So how are you doing?
Take the test by measuring your toy program
against these good and bad practices...
+1 Point : The toys must be engaging for a child.
-1 Point : A pile of dirty uninteresting toys does more to hurt your image than help it. Uninteresting and confusing toys increase discontent, the opposite of your goal.

+1 Point : They must not be disruptive to others.
-1 Point : Noisy toys, toys that are pushed, shoved or thrown raise anxiety
and disrupt the waiting room or sales process.

+1 Point : They must not require the child to engage their parent.
-1 Point : Books that require a parent’s help to read, complex toys with instructions and/or missing pieces all create interruptions when your goal is to disengage the child from the parent.

+1 Point : They must travel.
-1 Point : Fixed toy installations are bad for line-of-sight issues for parents sitting elsewhere in a business. Parents worry about their children being snatched away and they worry about kid’s behavior when not personally supervised.

+1 Point : They must look decent.
-1 Point : Toys and games get used and abused very quickly in business locations.
Broken toys are left in toy bins indefinitely.

+1 Point : They must be safe.
-1 Point : No one ever checks toys for safety issues such as broken edges,
pieces that can be swallowed and product recalls on any sort of scheduled basis.

+1 Point : They must be clean.
-1 Point : Once a toy has been touched by a single child it is no longer disinfected.
With SARS, new potent types of flu and the simple cold all on a parent’s radar screen,
you must have a system in place to disinfect the toys.

+1 Point : They must be exclusive.
-1 Point : Toys are often left behind at businesses. These toys end up in the toy bin. Are they A) safe and engaging? or B) a potential liability? Hint: Always assume B is the correct answer.

+1 Point : You have not been negligent.
-1 Point : Can you provide the written documentation of when you inspected your toys for safety and product recalls? Do you have written documentation on the last time you cleaned and disinfected your toys? Finally, when did you last make sure no garbage or unsafe toys had been deposited in your bin?
