Halloween – It’s that time of the year where you can dress up as the scariest and creepiest person and won’t be ridiculed for it! Whether you’re a parent who is going to trick or treat with your children or a guy in his mid-thirties going to a bar crawl for a Halloween fest, there’s something for everyone. Halloween is fast approaching and I’m sure as a dropshipper you’re scrambling to find products to capitalize on. 

You should be very excited because most of your potential customers are already adding costume shopping to their to-do list. They’ll be looking at Halloween Pop-Up Shops, Amazon, eBay, Target, Walmart and other retail stores for costumes. 

Your job is to catch them off guard with an amazing halloween costume or product they haven’t yet seen. That’s why now is the perfect time to begin advertising for Halloween products. 

According to the National Retail Federation, the market in the U.S. is expected to spend roughly $8.8 billion on Halloween products! They surveyed over 7,400 people and found that 68% of Americans plan to celebrate with 69% saying they will hand out candy, 49% decorating homes and 47% dressing in costume. 

Notice in this picture how spending on Halloween has increased over the years. We believe the reason for this rise is the boom of e-commerce within the last 5 years. 

Here’s another statistic that shows you the number of Americans celebrating Halloween and the average spending per buyer. 

This information is very useful because we know that you can likely upsell and cross sell customers on multiple products. For example, if a customer buys a halloween costume from you, make sure to also sell them on decorations as well. You could even run Amazon affiliate offers to sell candy and profit the commission.

These stats give you a very good indication of the types of products to sell when it comes to Halloween.

Of all of the Halloween shoppers, around 90% of Americans will buy candy, 75% will buy decorations and about 70% will buy costumes. 

In this article, we’ll go over some of our picks for the most trending Halloween products in 2019.

Halloween Accessories

Halloween accessories are a great add on to costumes especially because people are looking to complete their outfit. For example, I had a friend who wanted to dress up exactly like a viral meme. In this case, she decided to simply create her own DIY costume and simply buy all of the pieces herself as accessories. 

Some folks want to create their own outfits and not buy the usual full costumes. This is where it’s important to keep Halloween Accessories in your store.

There are so many different holidays you can capitalize on such as Christmas, Valentines Day, and Black Friday, but Halloween can definitely be underrated. People are looking to spend on Halloween to get their perfect costumes, decorations and candy. Stay on top of the latest pop culture trends to see what everyone is buzzing about. 

Make sure to check out websites on Buzzfeed or see what’s trending on Twitter or Instagram to gauge what people are talking about. I suggest creating an entire collection based around Halloween, so that your audience can pick and choose the best options. 

Lastly, don’t think you only have to target the United States when advertising for Halloween products. Halloween has increased its popularity over the last 30 years and China ranks number one in popularity for the number of people who celebrate Halloween.
