Why understanding October matters to the Pumpkin King.
To some people, October is just another month out of the year. But for most, it is a month full of excitement and fun! With Halloween right around the corner, most of our free energy and time goes into costumes for our kids or sometimes ourselves; or parties, and eating way too much candy. We also like to plot ways on how to keep neighborhood kids from taking all the candy out of the bowl you set out on Trick-or-Treat night.

Pumpkin King Pumpkin Patch
One of the major traditions in many households is going to the pumpkin patch and getting a pumpkin. Pumpkin King Pumpkin Patch is an experience that has become an annual tradition for families in the Fresno area. They have several attractions to go along with choosing the perfect pumpkin. Sixteen years ago, they partnered with the Central California Blood Center to start a Blood Drive. During their drive, everyone that donates will receive a free pumpkin. A perfect way to give back to our community! But running a pumpkin patch can be tough work, and having an online presence in conjunction with a fun atmosphere makes a huge difference in inviting families to visit their farm.
Our team at Edit LLC has the privilege of helping the Pumpkin King family by tracking online visitors and compiling data from those hits on their domain. We do this in part by placing the most important information at the top of their website.
