    Licensed Celebrity merchandising is a business with very few competitors in Taiwan and the entire Greater China area. As the number of album sales drops, music artists are exploring wider income possibilities. Utilizing artist names as brands and expanding into diverse product lines can be a profitable business if enhanced with celebrity style and creative design.
    This research has collected data on current merchandising market in Taiwan, sales figures of an anonymous artist’s concert merchandises and 50 questionnaires completed by celebrity merchandise consumers. The information collected is used to construct StarBay’s start up plan and forecast future financial outcome. The sales figures of the anonymous artist are used as a reference on current market size. Results from the questionnaire reflected current consumer attitude towards merchandise in the market and possible purchasing behavior is observed and used in product development.
    A successful celebrity brand focuses on developing products of quality, creative design, practicality and reflection of the celebrity’s style. The brand should also evolve with the celebrity’s career of fame in order to remain in the market for long. A Celebrity merchandising company can potentially be a profitable business in Taiwan with the current market needs and conditions.
