How can we stand out from other companies in the 2026 promotion? Are you struggling with wanting to know the trends of merchandise that fans will truly love?
If the goods that have been carefully produced cannot meet the expectations of fans, there is even a risk of damaging the brand image. What are the three latest novelty trends to watch for in 2026? [Trend 1] Utilizing "NFC and AR technology" to merge digital and real experiences. For example, embedding NFC tags in acrylic stands so that when a smartphone is held up, exclusive voice messages play. [Trend 2] "Personalization features" that further accelerate fan activities. Leaving room for fans to add their own touches will be a key point for projects in 2026. [Trend 3] Contributing to a circular society with "eco and upcycled materials." "Upcycled goods" made from scraps of costumes that were supposed to be discarded or materials reused from event venues are gaining attention.
