Our March TnP issue covers reviews of the ShowTime season which were all really well received, and we include reports from London Toy Fair, Nuremberg’s Spielwarenmesse and Spring Fair. The Xpo Fairs online gift fair is still going on and we’ll be covering that next month.
We have our best indie opinion column yet from Charlotte Croser of Jollys Toys. Unlike some retailers she had a bumper Q4 2024, which started quietly and accelerated right on into the new year. It’s great to see that she has positive comments about suppliers who are continuing to look after the smaller, independent toy retailers including Siku, Depesche and Bigjigs’ Green Toys.
The TnP specialist features are particularly lively this month with many contributions. You’ll want to head over to the Games & Puzzles, Preschool, Outdoor Toys & Ride-Ons and Pocket Money & Collectibles pages to see what’s happening with your competitors and, if you’re a retailer, good stuff to sell in your store.
Our front cover story is with Roger Martin marketing director of Asmodee and we have a whole host of our regular contributors across the issue.
There are plenty more retail interviews including the start of a series of interviews with the BTHA Retail Award Winners with Steve Pearson from The Entertainer and Amit Parekh of Moons Toys.
Enjoy the read.
