NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Would you pay more to sprinkle Times Square with pictures of yourself and your family on New Year's Eve?
Confetti makers are banking on it. According to a report in USA Today, confetti makers -- faced with flattening sales since the Sept. 11 attacks -- are providing consumers with the chance to ring in the new year (or any other special occasion) with fancier, designer confetti at double the cost of the standard tissue-paper products.
And party-happy consumers are willing to pay the big bucks for a little extra personalization.
Wouldn't it be great to see Dick Clark or any celeb announcer wearing confetti in Times Square saying Impeach Bush. Story is here:
