You Don't Have to Be a Vampire to Take a Bite Out of the Price of Celebrating Halloween

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Oct. 17 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- It's Halloween time again! And whether you have kids, or are planning a festive Halloween Celebration of your own, you're probably considering endless Halloween costume ideas ranging from 'cheap tricks' to monstrously expensive treats. Of course, you can trek to your local Mall, fight the crowds for the hottest costumes and pay full price, or as many savvy shoppers have discovered, there is a more affordable and more convenient alternative, say the guys and ghouls at retailer Halloween Adventure and Masquerade LLC.

Driven by the incredible growth in the popularity of Halloween in recent years, many traditional costume retailers have magically transformed themselves into year-round online costume superstores.

According to the National Retail Federation's (NRF) Halloween Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by BIG research, consumers are expected to spend $4.96 billion this Halloween, up significantly from just $3.29 billion a year ago.

Online Halloween Costume websites have become the destination of choice for smart Halloween Costume Shoppers... and a surprising source of both creative costume ideas and spooktacular savings.

Driven by the explosion in consumer demand, many online retailers have become increasingly more competitive, offering consumers discounts and savings offers - especially early in the season.

Similar to toy stores and gift retailers, who incentivize consumers to purchase weeks before Christmas, Halloween retailers are aggressively inviting consumers to BUY NOW AND SAVE via online channels. Promotional offers of FREE Shipping, Discounts of 5%, 10%, 20% OFF and more, combine to give consumers a way to save both time and money.

Halloween Adventure, the largest independent Halloween retailer in the US, offers consumers FREE Shipping - PLUS an additional 15% OFF savings on purchases made before October 25th via its online costume superstore newyorkcostumes.com. While some consumers prefer to browse among one of the deeply discounted costumes in the Costume Clearance Corner: newyorkcostumes.com/deep-discount.html

"Halloween Costume Savings in our Costume Clearance Corner can be as high as 50% to 70% off regular retail," says HalloweenAdventure.com Webmaster Yan Demko, "and we still offer FREE Shipping with Clearance purchases over $50 providing even greater savings."

Newyorkcostumes.com, the eCommerce division of Broadway-based New York Costumes - New York City's largest costume retailer, also offers FREE Shipping and deep discounts for online customers who shop early.

"Online customers have options, and so we always sell every costume at the best possible prices," says Tony Bianchi, owner/operator of NewYorkCostumes.com. "In addition, during Halloween season we offer customers additional discounts to shop and save early."
