Merchandising

This section concerns the sale of hard-good consumer products: items that people can touch, hold in their hands, put on their wall, wear.

The most important merchandise for filmmakers to sell are their DVDs. Here you will find links to DVD distributors as well as the tools necessary to DIY your DVD distribution:  fulfillment companies, replicators, shopping carts.  How to do this is covered in the four chapters of Section 5.  Also covered here are education sales.

But there are many other types of merchandise that filmmakers can produce:  posters, boxed sets, T-shirts, and soundtracks, games, graphic novels.  This section will also provide resources for producing those as well.
