So hei Ho Toys o Bes Toys liss ae going o eflec ha goal. The oys will be chosen fo he soy wih an eye owad wha he eadeship wans o see and ha s no necessaily he full univese of available oys.

Toy eaile daa, especially daa based on eal eail sales and ha appea in he hea of he shopping season say, Novembe o Decembe ae going o offe you acual insigh ino wha is mos popula his yea. Reailes have specific demogaphics. A specialy oy soe may issue a lis ha encompasses he highend oys ha i socks. A discoun chain will feaue a compleely diffeen se of mass-make oys. Neihe embaces he full univese fom which a shoppe can choose. Sop he Sickes! See hose awad sickes plaseed all ove he oys in you local soe? Ignoe hem. One of he bigges gowh segmens of he oy indusy in ecen yeas has been oy awads. Alhough a few oy awads seem pesigious and wohwhile, mos ae simply anohe aemp a makeing, and hee s lile bu business inees behind hem. Wha does he sicke eally ell you? No much. No eny ules. No judging cieia. No infomaion on whehe o no he manufacue has paid o eceive
9 Becoming You Own Expe 13 Some awads have enough hisoy (ove en yeas) o be legiimae helpmaes in he seach fo gea playhings. If you ae able o easily uncove he awad cieia and he awad isn paid fo o biased, you have a nugge of value. consideaion o placemen by he sicke give. The oy awad business is unegulaed, so oy awad gives can devise any sysem hey like. As a consume, you have lile idea wha s behind ha sicke. And if you did know, you d be shocked. Pleny of awad pogams ae cash deals. Many equie submission fees, which biases he esuls igh hen and hee. Toy makes pay fo consideaion. Wha you envision as a deailed judging pocess may acually be lile moe han a business ansacion. Jus because someone else judged i a gea oy doesn mean you ll agee. Don assume ha a oy judge even a qualified one knows bes. You e he bes judge fo you child. Toy makes leveage hese awad sickes fo good shelf placemen. I s all pa of he eail pocess. You see he sickes because hey ae pa of he makeing pogam. Conside hem iny sicky commecials. When he News Isn News Evey yea, he media manage o come up wih soies abou holiday oys. Ofen, he soy cenes aound a ho o mus-have oy. Kids ae ineviewed asking fo he oy.
10 14 Toy Tips When waching he news, pay moe aenion o soies wih saisics o cedenials o back up asseions. These will give you a good idea of wha s eally going on wih hei eviews and oy ess. Paens ae ineviewed in hei haied seach fo he oy. Reailes give quoes abou how his oy is ho, ho, ho. Annual coincidence? Nah. These soies ae peennials. Is i eally news? No. I s jus he yanny of he calenda. The holiday season goes ino full swing, and media oules, fom naional elevision o local newspapes, dig aound fo a good holiday oy soy. Does i love he camea? A ealiy of he news business is ha i ofen evolves aound wha looks good on he page o sceen. Toys ha phoogaph well ae likely o un up in hese soies. Is i damaic? News oules like dama. And if hee isn much, hey ll add some. A oy may no eally be in sho supply naionwide, bu ha won sop a local news cew fom ineviewing a fanic mohe unable o find he oy. Indusy Gossip Unwilling o si on he sidelines duing he cucial oyselling season, oy indusy associaions have jumped ino he media mix, seing up hei own pess confe-
11 Becoming You Own Expe 15 Indusy associaion evens ae essenially ade shows. As such, hey ae good fo a boad look a he newes waes of he indusy. ences, awads sysems, and liss o geneae sales fo hei membeship. Ofen, indusy associaion evens ae billed as an inside scoop. In fac hey ae simply he consolidaed message of is membes. Look a hem as commecials fom oy companies. Associaions wok fo hei membes, no fo consumes. You e unlikely o ge any negaive spin fom an indusy even. Associaions ae fo membes only. Don bohe ying o find infomaion abou a oy made by a small company ha s no a membe of he lage associaion. Conclusion I s had o say no o so many offes of advice. Bu keep in mind ha liss and awads and expes can offe only guides and suggesions. Ulimaely, you ll need o be he one educaed and savvy enough o make oy choices fo you child. Resis he uge o follow shocus when i comes o finding he bes oys. You bes oue o oy happiness is no via a guu o op en lis. I s hough you own knowledge of you child and of wha he oy indusy has o offe.
12 16 Toy Tips WORKSHEET Toy Tes Red Flags Tying o deemine if he es o lis you e peusing is valid? Ask hese key quesions: Do companies pay an enance fee o have hei oys consideed? Tha s aleady a conflic. The es is elying on is paicipans fo funds. How many oys wee esed? Of hose, how many wee ecommended? If eveyone in he es ges ecommended, ha s a ed flag. If hee s an expe panel of judges, wha ae hei cedenials? Look fo people whose expeise you would us. Individual opinions fom paens and eaches aen eseach. Ae he judges paid fo hei paicipaion? Tha s no necessaily a bad hing, bu you should know who is wiing he check. Was he es conduced by an educaion o eseach pofessional? Tess un by jounaliss and publiciy coodinaos may be inaccuae. How lage was he sample of childen in he es? A small goup will yield less eliable esuls. Was he sample of childen demogaphically divese? Race and gende ae no he only facos. Look also fo economic and geogaphic divesiy in a esing sample.
13 Becoming You Own Expe 17 g Tales fom he Toy Tips Lab Do you like his oy? Ask a small child wih a oy in his hand, and chances ae excellen ha he will say yes. Why? Because he wans o keep playing. Tha s he naual eacion of a child and a vey good example of why child-ceneed oy ess ae ofen fa off base. Evey yea I wach wih dismay as elevision saions and magazines se up oy ess. They ound up a bunch of childen, hand ou he oys, and ask hem Do you like hese oys? Sue hey do! They all say yes. Bu he es is meaningless. The TV saions have done nohing moe han pove ha kids a play wan o keep playing and no give he oys back. Ove he yeas, I ve woked o develop eseach mehods ha uncove he value of oys and he eacions childen have o specific oys. Bu I ve leaned ha asking a child o expess like o dislike fo a oy isn a useful eseach mehodology. A oy in he hand is a good hing. Kids will nod poliely a he quesioning adul and hen go igh back o playing.
