Hello everyone, I was hesitant to begin this discussion, but felt it should be addressed. LADL is a community of toy lovers from around the world. Please beware of "click bait" articles and YouTube videos that continue to spread misinformation.
The Covid-19 headlines (and misinformation) have created panic at grocery stores and we are now seeing several retail stores affected. American Girl and Disney Store (brick and mortar) closed temporarily, but remain open for e-commerce.
How will this impact the toy community?
Will YOU be buying toys at this time?
Schools have closed for a minimum 2-week period across the globe.
LADL will continue with regular post roll outs, as long as the internet is alive. What would you like to see from LADL? With an international audience in 47 countries, we want to HEAR FROM YOU!
Please leave comments/questions below on your concerns, buying plans, self quarantine, activities, etc.
We will help to provide boredom busting content for at home kiddos and creative people who want fun distraction, albeit a small one, from the non stop pandemic news. It's best to keep kids busy!
I think certain sub communities of the general toy community will be severely affected and others won't. Kids are going to be on all their electronic devices more often, so we could see a boost in those sales. There are other toys though that might suffer because they require interaction with other people, though I don't have any idea of what those could be. For toys I think it's a toss up and as long as retailers still have online availability things should be okay in the future.
ReplyDeleteI am always interested in seeing doll rooms, how they are created, how they are furnished, etc. Thanks for all of the great information your provide.
