TRICK OR TREAT

August 16th, 2006 - Posted by Matthew Farmer

There is no TRICK in ringing up Halloween sales when you TREAT your customers to an exciting array of Halloween products. You can coordinate Halloween costumes, decorations, and party ideas that will appeal not only to the young, but to the young at heart.

Halloween is the second biggest shopping holiday for retailers, generating more than Six Billion Dollars in Sales! According to a survey by the International Mass Retail Association, approximately 82% of all Americans purchase costumes, masks, games, decorations and candy, along with other items for Halloween. FG Market has highlighted a few vendors that have a variety of Halloween costumes, party, and decorating ideas.
According to Robert J. Verdisco, President of International Mass Retail Association, “Halloween is becoming as much a holiday for adults as it is for children.” The Ancient Egyptian Collection has costumes, jewelry and party favors for Halloween and for other types of parties as well. Why not suggest to the adventuresome shopper the unique Egyptian-inspired treasures from the Ancient Egyptian Collection?
For an unforgettable evening, host a Halloween Party with an Egyptian theme. Make a dramatic entrance wearing an exotic Egyptian costume and the replica jewelry from King Tut’s Tomb. Then, carry out the theme with Egyptian decorations such as genuine Egyptian Papyrus Paintings. And for just one night, slip the surly bonds of earth, when wearing the Ancient Egyptian Collection’s newest creation, the mythological ISIS WINGS. Why? Because Inside Every Woman Is a Goddess Waiting To Fly!

Choosing a line of Halloween costumes for young children is important. The award-winning company, BDay Parties furnishes fun and functional clothes that provide hours of imaginary play. Set the stage for fun BOO, not disappointed, BOO HOO! Young children enjoy emulating their favorite characters. What fun to arrive at a Halloween party dressed as a cowboy or cowgirl, a pirate, a knight or a princess (Our Reversible Princess Costume is a winner of the 2006 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award).
Bday Parties LLC is the manufacturer of wholesale Dress up Buddies Wholesale Dress up Costumes and accessories, and Par T Buddies wholesale unstuffed animal kits.

Names such as Candy Monster, Frankie, Batso, Bando and Esmeralda add to the fun of these wholesale plush pals that are all dressed up in festive costumes featuring satin, vinyl, and felt accents.
Petal Pushers are just the right additions to Halloween flowers and gifts. Cute, plush teddy bears are hugging floral vases that make two perfects gifts in one.
