🎈 What's more inspiring than learning from our little listeners directly? 🎉 Recently, we hosted a co-play session with 18 kids to discover what they do while listening to the Toniebox and which products they'd like to have around it. In two 90-minute sessions, structured around "Listening," "Play," and "Create," we observed and interacted with our little customers, generating valuable insights for future product innovations. Many thanks to Agency Kreatives for your support! Here’s what we learned: 🧩 Interactive Stories: - Kids are eager for more engaging content: coloring, drawing, and DIY activities. - Parents appreciate interactions that are least distracting but highly engaging for kids. - Stories that include moments for movement (dancing, jumping, singing) are a hit! 📚 Learning Tonies for Older Kids: - There's strong interest in school-related content, language learning, and cultural education. 👥 Group Activities: - Opportunities for co-play in larger groups, such as birthdays and kindergartens, are highly appealing. - Parents and entire families are interested in engaging together with Tonies. 🎨 Art and Creativity: - Activities like coloring, drawing, and crafting while listening are very popular among kids. These direct experiences and observations fuel our product innovation, ensuring that we continue to create engaging, educational, and fun products for our young listeners. Stay tuned for more exciting updates! 🌟 Do you have any other ideas on how to evolve our offering for the little ones?

🚗 Bon voyage - but how to entertain kids on long trips? 🧳 😫 85% of parents admit to losing their patience with their kids on the road - we might have an idea for you 😉 📱 Keeping kids entertained on long road trips is a challenge for parents. 76% of parents admit that their children spend at least part of the trip in front of screens. This is despite the fact that 81% of parents would like to to see screen-free entertainment alternatives such as storyboxes for their children. 📊 These are some of the findings of a recent OpinionWay study on behalf of tonies® France, conducted between May 3 and 10, among 1001 French families. Discover more from the full study here: https://urlr.me/sDvpV 💡 Nearly 60% of parents admit that they lack ideas to keep their children occupied on long trips. We are happy to help: a Toniebox not only has up to 7 hours of battery life, but also a headphone port. 🎧

We announced our Q1 results today and have started 2024 with a 20% YoY increase of group revenue to EUR 78.3 million driven by a strong Easter business. 💰 📈 We saw growth in all product categories and regions. Revenue in the strategically important North American region rose by 46.9% to EUR 27.9 million. Our CEO Tobias Wann comments: “In 2023, we achieved remarkable milestones, marking it as a record year for our company with exponential growth and becoming profitable on an EBITDA basis. As expected, we entered 2024 with an increase of revenue in Q1 of around 20% year-over-year and growth across all product categories and regions. Our Easter business exhibited strong performance, albeit facing supply chain challenges that resulted in some selected stock outs in the first quarter. As we progress further into the year, we anticipate a notable acceleration in our growth trajectory in the second half of the year, where we generate the majority of our revenue. The strategic initiatives implemented in the first quarter will play a crucial role to achieve our guided target of a growth rate of more than 33% in 2024. One such initiative is the launch of Clever Tonies, a new product category designed to engage older children with educational entertainment content.”
