Halloween is still months away but retailers are promoting the spooky holiday earlier than ever and driving a new "Summerween" trend. There's a race to move out holiday merchandise early, aiming to get shoppers ready well in advance and, ideally, pushing them to spend more money. Halloween is big money for retailers and last year sales were projected to reach $12.2 billion. The holiday drove $6.4 billion in candy sales last year. The big picture: Home Depot was the first major retailer to push out fall holiday decor online, including 12-foot skeletons, back in April, months earlier than last year. #halloween #summerween #halloweendecorations #holidayshopping #retail #ecommerce
