Toys Toys Toys

Toys Toys Toys is a retailer that that sells a wide assortment of toys which is amid to children as young as infants, to puzzles for adults. They have been around since 1990, and their retail strategy is to find toys that no other retailer can find and offer them at a low price. They also stand out from their leading competitors by providing superior customer service and having employees that know and value their products. They also have a Discount Club that you can join up on the company website (http://toyscubed.com), which provides their customers with great deals at discounted prices. (Toy Toys Toys)
The location of this retailer that I visited was the one at Scarborough Town Center. It is located on the lower floor by the McDonald’s food court (The exact location can be located on the mall directory which is the last page in this document). Toys Toys Toys offers a wide range of toys for infants to puzzles for adults. Toys Toys Toys is a specialty store that offers a depth assortment of toys. The stores prices range from $1.99 to $299.99. The cheapest item in the store was crayons that cost $1.99 and the most expensive item that was available it the store was the Star Wars Lego that cost $299.99. The price point that they had was set at .99 cents. Toys Toys Toys targets their merchandise to people who have a low to medium income and who have children.
There are many different target markets that Toys Toys Toys have. This would depend on what kind of toy (and the age of the child) the shopper was looking for. In saying that, one target customer would be a 3 year old to 5 year old girl who would want a doll like a Dora Explorer, Zue-Fari Pets, to items like crayons and play

    Why to Invest in Mattel

    Mattel is the world’s #1 toy maker with more than 30,000 employees and more than $4 billion in sales. A well-established core product portfolio has set Mattel’s established position in the toy market much higher than their competitors. Its products include Barbie, Fisher-Price toys, Hot Wheels and Matchbox Cars, American Girl dolls books, and licensed Disney and Sesame Street products are just a few that have helped them reach such great profits throughout the world. Although Mattel leads the industry, it recognizes the complexity of staying on top in a highly competitive and shifting business. While keeping their sales outlets current, toy companies must constantly seek to achieve the next big hit. In addition the rising pressure of big-box retailers, the Internet, and catalog sales have affected the direction of the industry in more ways than one.…

    Femingdon Park Demographic Analysis

    Flemingdon Park is located in the North York region of Toronto. It is home to approximately 22,000 residents mainly from foreign places. This collective population accounts for approximately 0.8% of Toronto’s total population. This paper will thoroughly cover the diverse demographics of Toronto’s “Apartment City.” The conclusions will be drawn through strategically chosen features of the community’s demographics in relation to planning principles. Aspects that will be touched upon will include; age, gender, ethnicity/immigration and income in reference to dwelling types. By exploring such facets of the community, one will be able to depict the demographics of Flemingdon Park, thus the planning ideals as well. Furthermore, these numbers will then allow us to make a comparison between the City of Toronto as a whole and Flemingdon as a region. Careful analysis and interpretation of these sets of data will lead to a further understanding of Flemingdon and its social and developmental components. This information will give insight into the methodology and reasoning behind specific planning decisions. We will begin this study by examining the age groups within the neighbourhood, and then strategically progress and conclude with more specific findings with reference from Statistics Canada.…

    Applying Maxine Clark's Decisions To Build-A-Bear

    Build-A-Bear workshop stores were first established in 1996 by Maxine Clark whose influence came from former CEO of May Department Stores who had stated, “Retailing is entertainment and the store is a stage - when customers are happy, they spend more money” ( Dess, c261). Build-A-Bear’s intentions were to differentiate themselves by giving people the feeling of bringing their teddy bear to life. You could give it a heart, a name, a wardrobe and many other personal touches. Build-A-Bear is about two things, “entertainment and customization” (c261). At the time of its introduction, following their differentiation strategy, there was not much competition for customized children’s toys. However, after the concept of customization…
