august of 1989
in August 1989, signifit ges began. One of them started on August 13, marking the end of a social era. The USSR came to an end after the initial stages of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which had been a symbol in the Cold War, repced by the divisiowee a Germany. This event was a signifit milestone in the reunification of Germany and the transition to capitalism, which spread its roots to different eies across Europe.
It is unclear whether one of the mortifying reasons for the devaluation of the US dan in 1989, with the birth of an empowered European Union through new political ges aructurings sihe 1950s, or the growth of different Asian powers that domihe Pacific seas with their inexpensive goods and rge wholesale sales. The cept of "Made in a" became synonymous with low-priced industry.
From Billy Carson's perspective, the good days in his business ventures seek the light of a pany chasing money. While art should never pursue as an end, only money propel his dreams to fruition.
The start of the new Lux ics collectible cards, a package of collectible cards for each character with some iiails, became well-knowo the overexploitation experienced by these events, especially in the NBA, sports, and Marvel series. For now, Billy would only fo Dunk since he had a promotion with Nike and had some colborations to fulfill with four professionals and a team sponsored by he Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, and Chicago Bulls.
He khat the boom that would arise ter with all the characters from the Chicago Bulls being three-time champions and starting a neter in basketball would ignite a fever in the hearts of those fans who lived through it—araordinary era in Ameri sports history.
Basketball cards would sell well, with a need for at least 15 million dolrs by 1995, which seemed unreasonable for an individual. With the betting system, everything could be easier. I just had to enerous bet to the winner, and voi, the money would e naturally. Among the collectible cards, the most important aspects are timing, design, and expertise in handling the medium.
The most only used tactic by panies is to print a limited number of cards as stocks run low. It involves studying the market aermining when the supply might decrease sales. Then abruptly cutting off the instrus and initiating new colles. Anything that falls into the realm of collectible items gee ambitious demand over time from those willing to pay unreasonable prices for luxuries.
Nike sponsorships prove to be effective promoters, and one of them is the exposure desired for these cards. From my perspective, it's about creating open space for retionships with Peter and Nike's ma. In the realm of sports brands, it's about selling a dream product to those ire to bee great pyers in their lifetime.
Here's the pn I'm pursuing to iate with the NBA fhts to promote an animated card game featuring their teams. Engage in discussions with some pyers sponsored by Nike and go all-in with the release of special animated Sm Dunk cards. The focus is not solely on profits but on exposure. Rec the card iment is suffit. This marketing strategy may only work once. Iure, many panies would go crazy over this strategy, and the lising costs might bee unaffordable for the ipany. However, it would undoubtedly mark a beginning in sp marketiures in different districts, such as toys, video games, clothing, and collectible items.
The baseball card market began in 1880, while basketball cards emerged in the 1930s. There have been several eras, and not all of them have been fruitful. It's important to sider how prosperous the current era is and how passionate your target market is, as well as whether your product offers enough y.
In general, it expands to cover various sports and ter extends to albums and other important themes like musids, sports, cars, or other iions. However, bringing those great stars into the animated circle is just a glimpse of what's to e. In 1996, Fleer Ultra Motion cards will ehe Marvel realm, and so on. But only a market with a clear uanding of printing cycles succeed, although extraordinary events may occur where the type of product bees beloved and appreciated.
- Billy, pay attention in css... Stand up, you've been staring out the window the whole time without showing a hint of attention to my lesson, - the teacher said.
- Ah, yes, sorry, - Billy replied.
- You've been distracted all day, - Cudia said. - Is something wrong? -
-Not at all, I just have one of those ptive battles going on in my mind, - Billy said.
-ptive battles, e on, stop lying. I saw you staring at Jessica this m, - Cudia said.
-I don't think I know who Jessica is, - he replied.
- Oh, e on! Everyone is crazy about her, it's normal - Cudia said.
- Well, I don't like her. I have a different type of taste... though she's pretty, I prefer other kinds of pany, - Billy said.
- Haha, you sound like my grandfather... other kinds of pany, - Cudia ughed.
- I'm serious, - Billy said.
-Please, pay attention, it's an important topic! - the teacher said again, raising his voice slightly.
-Very serious. You better tell me everything during lunch, - Cudia said.
-Lunchtime is too short to tell you my thoughts, - Billy said.
-Oh, Mr. Mysterious again. That doesn't work with girls like me, - Cudia said.
-Girls like you? -he asked.
-Yes, you know, handsome guys, we cool, cheerful, intelligent women who are more mysterious, -Cudia said.
-I still don't uand, I got stuck at the part about being a handsome guy,- Billy said.
-"Oh, ceited, -Cudia said.
-Shhh, - Mr. Costantine said.
Cudia didn't pay attention for the rest of the css. She hated fras, and she hated math problems even more. Repeating school wasn't fun or reended. She'd rather repeat uy courses a thousand times. Although nostalgia is associated with the time spent in school, taking csses is not something she would reend.
-Cudia, wait, you're not going to the rehearsal room, - Billy said.
-I am, I just have to go to my locker, - she replied.
-I'll apany you, - he said.
-Okay. What do you think of the py? Are you going for the lead role? - she asked.
-I don't feel like it, - he replied.
-Oh, well, you should. Your ag is det, and they only give the lead role to the arrogant jerk because no one else tries, - Cudia said.
-Yeah, but I don't want to get into trouble. I want a peaceful student life, - he replied.
-Well, get excited. articipate iate py petition and perform on a bigger stage. You know, if you want to be an actor, theater is a good stepping sto even help you ter if you want to join an ag academy, -Cudia said.
-Ag academy...? -he asked.
-You're clueless. You say you dream of being an actor and don't even know. Look, actors take courses in academies certified by the industry. Getting into those academies be dohrough a registered agent, a union-affiliated actor, a letter of reendation, or those with theater experience, - she expined.
- It's difficult to get into those academies... Why doesn't aalk about it? - Billy said.
- Well, you're supposed to know... there are many strahings, but I help you. My mother is a professional photographer and knows a thing or two about the industry. That's why I hate the idea of being an actress, - she told him.
- But what does that have to do with being the lead in the py and the academies? I don't see any relevant e, - Billy said.
- Well, everyone focuses oar, and the academies look for promising talents. They 't accept just anyone due to the academy's profile. They stake their reputatioime you make a movie or hand your resume to someo's all about credentials,- Cudia expined.
- So, it's a way to pave the path to fame...-
- You call it what you want, but yes, starting from the bottom es with its costs, - Cudia said.
- Everything has a cost, especially when you live in a money-driven try. The dires are always ambiguous, but if yoal is to establish yourself as an actor, you'll have to navigate these issues, - Billy said.
- It is me, but I'll have to check my schedule. You know, with my attempt at early graduation, my theater time is limited, - Billy said.
- That's true... let's just leave it like that. Why early graduation, though?- Cudia asked.
- To go to CalArts. My father wants me to study business, but I want to go to animation school. By graduating early, I do both, - Billy said.
-Incredible! Yoing to CalArts! You know it costs a fortune, - Cudia said.
- I know, but still, I'm going, - Billy said.
- Now I'm just envious. Well done for ruining my day, - Cudia said.
- Wait, Cudia! Don't be mad. I'm sure if we start saving from now on, you go too, - Billy said.
- It's impossible, genius. If I save my entire weekly allowa's 20. I'd have to starve myself to save another 20, - Cudia said.
-Well, how about I treat you to lunch, and you save 3? You must start somewhere, - Billy said.
- Damn it, now I just want money, and I won't stop thinking about making money until tonight. You 't do this to me, you know I'm anxious, - said as she pyfully hit him.
- Wait, there are ways to make money. You don't have to get angry, - Billy said.
- I don't want to work, that's for adults. I'm too young to wake up early on Saturdays. Plus, what are you expeg? 15,000 is a hefty fee per semester, -Cudia said.
-Photography only takes 2 years, and with lighting, you do it in three. If you mahe first year, it's guaranteed your mom will pay for the one, and you save for two years to pay for the third, - Billy said.
-It doesn't sound like a bad idea, but still, it's 15,000 over four years. That's a lot,- Cudia said.
-Let's go to css. I have some ideas that might help, - Billy said.
