Big Potato Big Potato is an indie board game company from Shoreditch, London. We began life as a wee potato back in 2012, with the launch of our very first game, a simple little quiz called Linkee. Six years on and we’ve grown to 17 people and 19 games — kids, family and grown-up ones. All our games are made to three rules: they have to be easy to learn, quick to play and hard to put down. We even make the odd app and TV show just to mix things up.

We use every customer contact available - telephony, letters, emails and texts. We will even visit your customer if required to do so. As a last resort we will support a Legal Process and subsequent enforcement.

The results? We improve your debt recovery rates, free up your internal resources and improve cash flow and profitability.

RETAIL ADVICE

3 ways I make sure retailers and suppliers are fit for the future

I have worked in the retail industry for 35 years with retailers which include Habitat, Next, WH Smith and the National Trust specifically in new product development and buying roles. For the last 14 years I have worked as an Independent Retail Advisor in the cards, gifts, stationery and heritage industries, working with many small and medium-sized businesses, including multi-site retailers, national and international manufacturers and suppliers. Economic uncertainty is impacting consumer spending but people will always want relevant, quality products that represent good value for money. I help by making sure retailers and suppliers are ‘fit for the future’ ensuring they have three key things: great product, great service and a realistic plan that gets them results. If you’re looking to get ‘fit for the future’ and ensure you have the best products and level of service ready to go, please get in touch to discuss how I can use my expertise and knowledge to help your products and business do even better. I look forward to hearing from you.

O’Donnell Moonshine Almost a hundred years ago in the United States the 18th amendment was passed banning the production, sale and distribution of alcohol. The clandestine era of distilling by moonlight had begun. Farmers quickly began to produce Moonshine in their back yards to meet the demand of the smugglers and bootleggers who took great risk in moving the moonshine by night. They bottled in Mason jars so at not to raise suspicion from the authorities who were quickly hot on their trail. O’Donnell Moonshine aims to bring the spirit and taste of those times back to the 21st century. O’Donnell Moonshine is made using traditional methods, the best available ingredients and bottled in those same traditional American “Mason Jars”. O’Donnell Moonshine is proud to offer our High proof spirit alongside 3 liquors to date “Roasted Apple” (20% ABV) with a touch of cinnamon and vanilla, “Bitter Rose” (25% ABV) made with Grapefruit and our “Tough Nut” (25% ABV) made from Hazelnut, Caramel and a hint of whiskey.

Selfie Clothing Company A brand started by a mum of two boys, Gemma Treby, who set out to design a creative and high quality gift that enhances children’s pride and sense of achievement in their creativity. Gemma explains, “I love to see how proud my children are when they create their own mini masterpieces. I set out to find a mess-free activity that would enhance their glowing moment. What could be better than enabling them to create their own top that they get to wear?” Since the launch of Selfie Clothing colour-in tops, the brand has continued to innovate, and the range now includes pyjamas, capes, baseball hats and a seasonal range. Each beautifully packaged item comes as a kit with a set of permanent fabric pens. “The permanent fabric pens allow children to use their own imaginations to create their very own, bespoke garments. Including permanent fabric pens in the kit is very important to us, as we understand how much attention children pour into their creations. We see it imperative to their self-esteem that the inks cannot be washed out,” says Gemma. With designs that include unicorns, superheroes and dinosaurs to name but a few, Selfie Clothing also accepts bespoke commissions which are perfect for museums, National Trust properties and other family entertainment destinations.

LEISURE MEASURE 2018 FAVORITE SNACKS Who chooses what snacks you eat?

Kids control snacking Halloween is a highly competitive time for chocolate and candy brands – with Halloween spending expected to reach $9bn this year (with $2.6billion of that on candy), according to the National Retail Federation.

IN FOCUS Last Halloween, M&Ms ran an interactive ‘chooseyour-own’ story marketing campaign, where social media users could vote on how the story turned out.

Reese’s – the classic Halloween treat - are currently the 6th favorite snack of teenagers. According to a brand tracker study by YouGov, brand ad awareness for Reese’s is up by almost a third compared to the same period last year following a successful campaign, which included Halloween related TV ads and landing pages featuring videos and recipes. Parents exert a lot more control over the snacking choices of younger children. By the time children reach age 10, parents have lost half of their control over these choices. However, even at the youngest ages, children control 1 in 5 snack food choices.

Favorite snacks

With no ice cream brands in the top 10 lists, it will be interesting to see the impact of brands such as HaagenDazs re-branding, to become more ‘Instagrammable’. Halo Top ice cream have recently disrupted the market, with its high-protein, low calorie alternative.

Parents Insights examines the family ecosystem from expecting mothers through to parents of 4 year olds. Every single week we survey 200 different parents, which is more than 10,000 every year.

Every year we produce a Future Forecast report detailing the trends our clients can expect to see in the coming year. To get a copy FREE visit www.kidsinsights.co.uk/ FutureForecast
