Since the start of my career, I've been lucky enough to travel to over 55 countries and work with leading companies in the toy industry. These experiences have enabled me to become a true toy market expert<\/strong>. Today, with Toy Influence<\/strong>I'm putting this international expertise to work for brands that want to set up and expand in Europe.<\/p>\n

Why call on an expert in the European toy market?<\/h2>\n

Europe is one of the most attractive markets for toys, but also one of the most demanding. Each country has its own particular characteristics: the culture, distribution channels and buying patterns differ greatly between France, Germany, Italy and Spain. To succeed, you need to understand these differences. By working with a Europe's toy specialist<\/strong>You save time and avoid costly mistakes.<\/p>\n

As a international toy consultant<\/strong>I help my customers to analyse opportunities, draw up their business plan and choose the right local partners. In this way, you benefit from a tailored and realistic strategy.<\/p>\n

My international experience<\/h2>\n

My career path has enabled me to work for well-known companies. At Smoby\/Berchet<\/strong>I was in charge of worldwide exports outside our Western European subsidiaries. We developed new markets in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North America. In four years, we have achieved +62 % growth in export sales.<\/p>\n

Later, I strengthened the presence of NUK-TIGEX<\/strong> in strategic markets such as Italy and the UK. With BERG Toys<\/strong>I opened a number of accounts in France and Europe, making the brand a key player in the pedal go kart market. Finally, as European Director at smarTrike<\/strong>I managed a local team of ten people and generated sales of \u20ac12m in 2020.<\/p>\n

The specific characteristics of the European toy market<\/h2>\n

The European toy market is worth several tens of billions of euros a year. According to the French Federation of Toy and Childcare Industries<\/a>France is one of the most dynamic countries. However, Germany and the UK also play an important role.<\/p>\n

Purchasing behaviour varies. In Germany, consumers are above all looking for quality and durability. In Spain, the festive and playful aspects are more important. What's more, Italy remains a market sensitive to tradition and design. So an identical strategy for all countries won't work. My role is to help you adapt your approach to suit each market.<\/p>\n
