Spooky Ventures Celebrate 815 (Rockford) Day A Little Early

ROCKFORD, Ill. - July 29, 2019 - PRLog -- Poplar Grove, Illinois based company Spooky Ventures is paying tribute to its Rockford area roots with the release of new merchandise celebrating Rockford or 815 Day. Apparel, drinkware and more bearing "Spooky 815" and "Spooky Rockford" designs are available at Cafepress.com/spookyventures starting today. While Spooky Ventures is based in the Rockford area, local retail details haven't been arranged yet, so the merchandise will be available exclusively online. Residents should be able to order their merch and have it in time for celebrations, though.

Spooky Ventures is working to become a "go to" source for all things "spooky." Spooky Ventures is a combination entertainment and merchandising company. For now it's strictly on the Internet (with several interconnected pieces of that entity), but there are plans to establish some local physical connections, too. Spooky Ventures' motto is "Keep It Spooky," and that is reflected in all aspects of the endeavor.

The company is focused on a two-pronged approach to bringing spooky concepts to the people. The first of those approaches centers around the entertainment side. For the time being that's centered on a YouTube channel - located at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdfsZyyN7nz1XLkbltBC-Qw. There Spooky Ventures has been releasing weekly "Spooky News" segments along with old-time radio shows and audio books as video. A new interview series "Spooky Interviews" launched recently, a did a "Spooky Places" series. There are other original content concepts in the works, too. In addition to the original Spooky Ventures videos there are several playlists of "spooky finds" to entertain. Plans are being formed to co-host events around the area with "spooky" themes, too.

The second part of the business model focuses on merchandising, and there are two prongs to that part. First, Spooky Ventures branded merchandise for those interested in all things spooky are available at a CafePress store located at https://www.cafepress.com/SpookyVentures. The other side of the merchandise equation centers on calendars available at www.lulu.com/spotlight/SpookyVentures. While both online stores have merchandise available now, more offerings are planned in the future. Also, the intent is to eventually have some of the merchandise available locally, too.

All of the various approaches of Spooky Ventures are gathered together at SpookyVentures.com. There you will find links to both stores along with selections of videos from the YouTube channel that will change frequently. In addition, there are offerings to be found from Spooky Ventures' partner business Tales of Wonder and Dread Publishing there. Additionally there are plans for co-publishing various products in the future.
