According to “The America’s Intel- ligence Wire,” Halloween spending is ex- pected to jump more than $1 billion this year, up from $5.8 billion in 2010. And among costumes, candies, decorations and greeting cards, costumes constitute 36.5 percent of the revenue. This dramatic growth is due to young adults such as Boston University students. According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), young adults age 18-24 are more likely than any other age group to buy a costume and visit a haunted house. A study released in September by the National Retail Federation that says Hal- loween spending is up from last year, stu- dents are being cautious about spending money this year. The study suggested the average person will shell out $72.31 on decorations, cos- tumes and candy for Halloween this year, up from $66.28 last year. Jeffery Furman, professor of strategy and policy at the School of Management, said he believes the chance to cut loose could lead consumers to spend a little more this Halloween, even during the recession. “I’d say this year’s Halloween isn’t go- ing to be a bust because people need a re- lease,” said Furman. “For adults, you can put on a Halloween costume and forget AMANDA SWINHART/DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF about work, the bad economy and other Stores along Commonwealth Avenue, including Goodwill, have cashed in on young adults’ pressures.” As for where young adults can get their willingness to spend money on Halloween costumes fill on all things Halloween, BU students around eight dollars,” Ten Cate said. “I quarter’s profit is a easy double of last quar- cluding wizards, Harry Potter, devil, cats, need look no further than the crop of stores don’t think it’s worth spending that much ter’s.” vampires, priests, angels, and firefighters. along Commonwealth Avenue. on something you’ll only wear on one Caprario attributes it to the store’s di- Ruth Wallace, an employee at Party Fa- College of Communication sophomore weekend.” verse options. vors, a Halloween store near BU’s West Tessa Ten Cate, who dressed up as Dr. COM freshman Carrie Clark said she “We have a huge variety of merchandise.
