PRINCE GEORGE – The success of numerous small businesses throughout the year often hinges on the holiday season’s impact on overall profitability. Toy stores are among the small companies planning to meet customers’ expectations months in advance.

Cameron Stolz, owner of Great White Toys, and Nancy Condon, owner of Gingerbread Toys, are busy filling their shelves with stock they ordered several months ago. They hoped their customers would buy them as gifts for the holiday season.

“ Some has been ordered as far back as February. And now we’re trying to see if we guessed right on whether that’s where the customers are interested. “

Social media holds substantial sway over the purchasing preferences of certain customers for Stolz.

Nancy discovered that sending customers a toy catalogue assists them in making decisions ahead of the busy period.

“ It’s our little mini wish book, and it comes out in November and it goes out to our mailing lists. So people get to use the coupon that’s on it. “
