🎃 SPOOKY GOOD TIMES FOR SALES 👻 #Halloween has “proven to be a resilient investment for both retailers and consumers, even amid economic uncertainty,” according to the Advantage Outlook survey of Halloween shoppers and insights from Advantage Unified Commerce. A big reason why Halloween has gained so much enthusiasm from both retailers and shoppers alike may simply come down to this: it’s fun. In the nearly 20 years the National Retail Federation has been tracking the season, Halloween spending is up over 250%. Furthermore, it was projected to hit a record $12.2 billion last year. This year’s forecast is down slightly from that high, with an estimated $11.6 billion in spend. #retail #halloween #consumerspending CBRE Retail
