Halloween Spooks & Bonfire Night Bangs add a Seasonal Boost to Sales
Handy Tricks to Treat Retailers In America Halloween is a major event with big Halloween parties popular. This time of year is becoming a much bigger trading opportunity in the UK, as Halloween becomes more popular and sales grow year on year. This presents opportunities for Retailers who can supply Halloween goods and boost their Autumn sales.
At this time of year, children’s fancy dress parties are a big opportunity. Key sellers include soft drinks, snacks and general confectionery, as well as novelty items such as hats, masks, wigs and face paints. Speak to local Suppliers about display stands pre filled with novelties and the possibility of sale or return contracts.
Trick or Treating is a major part of Halloween. Key products to stock for trick or treaters are confectionery multi packs, bagged confectionery and kid’s confectionery. Stock in advance, as Customers will be looking for these products to stock up on prior to Halloween, so they are ready when the little spooks call.
