Christmas in Jamaica means toy madness. Parents crowd into Toys R Us and department stores, fighting over the latest must-have toys. Prices are marked up 100-200% over US retail, and popular items sell out fast.
An online toy store with year-round inventory, reasonable prices, and pre-order options for Christmas can capture parents who want to avoid the December chaos. Add educational toys and you've got school and parent buyers year-round.
