Ooohs and Aahs In Baby Comfort And Trendy Items

Leigh Morrisett — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:30:36 +0000

New parents are always looking for trendy baby items that provide comfort while making their life easier. While most trendy items for babies are organic made or natural products, they are also adorable, tailored to safety and handy.

Baby Products

Parents aren’t the only ones buying for baby; family and friends buy baby items as well. This makes the baby product market huge with millions of dollars spent on babies each year.

Even in these tough economic times, retailers know finding the right wholesale baby gift items are a way to capitalize on consumers in a stable market.

So how do retailers decide what baby products are right for their target market? Think like a parent, grandparent or gift giver.

Choose Baby Comfort

Babies need and desire comfort, at least that’s what people buying baby items believe. Baby comfort items include: bedding, bath towels, hoodies, clothing and organic skin care products such as lotion and soaps.

Wool Car Seat Covers

All of these products make for a wide selection of baby items that you can tailor to your clientele. We’ll discuss the cross-over trendy aspects of these later.

Choosing essential comfort products such as crib items or baby clothing will ensure your baby items sales stay on target. Don’t forget to include the basic comfort items that make parents feel safe. Protecting their child is their number one goal.

Products that range from organic baby blankets to crib safety bumpers or even chair covers for shopping carts to stroller covers that keep baby warm are basic must have items.

Why? Because comfort and safety are not only for baby but for parents as well. Think of the parents’ perception of safety and comfort and you’ll find sales ring up quickly.

Baby Is Trendy

Trendy items are not just cute little gimmicky items that provide “oohs” and “ahhhs”, they can also provide comfort and safety.

Trendy Baby Totes

When deciding on which trendy items to stock, look for things that are trends today; but that can also become staples for parents in the future. Appeal to their need for fashion, causes, convenience, or style.

Just because an item is labeled eco-friendly doesn’t make it trendy. However because of the movement towards being “green” and environmentally conscious, several eco-friendly baby items are becoming trendy. One of the rising eco-friendly baby trends involves organic clothing and lotions.

The trendy baby is concerned with giving baby a good footing in life – literally. Specialty shoes that help your baby learn to walk correctly or educational toys are making trend setting strides in the baby products market.

Impulsive Baby

In your product mix, you’ll want to include a few items that called “disposable” or “impulse buys”.

Baby Hats

These items are relatively inexpensive. So darn adorable, people buy them just because of their cuteness factor.

Hair bows, baby shoes that look like little loafers or cowboy boots, hats, tee-shirts with cute saying are not “need items” but “want items”.

Seriously, customers can not just walk by or pass up items that scream “This is so cute!! Buy me!”

Carrying these types of impulse baby items gives you the opportunity to up-sell and appeal to the hidden wants of your customers.

The baby product market is huge. As a retailer, you need to tailor your products to fit your specific customer base. Watch the trends. Look for items that please parents on a comfort and safety level. Introduce items with a “ohhh that is so cute and adorable” or “that is such a cool idea, I just have to buy that item”. Follow these suggestions and these products will deliver the sales.

As always, FGmarket has the wholesale baby product vendors that can supply you with the best items for babies. To jump start your baby product search check out the FGmarket wholesale baby vendors highlighted below.

Go Green With Recycled Packaging from Nashville Wraps

There is a definite trend taking shape among customers looking to improve the quality of the planet and of their lives. This is the perfect opportunity to tap into the increased flow of traffic to stores with eco-friendly products.

Environmentally friendly products are taking the stage in many areas. A wide variety of products are going green such as eco friendly garden and patio decor, eco friendly novelties, recycled cards and stationery, and even eco friendly baby products.

Regardless of your product offerings, there is an eco-friendly product option for your store. Even the simple addition of a few of these go-green products is enough to draw passionate customers to your store. This particular segment of customer, the go green activist, has a deep appreciation of nature, conservation, and preservation. The environmentally friendly enthusiast is excited about the cause of protecting the planet. Because of these strong feelings, these customers are drawn to particular stores, places, and products that share this mixed sense of pride and duty.

Get A Smart Start With Eco-Friendly SmartPlanterZ

So here’s how this all comes together. The customer who chooses to go green is an informed buyer. Customers seeking environmentally friendly products are initiators; always seeking new and quality products apropos to the cause.

Environmentally conscious buyers are also very loyal and willing to sacrifice some of the things (price, quantity) that most other shoppers gravitate toward in order to have the products that in no way compromise their cause. Such advanced and loyal shoppers are a great asset to any customer base because these are the return visitors willing to do what it takes to acquire worthwhile products.

Another great quality of environmentally conscious consumers is that these buyers are also socially conscious. A company with a clear, conscious social direction and commitment to helping others is a company behind which eco-friendly buyers can rally. Knowing that the money is being spent in a store with similar ideals is very important.

One such business with an environmentally and socially conscious mark is Landscapes Within, a manufacturer of fine art photographs, posters, and floral greeting cards. Landscapes Within not only prints their cards on glossy high quality recycled paper but also donates a portion of the proceeds from each card to Alzheimer’s disease research.

Display Your Support With Eco-Friendly Greeting Cards

Even for the practical buyer gone green, knowing that a company is this heavily involved in furthering two quality causes is enough to sway the shopper to promote the company financially and/or via word of mouth blurbs.

Don’t forget the blogging generation. The environmentally conscious buyer is a savvy shopper, as much of an Internet guru as the rest of Generations Y and Z, and knows the force behind a powerful blog.

Don’t miss the opportunity to welcome these great people to your store! Even an eco friendly alternative to your store’s most popular products is enough to show that these customers are important to your store. Switching to recycled shopping bags is also a great start. Whatever your choice, give these gifted shoppers a place and watch your impact grow.
