ME-Q Enhances Corporate Proposal for 'Glitter Coasters' Targeting Anime, Idols, and Sports Teams, Supporting Planning, Design, and Additional Production of Sales Merchandise

ME-Q, an original merchandise creation service operated by MAW Inc., is enhancing its proposal and consultation support for 'Glitter Coasters' as merchandise for anime and characters, idols, musicians, and professional sports teams.

Glitter Coasters are original goods featuring glitter particles sealed inside the body that move like a snow globe when the coaster is tilted. They combine the functionality of a usable coaster with the collectible appeal of a decorative item.

ME-Q offers consultations on product selection, color combinations, series development with multiple designs, design creation, mass production, additional production, and repeat manufacturing, while confirming details such as sales locations, target fan demographics, planned quantities, budgets, and desired timelines.

Background for Strengthening Corporate Proposals for Glitter Coasters

When corporations and organizations plan merchandise for anime, characters, idols, artists, or sports teams, they must carefully select products that stand out from standard items, match their fan base, allow for flexible design development, and balance practicality with collectibility.

ME-Q’s corporate consultation desk receives various inquiries regarding merchandise planning, such as:

- Creating visually distinctive products for anime or character licensed goods - Selling collectible merchandise for idol or music artist fans - Adding new sales items different from acrylic keychains or canned badges - Producing goods featuring professional sports team logos or player visuals - Finding practical merchandise suitable for sale at events, concerts, or game venues - Conducting additional production and series expansion with design variations

In response to such merchandise development considerations, ME-Q proposes plans that leverage the unique characteristics of Glitter Coasters. Consultations are available even at early stages before product selection, based on intended use, budget, quantity, and desired timeline.

About the Proposed 'Glitter Coaster'

The Glitter Coaster is a round original coaster approximately 110mm in diameter, with glitter and oil sealed inside. When moved or tilted, the glitter inside sparkles and flows.

A key feature is that users can enjoy not only viewing the printed design but also the visual changes when handling the coaster.

A removable silicone cover surrounds the edge. This cover serves as a design accent and also functions as a non-slip base during use.

Characters, members, artists, players, and team logos can be printed, making it suitable for official goods, concert merchandise, event sales, and online store products.

Reasons for Proposing Glitter Coasters as Corporate Sales Merchandise

ME-Q proposes Glitter Coasters as merchandise that combines practicality with collectibility.

Because the internal glitter moves when the coaster is tilted, it creates a visual effect distinct from standard printed coasters. It is ideal for adding unique items to sales lineups, different from standard products like acrylic keychains or canned badges.

Main reasons for proposing Glitter Coasters include:

- Enjoyable visual changes as the internal glitter moves when the coaster is handled - Functional as a usable coaster - Can also be marketed as a collectible decorative item - Easily adaptable to multiple designs featuring characters, members, artists, or players - Allows integration of glitter color and silicone cover color into product planning - Easy to express the image colors of works, brands, members, or teams - Suitable for series expansion and additional production with design variations

ME-Q emphasizes planning Glitter Coasters as a single product by combining glitter movement, printed design, glitter color, and silicone cover color.

Target Industries and Use Cases

Glitter Coasters can be utilized in product planning for the following corporations and organizations:

- Licensed goods for anime and characters - Official goods for idol groups - Concert and tour merchandise for musicians - Official and player merchandise for professional sports teams - Sales items for events, concerts, exhibitions, and game venues - Products for official shops and online stores - Collectible merchandise with multiple designs - Sales plans differentiating between regular and event-limited editions

Beyond printing visuals of characters, members, or players, differences between products can be expressed by selecting matching glitter and silicone cover colors based on each one’s image color.

Examples of Planning and Series Expansion Leveraging Product Features

By changing the combination of printed designs and colors, multiple product variations can be developed with Glitter Coasters.

Examples include:
