Cupcake Post #2

Hey there!

So what role do costumes or trick-or-treating play in a business? 
How did the organization where you are interning deal with Halloween? 
And what is an appropriate age for kids to stop trick-or-treating?

Ok well costumes and trick or treating can be a large roll in a business during Halloween.  I think maybe wearing costumes and having candy available to give out to trick or treaters can bring in potential customers.  If  it is a small business or a new business that isn't well known yet it may help get their name out to the public.

This week at Cupcake Couture, there was a bowl of candy out by the cash register for children to keep them occupied while the parents were shopping.  Whenever a child came into the store I would always offer him/her some candy (with the consent of the parents, of course). 

For me, I think the appropriate age to stop trick or treating is 11 or 12 years old because you are almost a teenager and mostly trick or treating is done by 5 year olds. It would be awkward to trick or treat when you are 12 when everyone else trick or treating is around 5 or 6 years old.
