Fussy Plush

by Chief Marketer Staff
We were impressed with the quality and the lifelike appearance of the plush animals from Douglas Cuddle Toys, so we rang up HQ in Keene, NH, to find out what the up-charge was on these babies. But company president Scott Clarke protested that Douglas actually came in cheaper than many market leaders. “We just quoted a price for 80,000 beanbag animals of $1.50,” he claimed. Douglas specializes in realistic-looking faces, but it will give you cartoonish if that’s what you want. All Douglas designs are performed by its in-house staff and, says Clarke, “We’ll take the client down to the studio and make the faces cuter, if that’s what they want.” For more details, call premium sales manager Ericka Radich at 800-992-9002.
