Halloween is just days away and research suggests consumers are figuring out new ways to celebrate the holiday during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nearly 150 million people plan to participate in Halloween-related activities this year. Consumer spending for the fall holiday is predicted to reach $8.05 billion, a drop from 2019 when consumer spending peaked at $8.78 billion, that’s all according to the National Retail Federation’s annual Halloween survey.
