A wide range of different realms, such as cartoons, animation, motion pictures, comic books and other media are represented by licensed characters. In order to prevent their characters from being used against their will or without permission by individuals or businesses who are not entitled to do so, the owners of these properties can apply for character licensing to place restrictions on the use of their mascot characters.
When it comes to perceived value, gifts and items that feature these licensed figures outperform the great majority of other promotional offerings. Customers are given promotional items that feature licensed characters in exchange for their participation in the company’s promotion. These presents are well-liked by customers and have a positive reputation in the marketplace.

The licensed character tote bags from Unilever and Magnums feature a large imprint area for stamping marketing images and brand mascot. However, they maintained the design to a minimal level in order to maintain elegance and avoid seeming as a cheesy promotional item. The company used licensed characters, such as Disney characters for Unilever and Money Heist characters from the top-rated Netflix tv show Money Heist for Magnum. Because it is composed of high-quality materials, they can be confident that the branding will last for a longer period of time, resulting in increased repeat exposure.
