In the past we all bought a new paper poppy every year. Now there are plastic poppies, metal poppies, even knitted poppies which we can bring out year after year - being seen to participate in Remembrance Day with no need to contribute to the British Legion.
I've even seen bejewelled poppies sold as jewellery by companies who pass on virtually nothing of their cost.
I know many of us do still contribute (especially us oldies) but I think there is far less incentive now.
