Supermarket, Distributor & Brand Toy Solutions
Build a coordinated toy range around your market, channel and customers. LINK BRAND supports product selection, packaging and display planning, with order and repeat-supply requirements reviewed around your retail, distribution or private-label program.

Different Buyers, Different Toy Programs
A retail buyer, a distributor and a brand owner may select similar products, but their purchasing decisions differ. We organize the project around your channel and commercial requirements.
01
Supermarkets & Retail Chains
Plan a toy selection around shelf or counter space, intended shoppers, target retail price points and promotion schedules.
Focus: assortment structure, retail presentation and store rollout.
02
Distributors & Importers
Review product categories, price ranges, order quantities and packing around the retailers or business customers you supply.
Focus: customer coverage, purchasing conditions and repeat supply.
03
Brands & Private-Label Buyers
Develop suitable existing products or new product directions around your brand identity, packaging and target market.
Focus: differentiation, customization scope and sample approval.
Multi-market requirements are reviewed within each project, according to the selected products and destinations.

Review how the selected products will be displayed, including available space, unit presentation and any proposed display-box or PDQ format.

Confirm packing quantities, carton arrangements and the product documentation required for the selected destination and project.
Packaging development, display structures and additional testing are scoped and quoted where applicable. Their availability is confirmed for the selected products.
Plan the Initial Range and the Next Order
An initial order can help establish a clearer basis for future selection, provided the quantities and conditions are workable for the chosen products. Review the next steps using actual sales and inventory feedback.
01
Define the Initial Scope
Confirm the selected SKUs, quantities, store coverage and launch requirements. Minimum quantities and customization conditions are reviewed before the order is agreed.
02
Review Channel Feedback
Share product-level sales, inventory or retailer feedback where available. Use it to identify items to retain, review or replace.
03
Confirm the Follow-Up Selection
Review repeat-order availability, quantities and proposed alternatives before confirming the next assortment.
Initial test quantities are subject to SKU and packaging requirements. Sell-through and commercial results depend on the market, pricing, presentation and channel execution.
