The Doorstep Exchange

Halloween is one night when strangers still open doors for each other.

My wife and I still take our girls trick-or-treating.

We know these years are numbered: soon they’ll be too old, too cool, or too busy.

So tonight, we might linger a little longer at each door.

There’s something deeply human about the whole exchange: knock, wait, smile, offer, thank.

A tiny ritual of trust repeated a hundred times in one night.

That’s what great products do, too.

They build small, repeatable moments of trust.

Where giving feels natural and being seen feels safe.

In a world of noise, the brands that win aren’t the ones that run the fastest house-to-house.

They’re the ones that step up to the door, show patience, and make a solid impression.

Who remember they’re a community member, a neighbour.

And that it’s an exchange.

Make sure the person giving the candy feels rewarded too.
