Just three weeks ago, sales of Michael Jackson posters were nothing remarkable; whilst slight increases had been experienced due to the superstar’s upcoming comeback tour in London, England. However, in the three weeks since his tragic death, the race for Jackson memorabilia has been on. As a result, prices have soared as demand challenges supply.
Since the tragic death of the man that gave the world the Moonwalk, it is unsurprising that any and all memorabilia connected to Michael Jackson has jumped in value. Fans the world over clamor to have one final memento of the man and his music, whilst others hope their early purchases will increase further in value, as the outpouring continues.
For one company in the UK, this sudden boost has resulted in sales approaching two million in the three weeks since the death of the entertainer. So rapid has been this surge, and with demand increasing daily, extra staff to support the fifty permanent employees have quickly been taken on.
Despite this additional personnel coming in, with the order book still full and added to daily, working around the clock is very much to be expected through the course of the working week.
Until his death, sales of Michael Jackson Posters were averaging just 10, 000 each year; despite Pyramid holding the exclusive rights to sell posters of the star in the UK. However, the order book is today bursting with orders from the USA, Europe and Australia.
Originally intended for sale throughout the, “This Is It” tour, in London, these rapidly modified Michael Jackson posters have proved the most popular.
On a global scale, stories like this are replicated, as people are desperate to own their own final images of Michael Jackson.
It is not just the private companies that are making a profit from the untimely death of the King of Pop however. Whilst a high number of fans frantically try to get one final memento; one final celebration of the man, there are an equally significant number seeing the possibility of cashing in on their collections. Indicative not only of his appeal, but also how years of rumor and scandal have tarnished the man once cast in gold.
If you are willing to sell some of your old Michael Jackson posters, or some other memorabilia, it could be a welcome boost to help buy his unreleased music that is set to hit stores in the lead up the Christmas Holiday period this year.
