Movie posters are a great way to spruce up that home or office space, but in today’s economy it’s nice to be able to save some money on your poster purchase. While not comprehensive, hopefully we can give you a few tips on cutting your costs and making your online poster shopping experience a more enjoyable one.
1. Look for online coupons. Seems like an obvious idea, but most poster store coupons are very time sensitive and typical search resources seems to lag behind here. If you can’t find a coupon at your favorite poster store, a good tip is to check related movie, fan or celebrity sites that offer movie posters.
2. Check for poster bargains or closeouts. While you may not be able to find the latest release many poster stores offer deals on older or hard-to-sell movie posters. Be sure to check the poster store search or site map if you’re having trouble finding any deals.
3. Look for holiday or year end sales. Some of the most active sales for movies posters other than year end holiday season are during back to school. College students are usually loading up on movie posters during this period so be sure to check for sales or offers during this time.
4. Contrast and compare poster stores. Not all poster stores are the same so be sure to compare prices on specific movie posters. Also, consider shipping into the equation. Free shipping can cut your costs and can make up the difference between slightly higher costs per item.
5. It you are really on a tight budget consider other options such as movie photos, lobby cards or smaller sized movie posters. Movie photos are a popular option and several 8x10 movie photos can be typically had at a lower cost than a common 24x36 inch movie poster release.
6. Join an email list. Many poster stores offer exclusive deals and offers through email.
7. Lastly, many poster stores offer framing options for your poster, but it doesn’t have to be the only option. Consider online or offline framing stores and you might be able to get a more attractive frame at a lower cost.
In conclusion, have fun in your search for a better movie poster and with any luck some of these tips will save you some cash in the process.
