The Business of Back-To-School
Eldon was the dominate market leader in the school supply box market,
offering the widest selection and highest quality of products. Within
the BTS segment, Eldon maintained a very tight focus with plastic supply
boxes and clipboards... no corrugate boxes, no lunch boxes, no folders.
Eldon also served as an industry leader in the BTS category with market
leading research, every year introducing the hottest colors and maintaining
top licensed properties as chosen by the kids who used the products.
This research not only kept the existing lines fresh, but helped Eldon
to launch new cutting edge products, year after year and maintain a considerably
dominant market share.
Being seasonal in nature and with Eldon's immense product assortment,
the program created incredible challenges to keep on top of trends, launch
new products, and to refresh the entire product line nearly every year,
including Warner Bros. & Nintendo® licensed products.
Perhaps the
most intriguing, fun shaped BTS product around, the Crayon Saver™ not
only reached out to a younger consumer, but created a new product segment.
