Why More Parents Are Looking for Sustainable Wooden Toys

Every parent wants the best for their kids, which is why a lot of them are moving towards sustainable wooden toys. The mass transition to plastic-free toys is fueled by several reasons, major six of which we’ve listed below:

1.  Wooden Toys Are Timeless

The beauty of wooden toys lies in their simplicity. Unlike modern toys, they are not silly short-lived plastic fads which we throw out and replace every few months. Wooden ones never get boring with time and are enjoyed by several family generations.

2.  Wooden Toys Give High Value for Money

Wooden toys offer excellent value for money to parents. Not only are they reasonably priced, but due to their durability, they also last longer. Plastic toys tend to be a quick cash grab for companies, which is why they receive a lot of commercial hype. Wooden toys, though, are carefully designed, keeping the end-user, i.e. the child, in mind.

3.  Plastic Toys Are Harmful

Many low-quality plastic toys use chemicals that can be harmful to the skin (e.g., due to toxic paint) and body (if ingested due to chewing). Second-hand old plastic toys are said to be even worse. Wood, on the other hand, is safer to use not only for the child but also for the environment.

4.  Wooden Toys Are Durable

Plastics toys are quite brittle and usually have an electronic element in them (e.g., music). This is why they can’t endure all the bashing, thrashing and, getting thrown around. As a result, they malfunction, or the pieces break, making the plastic toy obsolete. Wooden toys, on the other hand, are durable and can bear rough treatment.

5.  Wooden Toys Stimulate the Imagination

Modern toys are often criticized to ‘do everything’ for children. Their interactive and electronic capabilities tend to limit the imagination of a child. On the other, wooden toys allow for world-building and role-playing by creating their own imagery, voices, and sound effects. 

6.  Flashy Toys Can Impair Cognitive Development

Modern toys equipped with flashing lights, music, etc. may seem very appealing, but in reality, they are not suited for a child’s cognitive development. They don’t contribute much in terms of ‘creative play’ and over-stimulation due to the electronic parts have a negative neural impact decreasing a brain’s ability to do critical thinking.

E-Commerce Personalization: Why Customer Conversations are the Key to Success

Image
If you ask anyone with serious experience in the e-commerce space, they will tell you that it all comes down to the numbers. Numbers are what we rely on to gain insights into nearly every single aspect of our respective industries—from measuring the click-through success of marketing campaigns to assessing the conversion rates of strategically placed “Buy Now” buttons. However, as we let software control more and more of quantitative analytics, the human element seems to be losing its influence. Relying on quantitative insights offers businesses a myriad of valuable instructive and actionable data , but the drawback is that it often reduces customers to numbers. You get to understand what  people are doing, but not why they’re doing those things. Understanding the why  comes with actually engaging with customers—in other words, having conversations with them. We’ve dedicated this piece to exploring how customer conversations are the key to e-commerce personalization. Let’s div...

Amazon's net worth in 2020 is estimated to be around $1200 billion , and it's growing every day! For a company that Jeff Bezos started in his garage, it’s grown to be one of the most powerful corporations.
