Marketing Memorabilia

Collectible items demonstrate the importance of in-person marketing

Implications - Instead of focusing solely on digital content, entertainment marketers are investing extra time executing in-store promotions and giveaways. Offering collectible items not only appeals to the super-fan, but also works to attract new viewers by engaging them in a sense of exclusivity. More importantly, tangible offerings ensure that an experience is not only immediately shareable, but memorable long after the event has taken place.
Workshop Question - What impact does in-person marketing have on your business? Are consumers walking away with something memorable?
