Halloween sales so far this year in our newsXpress Forest Hill are up 15% on 2009. Our 2009 sales were up more than 10% on 2008.
This year, we have more competition in our centre with four locations offering Halloween product including Coles which is just opposite us. This competition is terrific as it promotes a season in which we have been well established for years.
It works particularly well where mum or dad shops with us for a card or a magazine and any kids in tow browse the Halloween table.
With three weeks to go, the best is yet to come. Halloween 2010 could be the best season of the year in terms of year on year growth.
OUR FIRST ATEMPT THIS YEAR WE ARE A TOURIST AREA BUT WE ARE HAVING FUN AND HAS BEEN WORTH IT BUT WONDER IF I SHOULD CHARGE FOR ALL THE PHOTOS THEY HAVE BEEN TAKING OF THEMSELVES TRYING EVERYTHING ON
