The Hannah Montana and High School Musical stationery and calendars from Hallmark have hit at a good time. They fit nicely into the Christmas and trade on the back of excellent recent publicity. The products also serve a demographic for our traditional shoppers shop.

Not all licenced product works this well – you have to weigh the market carefully.
