Halloween is coming and for many people that means the costume crisis is already in full swing. It’s not just children hoping to go trick-or-treating that will be clamoring for costumes. Many adults will attend parties, participate in contests or visit other venues that request costumes this time of year. Deciding who or what you want to be is just the start. Premade costumes may seem like an easy choice but they may not be the perfect solution. Prices can be high, quality may be low and then there’s the sizing issue. Many costumes are sized broadly meaning they don’t really fit anyone particularly well. For those crafty individuals out there, making your own is always an option. Others may go the route of pulling together a costume comprised of ready made pieces. This can cost less and provide a better fitting outfit in the end. Whether you choose to go the full DIY route or just assemble your own pre-bought pieces, Stockpile, our fast free inventory solution, can be your secret weapon ensuring that you are the Halloween hero!
As we mentioned above, every good costume starts with a great idea. The decision process could be simplified if you just had a clear idea of what you have on hand. Often we waste time scurrying around trying to gather usable pieces. We rely on our memories to determine what might work and are unfortunately sometimes disappointed when we finally locate the item and realize that it isn’t exactly as we envisioned it. Now reimagine this process. You’re sitting on the couch with your mobile device or at your computer. You pull up Stockpile, our fast free inventory solution, and review your clothing and craft items. Hmmm….an idea comes to you, but what size are those boots? A few clicks and you find the size listed in the item record. Do you have the materials you need to make your accessories?
