MerchandisingNo longer is film merchandise merely a promotional tool used to boost the fortune of a film at the box-office. Worldwide, it has proved to be a successful hook for film studios, itself making healthy contributions to a film’s revenue streams and sometimes (albeit rarely) generating even more than the box-office collections themselves.Consider this — tied along with the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the worldwide sale/licensing of Harry Potter merchandise has touched US $ 1 billion – figurines, food tie-ups, posters, accessories, comic strips, stationery to magic kits and home furnishings featuring Harry and friends from the Hogwarts school. And, who can forget Ghost Busters, Jurassic Park, ET-The Extra-terrestrial – ‘stuff’ that legends are made of, literally, for they stood out for their innovative merchandise, as much for their box-office collections.Synergy is now the key, as web technology is linking the producers and merchandising in ways never thought possible before. Web viewers are already able to link from devoted sites to buy their favorite toys.

More recently, there have been much-hyped auctions of film posters-jazzed up/rare/or sometimes purely common-selling as pop or kitsch art. The future of film merchandise however, lies not in auctions catering to a minuscule audience and generating even more minuscule monies, but in identifying, introducing, producing, retailing, promoting creative mass merchandise options in films. A new generation of Independent Producers/Filmmakers are also beginning to look at merchandise seriously and some have already had a reasonable degree of success.The spectrum of merchandise that it could promote – board and video games, posters, accessories, comic strips (why, even an open ended one, propose your ‘own’ end to the story. The best option is released yet again!). Small budget, crossover nullifying doubts that merchandise is a big film phenomenon – no it isn’t. It is a “great promotion”, phenomenon. And obviously, a “great film” phenomenon too. Let’s look at how multiplexes too, besides offering a world-class cinema experience to the filmgoer bring about new possibilities: a) They present a filmmaker a viable option – release niche films targeted to an urban audience, thus changing the tilt,b) Form an ideal platform for retail/display/ promotion of film merchandise.

Sustained efforts from the film industry have recently resulted in lowering of entertainment tax in many key centres, such as Delhi, not just bringing more people into cinema halls and more often, but also ‘freeing’ a certain notional amount from the filmgoers budget, that could now be manoeuvred towards merchandising options.Like multiplexes, other emergent retail options in the form of malls, food-courts, coffee bars, gift outlets, pubs, similarly present ready channels for retail/promotions. Technology is not too far behind, with Internet penetration increasing rapidly and online ticketing kiosks coming up at prominent city centres, usage of which would certainly not be limited to dispensing tickets.
