The poster for the latest issue of Empire magazine is saleable based on the interest from customers for posters for Girlfriend, Dolly and other titles recently featuring Twilight relates images. While the poster is promoting the collectors issue of the magazine, I could easily offer this as a collectors poster. We are planning a Twilight display covering magazines, the game, the puzzle, the calendar and gifts so the poster and other collateral will be put to good use. Whether to offer this and other Twilight posters for sale is a moral dilemma I am sure other newsagents face.
Now I have read some really tight stuff on this blog but talking about selling posters is really an all time low.
The people who want these are kids not hardcore collectors, to even think this out loud does nothing to help the newsagent name.A post relating to the popularity yes but adding the bit about selling posters is way off.
Also hardcore collectors would only want flat posters not folded wheras kids who drooll will take anything.
Mary, you are once again jumping at shadows. Read my post again.
If they were rude about it I’d charge them $5???
But if they’re polite and a paying customer I’d give it away free.
Run a comp guys, buy some merchandise drop your receipt in a barrel and win the posters!!!
Allan, We are waiting for a response from the party (bank of New York) which claims ownership over this.
Thanks Mark, in the meantime do you think we could charge them rent for the space????
…twilight fans would feed off anything… the books aren’t even great. (i’ve got them, and they’re mediocre at best compared to other authors in my collection)
[off topic; and vampires do NOT SPARKLE IN SUNLIGHT. thats just a dude wearing loads of makeup.]
LMAO @ Aaron – I can see the toothmarks from here LOL
I view posters like video stores. Any collateral (posters, stands) received in a video shop usually has a list of names of people who want the posters. First with their name down gets the poster/stand/whatever. I wouldn’t offer them for sale. I doubt many would want the newsagency version of posters with the big ‘ON SALE NOW’ that you don’t get on movie posters. I don’t think I’ve ever been asked before??
We find customers lined up on the last day of Halloween for our Halloween posters!
people wanted the posters for the michael jackson tribute magazines, which is understandable… but twilight….
