6. Reduce the cost We found that the cost was way over our budget so we discovered that we should:  Hire the mannequins instead of buying used ones which makes the cost only $ 45 x 4 = 180. so that cut the price down by $100.  We found strobe lights a set of four for the four walls for only $29.99 so that works out to be $ 20 cheaper.  We found a whole row of red curtains for $14.99 and we would have two of those one as you walk in and the other for the back of the room which makes it only $29.98 which cuts the price by $180.  We also found costumes for only $10 each so that cuts the price by $20.  We also deciced to hire the tables from a different place and we got a deal for 6 tables for only $99 a night which cuts the price by $81.  We also hired a smoke machine for $19.99 for the night which cuts the price by $15.  We got posters for a deal for 5 for only $25 so that cut the price by $25.  We found a deal where we could get the make up done 12 for only $60 so that cut the price by another $60.  We shopped around and found the same as the red eyed skull candles but a little smaller for a pack of 20 for $15 so we got two 20 packs for only $30 so that made a huge difference it cut the price by $209.60  We also found a pack of fake knifes at the reject shop for a 4 pack for $7 so that cut the price by $14  We found that we could get plastic horror table cloths to cover the 40 tables by getting 5 in a pack for $ 10 so that works out to be only $80 and cut the price massively by 319.60.  We gathered all this information and costs together and worked out that it’s a lot better and works out for our budget and it would become successful.
