Lifestyle Products

Unique opportunity to tap into new distribution channels in the toy industry.

Fashion and accessories for children are an integral part in the toy retail and toy shops. As with many consumer goods, individual lifestyles and current trends are a decisive factor which toy customers purchase. With Lifestlye Products at the Spielwarenmesse you have the opportunity to discover new contacts and markets for a promising product group.

The product group at a glance

  • Attractive add-on range for visitors to the Spielwarenmesse
  • Prominent placement at the exhibition site
  • A segment with a promising future: trend towards design in children’s bedrooms
  • 86 exhibitors from 22 countries on an exhibition area of 5,500 m²

Smaller retailers in particular are going to find lifestyle an ever more important way of differentiating themeselves. It‘s really important to my business success that I attend the Spielwarenmesse to reposition myself and get new ideas for the future. Nowhere else will you find so many ways to discover new things in one place.

Marion Korte, Owner, Mama & Co. Dress in Style, visitor from Germany

It certainly has been a very well organised fair. It makes it unique because the world of toys is well established. It has a strong global market and we just think the lifestyle element will compliment the focus on toys and it brings an audience to Santoro that we have not really tapped into before. Buyers are certainly very diverse and different. There is a good cross section between the retailer, distributor, potential licensees, manufacturers, it’s very good.

TARGET GROUP

Lifestyle products serve as an outward expression of our attitude to life. Current trends are often seized upon for this. That is why licensing themes are very important for the toy trade. Films, TV series and even video games, such as Star Wars, Paw Patrol and Fortnite, provide inspiration for original toys and everyday products such as decorations, collectibles and accessories. As the market for lifestyle products is always in flux given the topical nature of these items, they are especially appealing to retailers for short-term promotions. Many toy retailers have already recognised this and are supplementing their product portfolio with strong sellers in the area of lifestyle products.
