pumpkin:

  • Cookies

  • Muffins

  • Bread

  • Pumpkin pie

If you love making pastries or have a bakery, restaurant, or coffee shop, consider adding pumpkin items for breakfast or seasonal desserts that will leave customers with a wow factor.


Another out-of-the-world offering is pumpkin soup.



Introduce a fall happy hour



Most people buy pumpkin products at around 10 am - pumpkin scones and pumpkin spice lattes. Ensure you have enough employees and a strong pumpkin stock for the morning rush.


To drive sales during off-hours, introduce a “fall happy hour.” You could offer a piece of pumpkin bread or pumpkin spice scones with coffee.


You can make so much money from pumpkin products this fall. Whichever business you have, be part of the seasonal bandwagon with pumpkin offerings.
