Objectives

Quantify what toys and entertainment products girls want and are asking for this holiday season.
Measure the passion with which kids are asking for each item, from the perspective of their parent gatekeepers.
Track kids’ awareness of and purchase interest in key toy and youth entertainment products.
Provide season-long tracking of the most wanted kid-targeted licensed properties (regardless of whether products based on those properties currently exist).
Track shifts in the above measures from pre-Fall through the Christmas Holiday and continuing through the Spring and Summer.

Why?

Each year as fall approaches, toy and game companies make bets as to what will top kids’ wishlists, often with only intuition and retailer reaction to guide them. The Kringle Report offers an insider’s look at kids’ holiday wishlists, starting in September, and tracking them all the way up to and beyond the big day.

Here are 7 reasons why you need The Kringle Report (available in boys and girls editions):

• Spot the next big trend as early as possible, so you can act on it

• Adjust media spend based on what's really hot with kids

• Minimize excessive markdowns by moving quickly in Q4

• Create ad claims for items that rank high on kids' wish lists

• Gauge the future of key licensed properties

• Monitor demand for competitive products before those sales even occur

• Rest assured with additional intelligence, having no fear of missing out!

This game-changing study will also capture and track awareness and purchase intent of top-promoted items. Providing insight far beyond what currently exists and into what kids dream about, The Kringle Report will also reveal what licenses kids want in products (regardless of whether those products actually exist).

Be one of the first three co-funders and we'll include aided awareness and purchase interest in any four products of your choosing.
