McDonald’s is also one of a number of brands that believe there will be a hunger to purchase virtual goods. Gamers have long been used to customizing their characters and buying items that enhance their character’s abilities within their games. Magic flaming sword anyone?
Nike, for example, has acquired RTFKT, an NFT company that makes virtual sneakers for metaverse users to wear in their virtual worlds. Gucci has sold virtual clothing exclusives in Roblox that were only available for a limited time – some of which re-sold at very high prices.
Some brands are pinning their hopes on lithuania telegram screening customers wanting to have the same items in both virtual form for their avatar and physical for themselves. Forever21 has a Roblox world via a license agreement with Virtual Brands Group. The two parties have a revenue share agreement and have been selling ‘Forever’ branded digital beanie hats for 50 cents a unit. They’ve reported sales of 2,000 units a day with an expectation of 1.5 million sales by the end of 2022. Cost of goods is apparently less than $500 in total.[8]
Now the partners are planning physical versions of the beanie alongside other merchandise lines developed in the Roblox environment. Virtual Brands Group CEO and founder Justin W. Hochberg said: “To R&D this costs them zero, and there are zero refunds and defects, but now they know there’s a market.”
McKinsey’s survey of business leaders found 95% “expect the metaverse to have a positive impact on their industry within five to 10 years.”
