ToyTopic md, Ashley Holman talks new summer launches and hopes that the good weather will continue.
As we enter into summer, LicensingSource.net asks a selection of licensees what their trading expectations are for the season, how sell-through is going in their sector, if stock levels are beginning to open up and what situation they would like to be in entering Q3.
Today: Ashley Holman, md, ToyTopic.
“We have a number of specific summer orientated ranges launching imminently at retail including the Hasbro Splash Games range of outdoor and water based toys, so we are hoping for some good weather and favourable retail sales for sure.
Stock is still an issue all around for both licensees and retailers with some heavily discounted offers out there, so we’d ideally see these trade through in time for the all important Christmas season, but only time will tell.”
