This year marketers are banking on Halloween earlier than ever. Halloween decorations, candy and home decor can already be found in stores and on-line. Why so early, because Halloween is a very lucrative time of year. Last year alone, Halloween generated $5.07 billion (yes, B as in Billion). It is estimated that Halloween candy sales will jump another 2.8% from last year. We don't see any tricks there, just plenty of treats!
Want to help out a non-profit this Halloween? Purchase a "green" Halloween treat bag from
Ballard Designs and they will give a portion of the proceeds to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. The tote costs $12.00. It's worth it when you know some of the money is going to help children and the jute bag is another way to go green and help the environment.
