Halloween Business Killing – Aberystwyth
(Stars Fancy Dress Shop in Aberystwyth)
Above is Stars in Aberystwyth, a fancy dress shop with the queue out of the door as students make a last minute attempt to secure their bits and pieces for their outfits.
It’s amazing the increase in amount of spending over the years on halloween, it’s now third, two behind Christmas and Easter in terms of the biggest spending occassion of the year but some say the amount spent will be less than last year as consumers feel the squeeze of the recession.
1800% increase in spending since 2001!
2001 Spending £12m | £235m in 2009 (estimated)
