I'd be very curious to look at sales numbers for stuff like seasonal greetings, lightsticks and etc

I'd say they have to be decent if the companies still do it.

Gotta be some profit in it lol.

For groups that tour you can guess a little by the attendance numbers and obviously add more, but that's it.

And I'm curious too.

Because they are more expensive, obviously people bulk buy less of them.

But both lightsticks and season's greetings come with photocards, so collectors either buy several ones, or trade/buy photocards seperately.

I don't think sales of non-album physical merchandise would be THAT different from actual album sales, in proportional terms.

DCC definitely sells shittons of them, all DC concerts are full of these

Wtf, lmao! That's a crazy ass weapon.

Also looks very expensive so, yes lol.

I think there are only few things left that aren't exploited by fans to cheat their faves into popularity. Like we know mass streaming is a thing, we know that mass organized album buying projects are a thing, we even know buying followers for their faves is a thing. We've come to a very ridiculous point with the fandom wars.

But I've never seen people mass buying stuff like season greetings or lightsticks (unless you're a somnia trying to build your own mongmongie tower ). So I am curious to look at what each groups sales are for these non competitive things.

oh no i am a mass sgs buyer......if it comes with pobs. i will happily buy 5 sgs if it means i get a full set of pobs

Not all groups that tour sell out? Or you mean like the company makes estimates based on lightsticks and stuff

Or actually they could try to google the mass buying projects to take them into account

I didn't typed it, just copied from pann

oh

I have two Dreamcatcher lightsticks and their other attachment/light, as well as a Blackpink hammer and the Itzy one (and a blackpink and itzy lightring/stick keyring)

I have bought SOME seasons greetings and non album photobook sets, but find they are much more expensive than albums and much heavier, which makes shipping absolutely gross

Like I've skipped all the recent Dreamcatcher photobook set things. They look super cool, but they just end up so expensive

Companies always have the numbers bc all lightsticks, tickets etc sold they directly receive the money, but for us we can use groups that have concerts and just try to guess the amount of lightsticks and actually adding more as for example, BP doesn't have concerts in LATAM, but their lightsticks sell a lot here and in their tours we can see pretty much almost everyone has a lightstick. Just trying to guess.
