The five members of 1D have had their faces plastered on calendars, pillows, blankets, shirts, jewelry, school supplies, backpacks, toothbrushes/toothpaste, and iPhone cases. They also have their very own dolls and they even sing to you. The dolls are made by Hasbro and they have seen good sales from the dolls. And there are tons of shirts with expressions like "I love 1D" or "Future Mrs. Horan". Some stores that sale 1D merchandise are Delias, Claires, and Target. These stores get increased revenue from all the crazy fangirls willing to buy anything with "their future husband's" face on it. One Direction even has its very own stores in New York, Chicago, Canada, and Australia with over 125 items for sale. The boys have made 126 billion and a lot of it is due to merchandise as well as music sales and sold out concerts. One Direction has an advantage by selling so much merchandise. There was never Beatles toothpaste like what 1D has. One Direction will generate more money because they have their faces on so many products.
