Retailer’s Shouldn’t Forget Halloween
It has become the habit of the retail world to begin selling Christmas merchandise
earlier and earlier each year. The popular consumer affair blog The Consumerist even
humorously keeps track of sightings made of Christmas decorations as they appear
in various retail chain stores.
In many ways this makes sense, the importance of Christmas to retail businesses is impossible to overstate. With the exception of the grocery industry, Thanksgiving has all but disappeared from the retail calendar and it looks like Halloween is in danger as well. This may be a mistake that retail stores and online businesses can not afford to make.
