Are you one of the many South Africans who have been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic? If so, you may have lost your job, and have been struggling to find ways to feed yourself and your family.
Did you know that Soft Toy Box offers South Africans an excellent opportunity to start their own businesses?
Instead of working long hours for an unreasonable boss, you can now invest in yourself instead, become empowered and earn your own cash! Soft Toy Box will show you how!
Soft Toys can be purchased in bulk bags or per kg for resale allowing independents and small business owners to earn some much-needed cash.
Soft Toy Box has a conveniently-situated store in Benoni, which offers plenty of safe parking and is also close to all the major taxi routes.
We also have a friendly sales team on hand to help you with any questions about buying a bale of soft toys and starting your own business in that way.
All you need is a small investment (typically only one to two thousand Rands) and you can buy a bale of soft toys.
These soft toys consist of high quality and gently-used teddy bears and other popular soft toys. Since they are made to last with impeccable stitching and beautiful details, these soft toys make great gifts for newborns or for a child’s birthday.
Soft toys are evergreen and are always much-wanted items for kids, whether they are boys or girls. You can therefore easily sell them as they are always in demand.
Examples of places where you can sell soft toys include:
In your local community
- From your home (invite friends, family, and neighbors to come for tea and view your merchandise)
- Visiting office parks and selling to office workers
- Online (joining a local Facebook is very useful as you can advertise for free and get easy sales)
- Anywhere else you think your products will go down well!
Be your own boss and buy how much you need, when you need it and your soft toy bulk purchase can even be delivered to your doorstep, for a standard delivery fee or you are welcome to collect.
At Soft Toy Box, we don’t have any hard or fast rules when it comes to buying and selling bales of soft toys.
You can buy as much or as little as you want. If you’re just starting out, you might not have a lot of money and you probably also want to gain confidence by selling just a small quantity of soft toys.
In such cases, you could buy a low-weight bale and see how you go. However, in our experience, people often do well (even in the beginning), and they are soon back in store to buy more soft toys!
Promotions like Valentine’s Day can give you that extra boost in your soft toy sales.
Although the children’s market is the main target audience for soft toys, don’t overlook other opportunities for sales!
Valentine’s Day, for instance, is incredibly lucrative for soft toy sales when couples like to spoil each other with a cute soft toy to express their love for each other.
Offering Valentine’s Day specials for soft toys can help you to boost your sales wonderfully and can help you to have an amazing month.
There are many different options to choose from and the opportunities are endless for gifting ideas from teddies to bunnies to hearts with messages of love.
Apart from Valentine’s Day, there will always be young couples who are in love in your community. From celebrating a 6-month anniversary, the birth of a child, or an engagement, a soft toy is always a much-appreciated gift.
