Just recently it was reported that the toy industry is only now
recognizing the marketing potential of Easter (the card and candy
companies knew). Likewise, the retail industry has overlooked the
marketing potential of St. Patrick’s Day. It is a sleeping
giant.
O’SHAWN will turn the
event into the 17 days of March with specials throughout the month.
The introduction of O’SHAWN THE ELFRECHAUN®
will be the biggest event in St. Patrick’s Day festivities since the
river ran green in Chicago. He is positioned to become America’s
good luck symbol. His “luck of the Irish” heritage is his
marketing edge over trolls posing as leprechauns.
The world is primed for
some light-hearted fun, just like when Chicago turned its river
green. Our licensees will reap financial rewards from “Elfrechaun-mania.”®
Fads fade, but legends are forever.
The ”History of St. Patrick’s Day in America”
follows.
