If I see one more “Now accepting Halloween Costumes & Decor” subject line from a shop I’m gonna SCREAM.

Talk about snooze-ville.

Now, assuming your shop has a bit of a flair, your subject line could be:

Know those funny clothes in the back of your closet? (and then your text would continue on… “that disco dress from 1979, the overalls you loved in college… well, they’ll make GREAT Halloween outfits, which our customers LOVE…so bring them in etc etc”)

or how about: Cobwebs add to the value (and your text could address both costumes and decor in a light-hearted manner)

or even Now’s your chance to unload those losers (“we all have clothes and accessories we’re not proud of, the leg warmers from Jazzercise class 15 years ago, that poufy down vest that makes you look like a lumberjack… etc etc”)

One more then I’ll leave you to your own devises: Spooky, isn’t it? Or do you prefer sexy? (“it’s amazing how many of our buyers are eagerly awaiting anything fun for Halloween, so go through your clothes and your accessories. Especially popular: slinky black stuff, leotards in any color as a base for costumes, unusual accessories and props…”)
