Here at Heaven Sends we love our Halloween decs, and it seems consumers do to! The large spend on decorations is a big positive for retailers and shows that you can buy into Halloween with confidence.

With fabulous costumes, sweet treats, spooky pumpkins and parties, Halloween acts as the perfect excuse for people to celebrate something while the calendar is quiet! Dressing up your store is a great way to increase footfall and get people interested in buying Halloween!
