Saturday October 31st, Halloween
I have such fond memories with the days leading up to Halloween. Whether it be the costumes, the parties, the pumpkin carving or just binging on the assortment of chocolate bars.
Did you know that Halloween is not only celebrated only in North America and Canada? It originated in Ireland and today the U.K, Puerto Rico, Australia and New Zealand all celebrate this festive occasion.
This once simple tradition of children trick-or-treating with their home made costumes or painted faces with their pillow cases knocking on doors for sweet treats has now exploded into this multi billion dollar global business !
How did Halloween become a business that earns so much money year after year? What has driven consumers to spend like this? How has this non traditional holiday become such a demand that there has been an industry created around it?
Well...Whether you are buying a costume for your kids, yourself and your dog, purchasing treats to give out or just buying decorations for your house or party, you are giving your money to the thriving Halloween Industry.
The bottom line is, this is what the consumer wants to spend their hard earn dollars on at the end of October.
Happy Halloween!
Have Fun and Keep it SImple !
