WHAT IS BRAND LICENSING?

FOR RETAILERS & MANUFACTURERS

Brand licensing allows you to ‘rent’ a well-known brand and use it on your products

  • Connecting a powerful brand to an in-demand product helps increase sales and drive additional revenue
  • Retail sales from licensed merchandise reached $292.8 billion in 2019, with a YOY growth of 4.5%

Aside from generating additional revenue opportunities, brand licensing also addresses many of the challenges facing the retail industry today. Licensing a brand will:

  • Give you a competitive advantage
  • Let you engage new and existing customers with exciting in-store activations
  • Limit your inventory risk by enabling you to leverage the success of an already established brand

"Brand Licensing has become a business imperative for any brand owner or product maker looking to take their company to the next level. It is one of the best ways to create an experiential shopping opportunity for customers to engage with beloved brands in novel ways. The glamour and appeal of products licensed to hit movies, TV shows, sports events, celebrities, famous characters and even fashion brands make them eminently suitable for products across verticals and regions.”

Steven Ekstract – Managing Director, Global Licensing Advisors

FOR BRAND OR IP OWNERS

  • Simply put, brand owners lease the use of their IP and can receive royalties
  • From major corporations to small businesses, licensing is also widely used as a marketing and brand extension tool.
  • From entertainment IPs to sports and art & design to fashion all can be translated into licensed products that increase brand exposure and make their way into consumers every-day life.
  • Licensing can extend a brand into new categories, areas of a store or into new types of retail stores entirely
  • Brand Licensing is a way for brand owners to increase their current fan base and move into new business categories without major investment in new manufacturing processes

Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer or an IP owner, licensing helps bring brands and products together and ultimately to fans and consumers in new and innovative ways.
