"This Ain't 2021!"

Last year at this time, retailers were scrambling in every way possible to insure that they would have enough inventory to last them through the Holiday Season. This year, things are markedly different.
Stores that I have talked to are amazed at how quickly their orders are arriving. In many cases, they are also arriving with 80% or more of what they ordered.
While there are significant issues in receiving hot items or newly produced toys, all indicators are pointing towards that this year is much different than last year.
It's important that you have both the right products and the right amount of inventory for this Holiday Season. We have put together a few guidelines to assist you with this.

1) "Cancel inhouse backorders"
One of the most common mistakes that we see is that retailers may have ordered something in January, never received it due to production issues, and then order it again in August. The product then arrives in October, and is essentially double of what the retailer wanted.
2)"Use cancellation dates"
While many orders are shipping quickly, we also have some toys that are taking 4-6 months to arrive. You may not want them to show up on December 10th.
Cancellation dates also help you control your inventory. By freeing up items that are on backorder, you may have extra funds to spend on some surprise best sellers that you have found.
3) "In 2022, it's more important to order frequently, than doing large orders for the whole season"
We have some stores that do a great job of working with us on lots of small/medium sized orders on a regular basis. They are constantly reviewing their sales, and seeing what's trending for them. They are nimble and quick, and can know when to go heavy into an item. Because they are not sitting on unsellable inventory, they have funds do so.
4) Add ship dates to your orders
Last year it was necessary to take in almost every order as an immediate shipment. This year if you did that, you would be overwhelmed with inventory. Spread out your ship dates between now and mid October.
5) The exception to the rule
It's also important to know which manufacturers are the exception to the rule. For instance, we have one vendor that seems to be out of product by mid October every year. It's important by August, that you order for the season with them. Talk with your rep, and find out which vendors you may need to do one large order with now.

We are anticipating that you will receive much of what you ordered in a relatively timely manner this year. That's one major stress from 2021 that I know you will be glad to leave behind.
Did You Know That September is Our Busiest Month for
In-Person Appointments?
If you would like to meet with us in September, please schedule your appointment now. We oftentimes get totally booked, and we want to make sure that we can accommodate your needs.
Please also consider making an appointment in August to do your Holiday ordering. We have much greater availability, and you can certainly do future ship orders.
We Are So Excited About These
Two New Lines!
"CandyLab Toys is probably the most modern and chic car toy line on the market. These are being bought by hip young parents that want their children to have a unique experience and toy. They are wood with a metal chassis and come in varying sizes. They not only have vehicles, they also have some pretty unique structures as well. These include  a drive thru- magnetic parking garage so the child can move it and all the cars don’t roll off, lifeguard stations, and donut shops.
Another cool feature is the trucks with surfboards are magnetic so they will stay on the car or you can play with it. If that wasn’t enough their packaging is out of this world different." Rachel Jones, Sales Rep - Sandy Ruben and Associates
Their top sellers include the Donut Van, Ice Cream Van, Taco Truck, Hotdog Van, and Burger Van.

We tried and we love it! This building toy launched in Germany is new to the American market. It uses a variety of small plastic pieces that enable you to build an animal or sea creature. What is really cool is that the pieces bend, stretch and twist. (They have a patent on this). On the Sea Turtle (which is the sample that Kirsten just built for us), the head moves up and down using a lever. Even more fun, is a separate lever that moves both sets of flippers.
That's not all. What I also love is that it's not a "One and done". Each set has instructions on how to make another animal or sea creature. (In this case, the Sea Turtle can change to a Clam).
Each set comes with a booklet with large images for step by step instructions as well as a QR code for video instructions. Information about each animal or sea creature is contained as well.
There are 3 great sets to choose from: https://www.c-bionic.toys/
