Merchant Focus: HALLOWEEN!!

BOO!

Did I scare ya? If I didn’t, I’m sure the picture attached to this post will. Hint…Brian will do anything for a Scooby snack…

Halloween is right around the corner, and the National Retail Federation estimates that consumers dropped $3.29 billion on Halloween in 2005, with the average consumer spending $48.48 on merchandise. To help you get a piece of the action, we put together a list of ShareASale merchants that suit the season…so, in no particular order, I’d like to introduce you to:

Not only do they have a vast selection of bodystockings, bustiers and vinyl wear, but for those who only flirt on Halloween, costume options include: school girl, Wonder Woman, French maids, nurse, cheerleaders, mermaids, fairies, harem dancers, catsuits, police women, etc. etc. You get the idea.

Commission: 7%
30-day EPC: $7.02
Cookie: 30 days
Electrique Boutique offers fabulous, funky and fun sexy clothing, shoes, swimwear and accessories…and, just in time for Halloween, a great selection of adult costumes for men and women. The variety is quite good too. For men, they.ve got everything from a chain mail long-sleeve shirt to a micro thong. (How is that a costume?) For women, there’s a cute pilot costume (apparently for the mile high club) and a “Paris Heiress” costume. In the picture, the model holds a stuffed Chihuahua. Funny. Average sale is $50.15, that’s before the Halloween season even kicks in.
