We all remember the increase in sales of Yakult after To All The Boys I Loved Before...From Tom Cruise's Rayban to Lara Jean's Yakult, here are a few more examples.
The perks of movie marketing have been tried and tested to the point wherein certain brand placements led to the product going viral.
Everything about a movie is iconic. It's like a fairy-tale people choose to believe in. So, when they see their favorite actor wearing Aviators or their dearest actress wearing a dazzling dress, they want to wear it too. It doesn't matter if the brand has integrated a paid promotion or the product placement is to signify the characteristic of a character or a scene, that the product represents too.
Time & again Bollywood movies have set trends over the years. Religious fans know no length, if they see something in a movie they like, they want to buy it. If their pockets are not deep, they would make a hole in it to buy the product. Which is why products have picked up after being spotted in a movie and the sales have stayed high at least till the movie buzzed around.

Tom Cruise redefined Aviators and their prominence.
