The 10/31 Consortium is a Baton Rouge nonprofit built around Halloween: the Fifolet Halloween Festival, a parade, and free costumes for kids.

We built its website, with a blog and an online store. An organization like this lives on one month of the year, and the site has to be ready for it. Here are the last twelve months.

What We Built

The site gives each program its own page: the festival, the parade, the costume giveaway. Around those sit pages on Halloween history and Louisiana folklore, which keep the site visible the other eleven months and bring in readers who then find the events.

“BlakSheep Creative understood that our website could not simply promote an event. It needed to help people find everything we do. In the last year our site appeared nearly 400,000 times in Google search and generated almost 6,000 organic clicks. When October arrives, people searching for Halloween events, the Fifolet Halloween Festival, costumes, and Louisiana Halloween information are finding us.”

What Search Visitors Did

Search Console counts clicks from Google. Google Analytics counts what happens after the click. Between October 3, 2025 and October 2, 2026, Analytics recorded 7,640 visits to the 10/31 Consortium website from organic search, 24% of its 32,203 visits.

59% of those search visits were engaged, meaning the visitor stayed on the site, opened a second page or took an action.

The Ads We Run

We also run the Consortium's social media ads, which send people to the same website. Between October 3, 2025 and October 2, 2026, Analytics recorded 4,051 visits from those ads.

What Other Businesses Can Take From This

Seasonal organizations need to own their season. In October 2025 the site recorded 3,321 clicks, more than the next eleven months combined, and it ranks at position 3.5 for its own festival and on page one for "halloween parade baton rouge."

The history pages are the off-season engine. Pages on trick or treating and the rougarou drew 99,936 and 59,444 impressions, keeping the Consortium in front of readers all year.
