Halloween is not just about costumes, candy, and haunted houses. It is also one of the fastest-growing retail holidays of the year. For small businesses, ecommerce stores, and local merchants, Halloween offers a golden opportunity to boost sales, attract new customers, and improve brand visibility. At TCB Pay, we know that secure and seamless payment solutions are the backbone of seasonal success.

Why Halloween Is Big Business

Halloween spending continues to rise every year. In 2023, Americans spent an estimated $12.2 billion on the holiday, setting a record compared to $10.6 billion in 2022. On average, households planned to spend $108.24 on costumes, candy, and decorations. Costumes accounted for $4.1 billion, decorations for $3.9 billion, and candy for $3.6 billion. Participation was also at a record high, with 73 percent of Americans celebrating Halloween in some form.
