              Halloween To Look Different This Year Due To Coronavirus

              WASHINGTON — Like many holidays this year, Americans are planning to celebrate Halloween despite the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. 
              The autumnal holiday may look a little different this year, but consumers are finding ways to safely mark the occasion.
              According to the National Retail Federation’s annual survey conducted by Prosper Insights and Analytics, more than 148 million U.S. adults plan to participate in Halloween-related activities. 
              Among those celebrants, safe at-home activities ranked highest: 53 percent plan to decorate their homes, 46 percent plan to carve a pumpkin and 18 percent will dress up their pet.
              “Consumers continue to place importance on celebrating our traditional holidays, even if by untraditional standards,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “Retailers are prepared to meet the increased demand for seasonal décor, costumes and other items that allow families the opportunity to observe Halloween safely.”
              More than three-quarters say the virus is impacting their celebration plans, with overall participation down to 58 percent. Plans for parties, trick-or-treating, handing out candy and visiting haunted houses have all dropped, due largely to the fact that some activities do not easily adhere to social distancing. Even so, 17 percent say they plan to celebrate virtually.
              Consumer spending is expected to reach $8.05 billion, down slightly from $8.78 billion in 2019, due to the drop in participation. However, consumers are spending more on the activities that will ensure a memorable holiday. Those who are celebrating plan to spend $92.12 on average compared with $86.27 in 2019. Consumers are doing what they can to still make it a special event by spending a little more on home decorations, candy and greeting cards. 
              “Some of the most interesting data concerns younger generations, consumers ages 18-24,” Prosper Insights Executive Vice President of Strategy Phil Rist said. “Although fewer are celebrating this year, the ones who are aren’t shying away from Halloween-related purchases, spending $11 more on average, primarily on decorations and candy.”
              With extra time on consumers’ hands, Halloween shopping is starting earlier with four in 10 planning to begin their shopping in September or earlier.
              While fewer might be heading to stores, the top shopping destinations remain the same: discount stores, specialty Halloween stores, grocery stores and online retailers. Shoppers continue to prefer online shopping as a safe and convenient option during the pandemic.
              This year, 30 percent plan to make their Halloween purchases online, compared with 25 percent last year.
