The merchandise line for our film will be useful for me and my group as it supplies two key elements. One of which, is a secondary stream of income. People will have to buy our merchandise, meaning we will make money off of the products we sell. This will increase the profitability for the film and allow us to recoup some of the costs spent on making the film. The other element it supplies is how it is free marketing. If people were to buy these products, they would show them out in public, like a shirt or phone case, which people see. Not only is this free marketing, we are being paid to market our film. This is because people see the title and cover art and immediately associate it to our social media page which has the same design. This keeps our film fresh in people's mind and means people are constantly thinking about it when they see these products.
