As the "Toy Factory of the World", China has an unrivaled supply chain advantage. However, when you consider entering the cross-border e-commerce market for toys, you are faced with not only opportunities, but also challenges and competition.
Is cross-border e-commerce for toys really a good idea? The answer depends on your level of preparation!
The e-commerce market for toys in Europe and the United States continues to grow, but the compliance requirements for toy products are becoming increasingly stringent. Here are the key points you need to know to stand out from the crowd in this highly competitive arena:
Three Core Strategies for Successful Toy Cross-Border E-Commerce Businesses
1. Product quality and safety is the lifeline
Safety is always the number one consideration when parents are shopping for toys for their children. You have to make sure:
- Use of non-toxic and non-hazardous materials, through various safety certificates.
- Eliminate sharp edges and small parts that could cause choking.
- Statistics show that the buyback rate of high quality toys is 35% higher than that of ordinary toys!
2. Strict compliance with target market compliance requirements
For example, on Amazon US, all children's toys must comply:
- ASTM F963-17 Standard Certification
- Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (Lead, Phthalates)
- Section 14(a)(5) of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Act (Tracking Label)
- Sellers who violate compliance requirements 90% are at risk of being taken off the market!
3. Brand building and precise marketing are the keys to success.
Consumers trust well-known brands much more than unbranded products. You need to:
- Build professional brand image and enhance consumer confidence
- Formulate differentiated marketing strategies according to the consumption habits of different regions.
- Strong branded toys have an average conversion rate of 25% higher than unbranded toys, are you ready?
