Faint sleigh bells in the distance can only mean one thing… peak season for the toy sector is almost over, as most stores are already fully stocked with toys galore ready for the rush of eager parents! Then there’s the last-minute purchasers, who go online for inspiration when the toy shops are empty… So, if you’re an online toy company and you know you’ll soon be receiving last minute orders with tight delivery deadlines, you should have the power of a multi-carrier provider behind you! Giving peace of mind that no customers will be disappointed! Not a bad Christmas wish this year.

Stunning why more brick and mortar toy shops do not feature a professional demo dude or dudette. The magic, the energy and the sales. 🪄🦄 Data to support: ZipString was received June 8, 2024. We demonstrate every Saturday with Demo Dude. This $24-$30 item (depending on model) is a $1700 item in 1 month (we are in slow months). Do you know how many items we sold with more volume in 1 month? Two. Disney Stitch Real F/X and Gift Cards. We also track sales daily. 56% of ZipString is sold on Saturdays - demo day. Without this push and “seeding” the market this item will be just average. With demoing a Home Run. Make your shops magical. 🧙 #toys #toyindustry #toynews #brickandmortar #retail #games

GPI HOT TAKE: SUMMERWEEN 2025 WILL BE BIG! What is Summerween? Summerween is the experience of walking into a store in July and August expecting back to school products, but instead finding pumpkins, ghosts, black cats, and witches hats. Retailers are starting the Halloween season earlier and earlier, which means brands need to plan their inventory needs to match demand. Don't just take our word for it. From an article in Modern Retail (https://buff.ly/4g0BQR1): “We have already generated as much business in the last four weeks of Halloween this year that we did for the entire holiday last year,” said Beth Smith, managing director of Terrain, an Urban Outfitters brand. As demand for Halloween product and the length of the selling season both grow, GPI expects publishers to rise to meet the opportunity! Dobby, GPI's Office Dog is ready for more spooky season! Are you? 🎃👻 🎃 #summerween #retail #officedog #halloween #madebygpi #GPIHotTake #hottake
