Insights

Market Research Analyst

This partnership between Uber and Spirit Halloween is an interesting move, but likely not a significant driver of revenue or stock price for Uber. While it expands Uber's retail delivery offerings, the seasonal nature of Halloween limits its long-term impact. The deal may provide a modest boost to Uber Eats' transaction volume during the Halloween season, but it's unlikely to materially affect Uber's overall financial performance.

The partnership does showcase Uber's strategy to diversify its delivery offerings beyond food, aligning with its goal to be a "get anything" platform. This could help Uber compete more effectively against other delivery services and potentially increase customer retention and frequency of use.

However, investors should note that this type of partnership is becoming increasingly common in the delivery space and may not provide a significant competitive advantage. The 40% discount promotion might temporarily boost order volumes but could also pressure margins in the short term.

Overall, while this partnership is a positive development for Uber's expansion strategy, it's unlikely to be a major catalyst for the stock. Investors should focus more on Uber's core ride-sharing and food delivery metrics, as well as its progress towards profitability, when evaluating the company's prospects.

Uber apps add Spirit Halloween for on-demand delivery of holiday costumes and seasonal decor across the United States and Canada.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) announced a new partnership with Spirit Halloween, North America's largest Halloween retailer, to further its mission of helping consumers get anything* delivered on-demand. Halloween fans across the United States and Canada can now shop Spirit Halloween on Uber Eats, Postmates and the Uber app for all of their Halloween needs.

Uber apps add Spirit Halloween for on-demand delivery of holiday costumes and seasonal decor.

In 2024 Spirit Halloween is opening a record-breaking 1,525 locations, offering a variety of costumes and accessories for the whole family, along with exclusive décor and animatronics items. The Spirit Halloween catalog will be available to shop on Uber at the same prices consumers will find in-store. As always, Uber One members will benefit from $0 Delivery Fee and 5% discount on all Spirit Halloween orders with a $35 minimum purchase^†. And all consumers will benefit from up to 40% off their next Spirit Halloween order of $50 or more through Halloween^{† †}. Terms apply. See app for details.

"The holiday season officially kicks off this time of year, and households across the country are looking to on-demand delivery to get what's needed—now," said Beryl Sanders, Director of US Grocery & Retail partnerships at Uber. "That's one of the reasons we're most excited to bring Spirit Halloween to Uber Eats and our other Uber apps to make costumes and other Halloween must-haves a cinch. As a working mom I know how crucial that last minute face paint or mask can be on the morning of the school parade or the hour before trick-or-treating starts, and I'm thrilled we'll be able to meet that demand at Uber."

Spirit Halloween joins a growing number of retailers including Big Lots, Lowe's, Michael's, Party City and more who use Uber's apps to reach new customers—furthering the Uber Eats mission to help consumers get (almost!) anything* delivered on-demand. In the U.S. and around the world, Uber is uniquely poised to meet consumers' growing desire to save time and get more of what they need delivered on-demand within hours—if not minutes—rather than days.
