________________ *A product line extension introduces a new item in the same product category: new flavors (e.g. Cherry Coke, Coke Zero), formats, colors, added ingredients, package sizes (e.g. mini cans), etc. †Swag originally was pirate-speak for loot, booty or plunder. In current times, it has evolved to mean freebies: giveaways for customers and goody bags for party-goers and event attendees, etc. It can take the form of branded tee-shirts, mugs, key chains, and anything related to the brand (beauty products, sports accessories, e.g.). At exclusive events, the goods are equally exclusive. The 2020 Academy Awards swag bag was valued at $225,000, up nearly $80,000 from the prior year’s haul. In contrast, the 24-karat-gold-plated Oscar statuette costs just $400 to make [source]. |
