With the improvement of people's living standards, the update and iteration of more and more essential items in life has accelerated, and gradually expanded to the spiritual level. Take plush toys as an example. I believe that many people are indispensable in their homes. At the same time, it is also one of the important playmates for children in their childhood, so it can be said to be a necessity in life.
However, there are few shops on the street that specialize in selling plush toys, which are usually piled up in a corner of a gift shop or a stall in a children's playground. Such an environment is difficult to impress plush toys, let alone many stores only use plush toys as decorations, making people feel that they are just an auxiliary product in the store, without their own characteristics, let alone creativity. Naturally, such plush toys will not have too high value.
So, how can we make plush toys play their greatest value and give people a new understanding of it?
1. Culture becomes the foundation of the plush toy industry
As we mentioned above, plush toys are very important to children, but adults do not have that strong dependence. This is probably because children are more likely to place their emotions on plush toys, especially introverted children, who are more likely to regard plush toys as their friends, plush toys will also bring them the greatest sense of security. Adults won’t be like this. Their thoughts are more mature, and under normal circumstances, they rarely place complex emotions on stuffed toys that don’t move.
If you want plush dolls to achieve the greatest value, you must mobilize the feelings of adults, which means you have to talk about corporate mascots! Nowadays, in order to promote business, many businesses have launched their own corporate mascots, which are actually the cartoon images of their own companies. Giving corporate culture to physical dolls is a favorite result of many companies. Plush toys in the form of mascots not only spread corporate culture, but also maximize their own value (after all, corporate culture is priceless). The most important thing is to win over the feelings of adults and give people a more specific understanding of the corporate culture image.
2. Animation-themed plush toys are a pattern of industry development
For plush toy manufacturers, mascot customization is aimed at enterprises, and when targeting specific consumers, it is time for animation-themed plush toys to be launched!
No matter what industry it is, once it is made into a theme, it will give people a sense of professionalism, and the same is true for plush toys. If you want your products to be popular with consumers, you can also take the theme form. For example, relying on anime IP is a very good example. Especially the constantly serialized animation works will continue to inject new vitality into plush toys. On the other hand, plush toys are also an important medium for anime works to contact fans. Therefore, a win-win ending between a good anime-themed plush toy and anime works.
For the plush toy industry, with the help of animation themes, on the one hand, it can increase people's attention to plush products, and on the other hand, it can also improve the level of plush products in people's minds. The animation works give plush toys a deep connotation and emotion. After watching the cartoon, children will definitely like it when they encounter plush toys based on the characters in it. A large number of adults who love cute culture will also pay for it. It also has the same effect as the corporate mascot mentioned above.
Whether it is a mascot or an anime-themed plush toy, if you want to become a "star" in the highly competitive plush toy market, you must firmly grasp everyone's emotional needs, so that you will be different from other soft toys on the market and prevent the sameness and dust accumulation in the corner.
