FancyDressShack.co.uk Discuss The Rise In The Sales Of Halloween Goods In The UK

Online, October 31, 2012 (Newswire.com) - FancyDressShack.co.uk discusses the reasons that the sales of Halloween goods in the UK have risen over the last 10 years.

The BBC reported that people in the UK will spend more than £300 million on Halloween related products this year, following the rise in spending at Halloween that began at around £25 million in 2002. This shows that there is a huge market for any business to become part of through either making or stocking Halloween related products.

Halloween is a holiday that many people around the world celebrate each year. The holiday mainly appeals to families and young children in particular, as they all dress up as a scary character and go around asking their neighbours for a trick or a treat.

Thanks to the heavy commercialisation of this holiday, many retailers and manufacturers are able to experience a serious sales boost for the month of October, and more and more are altering the products they offer around this time in order to benefit further from the holiday.

In 2010 Cadbury was purchased by Kraft Foods. As a US corporation, Kraft Foods has experience in providing holiday specific products and how well they sell. In the same year Cadbury released a Halloween version of their Cream Egg and experienced a huge boost to sales thanks to this one product.

Alongside the success Cadbury experienced, Tesco began to provide more and more Halloween related products, until entire isles were filled and dedicated to the holiday. In 2012 Tesco is estimated to have sold £55 million worth of Halloween goods alone.

FancyDressShack.co.uk has experienced a sales boost every year they have been operating over Halloween. Customer Service Manager Kelly Woods explained, "The company is busy all year round, but we've always noticed a huge increase in sales over Halloween, just because so many people are eager to get involved with the holiday and go out to have a great time."

More and more Halloween products are being produced every year for people to buy and use at Halloween. As more of these products are produced it contributes to the rise in UK Halloween spending. With more products than simply fancy dress and chocolates, Halloween is a holiday that will continue to give businesses a sales boost every year.

FancyDressShack.co.uk provides fancy dress costumes and Halloween outfits online to customers. They have a great range of products that will suit the needs of anyone that wants to dress up this Halloween, whether they're children, teenagers or adults.
