Book Distributor Expands Gift, Toy Selection

GDA Staff -- Gifts and Dec, 3/10/2011 11:10:46 AM

La Vergne, TN - Major book distributor the Ingram Content Group is adding to the number of gifts and games it stocks for the general bookstore market, according to Publishers Weekly, after receiving a good response to a similar initiative aimed at Christian booksellers.

Ingram always carried some gifts by traditional publishers, but is now reaching out to new vendors. Ingram has contacted approximately 75 companies, primarily suggested by booksellers, and opened accounts with 35. The wholesaler is up to 5,400 SKUs and expects to reach 7,000 by June 1.

The greatest interest among general-interest independent bookstores is in plush toys, then activity sets and puzzles.

Kids products that combine high play value and a design sensibility that blends with mom and dad's house are sure winners for specialty shops, who can market themselves as an alternative to cheap plastic imports and their problematic safety records.

EcoGreen

Green products have become more of a staple now. The products are not only good for the environment, today's collections also boast great design.

Just for Fun

Vendors' sense of fun was evident this summer with many offering light-hearted and fun accessories for the home and for the self.
