Halloween Costume Retailers do Their Part to Help Shoppers During "Scary" Economic Times - "Shop Early to Save Big"

Boothwyn, PA, September 07, 2008 --(PR.com)-- NewYorkCostumes.com and HalloweenAdventure.com, two of the largest Halloween costume retailers in the world, are currently offering discount codes and money saving advice to their customers.

With Halloween fast approaching and the stress of economic strain looming over millions of Americans, these leading costume retailers are doing their part to ensure that everyone can enjoy a fun and affordable Halloween this year.

New York Costumes currently operates NYC’s largest costume shop located in Manhattan’s East Village, stocking some of the most popular and sought-after costumes available in the industry and NewYorkCostumes.com, an impressive online costume megastore that ships costumes all over the world. According to Tony Bianchi, CEO of New York Costumes, his company is well aware of the economic struggle affecting Americans and New York Costumes is willing to help.

“We are ready for Halloween and we’re ready to help the customers who may be feeling financially stressed in this economy, and who want to help themselves by shopping early to take advantage of full stock and preseason discounts,” Bianchi said on Friday.

NewYorkCostumes.com is currently offering early-bird shoppers a discount now until the end of September to help families afford high quality Halloween costumes for this year’s Halloween festivities.

According to Bianchi, most people make the mistake of waiting until the last minute to purchase Halloween costumes and this often drastically limits their choices. Bianchi says that customers who shop early are generally able to beat the rush and find the costumes they want in the sizes they need.

Bob Schank COO of HalloweenAdventure.com, an online costume retailer that also operates more than 100 seasonal stores in malls & shopping centers spanning the country, said on Friday, “We want our customers and their families to celebrate the season in style, without the fear of not being able to afford the most popular Halloween costumes. Therefore, we would like to invite everyone to take advantage of pre-season costume discounts in our chain stores and when making use of our easy shopping cart and fully stocked inventory while shopping online at HalloweenAdventure.com. Online shoppers can use discount code: 0805PRS and enjoy the season while saving on the hottest Halloween costumes for Children, Adults… and even Pets.” HalloweenAdventure.com has extended its discount offer until September 30, to encourage shoppers to buy their costumes in advance. Customers can also visit HalloweenAdventure.com to download an Early Bird Costume Savings Coupon that can be redeemed in Halloween Adventure stores.

According to both Bianchi and Schank, when customers wait until the last minute, it limits their options. While both companies maintain huge costume inventories and will be fully stocked right up to Halloween, last-minute shoppers can find the best selection, save time and save money when they shop and buy now.

Halloween Adventure is a division of MASQUERADE, LLC, headquartered in Boothwyn, PA. The company operates 100 Seasonal Halloween Costume Super Stores from Coast to Coast in the US, and year-round MASQUERADE, Imagination Super Stores in Philadelphia, PA, Pittsburgh, PA and the World’s Most Imaginative Costume Store spanning 3 floors at 808 Broadway and 104 4th Avenue in New York City’s East Village.
