Professional ‘Disney Princesses’ Can Make HOW Much?
4 views - published on May 1st, 2013 in Disney News tagged Disney, disney news, disneyland, walt disney, walt disney worldFor companies specializing in providing rent-a-princess services to children’s birthday parties, business is sepulchral in a Washington, D.C., area.
We’re articulate gigs that compensate roughly $40,000 per year.
“I consider I’ve finished some-more than 800 parties now,” Rebecca Russell, owners and “principal Cinderella” of Princess Parties of Virginia, told a Washington Post. “It’s usually removing busier and busier.”
“It’s usually grown like crazy,” Heidi Martin, who started her possess princess-themed association in Stafford, Va., adds.
True, childish ardour with Disney-esque princesses is frequency new, though a rising direct in a D.C. area for all things princess-y has held a few relatives by surprise.
“I have relatives from D.C. all a time who call and say, ‘We don’t know where this came from, Disney is removing to her somehow,’” Russell told a Post. “They say, ‘We don’t even play with princesses though all she wants to do is put on a dress and dance around a house, and now she really, unequivocally wants Cinderella during her birthday party.’ ”
And a high-powered relatives of D.C. and Northern Virginia aren’t fearful to bombard out some critical income for a service.
“[At] an normal of $220 per party, even a correct princess can lift down $40,000 a year,” a Post records [emphasis added].
However, since Disney is (understandably) protecting of a billion-dollar princess empire, Russell schooled fast that she indispensable to be aware of copyright laws.
“I can contend I’m Cinderella since she was around before Disney,” she explained. “Rapunzel they don’t own, though ‘Tangled’ they do. Our Little Mermaid is not their Ariel. But we do demeanour like them.”
Again, deliberation a time and income Disney has invested in a princess business, it’s not startling that a association would strengthen a code so carefully.
From a WaPo:
Without doubt, Disney was a large crash that launched a ever-expanding princess universe. For decades, a association promoted princess products usually each 7 years or so, when “Snow White,” “Cinderella” and a other charcterised facilities would be expelled on a rotating basis.
But in 2000, executives carried those characters out of their films and began selling them together, year-round, as a “Disney Princesses.” The outcome has been annual sell sales of some-more than $4 billion, according to Disney, some 26,000 princess products and a era spooky with gowns and crowns.
A multi-billion dollar sovereignty that has spawned gigs with $40,000 per year? Not bad, Disney, not bad during all.
