TV Sitcom-Inspired Cufflinks

How I Met Your Mother Fans Will Appreciate these Legendary Cufflinks

— January 9, 2014 — Fashion
These legendary cufflinks are a fun gift for someone who's never missed an episode of How I Met Your Mother.

The stylish cufflinks are from BlackbirdDesignUK on Etsy and they'll instantly make the wearer feel as unstoppable and awesome as the famous Barney Stinson. The set reads 'legen' on one and 'dary' on the other which perfectly fits with the way Barney speaks. Throughout the series, one of the character's catch phrases is, "legen, wait for it, dary" with dramatic pauses in between.

While these legendary cufflinks are small, they definitely make a bold statement. Whether you wear these with a work suit or to a fancy formal, people who watch the show as well will appreciate the humor you've added to your outfit.
Trend Themes
1. Niche Tv-inspired Accessories - The popularity of TV shows can be leveraged to create a variety of niche accessories. This trend applies to a broad range of TV genres.
2. Revival of Fan Merchandise - Fans of TV shows and movies can be enticed to purchase merchandise that reflect their loyalty to the media franchise, which can lead to increased customer acquisition. This trend can be applied to other realms in entertainment such as music, sport, and gaming.
3. Humor-packed Fashion Staples - Humor-packed fashion staples (like the 'legen-dary' cufflinks) could lead to brand differentiation in this category, as they are both functional and humorous items that showcase personal style and creativity. This trend can be applied to other fashion categories to draw in younger, trendier customers.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Humorous and functional fashion accessories based on their favorite TV shows or movies can attract younger customers and energize tired product categories.
2. Entertainment - Entertainment-related apparel or accessories can create revenue streams outside of the traditional production of content, lighting fans' passions and increasing customer engagement and loyalty.
3. E-commerce - By developing a strong online presence due to the popularity of niche items such as these cufflinks, businesses can increase their reach and provide sustainable revenue streams for fan-targeted products.
