Implications - Products like this appeal to niche consumers who aren't afraid to have creepy artwork compliment their interior decor, and who instead openly embrace it. A designer or company that specifically gears its designs towards thematic products like this can make the most of these unorthodox preferences. Needless to say, being prim and proper isn't everyone's goal when it comes to their favorite decorations, and that is something even the most successful of businesses should remember.
