Unlike Beanie Babies and other big fads, bobblehead dolls seem poised to be around for a while. This is partly due to the fact that they have a personal touch, and aren’t just for sports fans. They’re also a great way to promote your business.
The A’s begin kicking ideas for bobbleheads in July or August for the following season and then have about five months to develop a candidate and get it approved. Then they have to wait a few more months for the dolls to be manufactured and distributed.
While the novelty of these endearing figurines is the primary driving force behind their popularity, they also evoke quick nostalgia and a kindling sentimentality in people. They represent cherished memories of childhood idols or impeccable movie icons and are also a great stress-relief tool for many. The act of gazing at them evokes fond memories and a sense of adventure which diverts attention from stressful thoughts.
Bobbleheads can be made to depict the recipient’s hobbies, passions and even their quirks to create a one-of-a-kind piece that is unique to them. This level of customization sets personalized gifts apart from generic presents and elevates them into something that is truly special.
For example, when the Twins gave out Killebrew bobbleheads to fans last season, 27,000 fans showed up to receive them. This helped drive ticket sales and was a major factor in the rise of the bobblehead craze. It also served as a way for sports fans to show their unwavering support of their teams and players. Businesses can use custom bobbleheads to boost employee morale by gifting them with one of themselves. This will help them feel like they are a part of the team and helps build a positive culture in the workplace.
