Goblins and Ghosties And Profit, Oh My!

Friday October 31, 2003
If you read last week's "Halloween Profits Will Be Monstrous", you know that Halloween is now only second to Christmas in terms of cash-register ringing holidays. And tonight's the night, which, being a Friday, is supposed to push retail profits even higher.
There's also a trend towards "celebrating" Halloween. For instance, businesses are banding together to hold community and promotional events with Halloween themes. Even businesses that don't sell products or services that directly relate to the ghoulish needs of consumers are getting into the spirit.
What about your business? Vote in the Halloween Spirit Poll to let us know about the ghostly happenings at your workplace.
And if you're not celebrating Halloween in your office, maybe it's time to start. "You can use Halloween at the Office to build morale and teamwork. At the same time it can help you spot creative and participative talents among your employees," says About Management Guide F. John Reh. Follow the link to read his suggestions for activities that are fun for employees and good for your company.
