Movies and More 📽️
How the box office defines your redemption prize assortment
Movies are a powerful force in American society. Their themes often mirror what is happening in non-fiction life, but just how much of an impact do films play on our economic field?
At the top of the food chain is The Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. The movies have made a collective $9.3 billion at the box office to date. This number will continue to grow immensely, as the franchise has planned films through 2020.
Next up is The Star Wars™ saga. These movies have garnered a close-second $6.7 billion through ticket sales, with new release dates scheduled until 2019. The franchise’s popularity is credited to its multi-generational appeal that makes a perfect recipe for box office and retail success.
So what does this mean for your redemption program?
Star Wars’™ toy licensing alone has generated $12 billion in sales. This gives your business the perfect avenue to profit based on popular social movements such as movies.
Movie franchises are even better for your redemption program because they keep similar product relevant in the marketplace for a longer period of time. Star Wars™, for example, has been around for almost 40 years. This gives you a larger amount of time to sell through your licensed merchandise.
