MC: Can you point to specific results/stats around how PayPal has benefited HalloweenCostumes.com over the years?
MB: We’ve been working with PayPal for the past six years, and have relied on it to scale with our business over those years. In fact, between 2011 and 2012, PayPal Express Checkout transactions outpaced our overall growth by 30 percent, and we will be near that for this year. We believe this is partially due to the ease of checkout — and PayPal allows for that.
MC: What are the most popular costumes this year?
MB: The most popular costumes this year include Miley Cyrus, "Duck Dynasty," minions (from "Despicable Me"), "Monsters University," ninjas and superheroes.
Happy Halloween everyone!
