Fans of Michael Jackson Cause Poster Sales to Soar

By Jenna Landers

On June 19 2009, you would have been able to pick up a King of Pop poster for less than ten dollars. One week on, there would not have been a lot of change from treble the amount. Today, that continues to be the case; and auction sites across the web have seen a huge rises in the placement of adverts for Michael Jackson posters.

As millions of fans across the world struggle to reconcile Jackson's death, an equally high number of people are looking at the collective outpouring of feeling as a time to profit.

Mindful of where we are economically at the moment, this is only to be expected. Many companies across the world, with exclusive rights for the sole distribution and marketing of Michael Jackson posters, are seeing a welcome boost in sales; which is having an impact on both local and global economies. One such company in the UK has seen sales rocket to two million worldwide in just three weeks.

The extra staff at Pyramid International has been to simply sort through the orders coming in; and even then it has been necessary for staff to come in at the weekend to ensure prompt processing.

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.

Whilst the tour posters have been redesigned quickly, efficiently and tastefully, (such is the demand of the newly commissioned three poster range), the presses are constantly rolling. Ironic that the one thing meant to jumpstart the King of Pop's finances, and therefore his life, has been the foundation for just this in death.

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. - 18423
