One of the most famous toy makers in the world, Hasbro has decided to open its doors to the public. Yes, Hasbro's online website www.HasbroToyShop.com will start selling toys and games to consumers directly sometime in early May.
This shrewd move by Hasbro has come at a time where toy sales worldwide are lagging. Toys 'R Us was recently sold a little while back, and generally the toy sales are weak everywhere. Hasbro's decision to start direct online retail has obviously upset toy retailers, who feel that their businesses will get affected by this move. According to Hasbro, online retail is the way to go, and you have to take your future in your own hands.
For starters, Hasbro is going to offer brands like Star Wars, Monopoly, My Little Pony, Weebles, Trivial Pursuit, VideoNow and Playskool on their website.
Hasbro has little experience with online sales, and have outsourced their online shopping to a third party company. They have plans to woo the users with little things like sending them emails on their birthday, maybe with a birthday gift shopping list attached. Most consumers don't hesitate to buy toys and games online, as compared to other commodities.
Well, here's looking forward to the launch of Hasbro's new online Toy Store, www.HasbroToyShop.com
