Program Summary
15,000 specialty toy, game, hobby, gift, and museum stores have become members of Toy
Directory in the past 22 months. Every month another 250 to 450 new retailers
sign-up with Toy Directory.
Every 30-60 days, we select the top 1,000 retailers from our list of members. We then mail
them packages containing wholesale flyers and brochures from toy and hobby manufacturers
and distributors. These packages are mailed to pre-screened and pre-qualified decision
makers.
Benefits for retailers and
manufacturers:
- Retailers will receive wholesale flyers in
their office with new product information. This will enable them to source new toy and
hobby products for their stores on a regular basis.
- Manufacturers and distributors increase
exposure for their new products inexpensively and gain new clients while saving on their
mailing and handling costs.
- Manufacturers reach the right people who make
buying decisions about new products.
- Ideal for manufacturers with a low marketing
budget.
- Manufacturers will receive the contact name,
company name, and address of all the participating retailers who receive our mailers.
(Phone numbers are also available. Extra charges apply.)
Who is ToyDirectory?

Who are the retailers?
All the retailers for these mailers have come to us and have requested

their contact information and will not consider any mailing we do as "junk
mail". They are expecting the information they requested, and plan to purchase from
the companies we introduce to them.
