"Simply put, Halloween is our Christmas," says iParty CEO Sal Perisano. "The month of October accounts for 20% of our business. Between the black and orange balloons, accessories like fangs and nails, our range of wigs from beehive to Barbie, the plastic pumpkins and of course the costumes for adults, kids and, yes ... for pets ... Halloween is huge business for those of us in the party industry. Let's face it ... people love a reason to party and we're delighted to accommodate them!" |
