  • Beanie Babies + Myspace = Webkinz
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by eScholarShare at Drake University Creating Consumer Value through Physical and Digital Product Bundles: One Firm‟s Approach Michael Dinger Henderson State University Richard Klein Clemson University Jason Bennett Thatcher Clemson University ABSTRACT In recent years, firms have bundled digital products and physical products to create value and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. In this commentary, we discuss one such approach to value creation. We present the case of Ganz, who developed and marketed the Webkinz brand of plush toy collectibles. These Webkinz toys create unique value through bundling a physical collectible toy with digital services accessed through the Internet. In this article, we analyze the elements of the Ganz business model that contribute to creating consumer value. We conclude with implications for managers and suggestions for future research. Subject Areas: Electronic Commerce; Marketing Article Type: Peer-Reviewed Journal Article INTRODUCTION Picture a business model that integrates the Beanie Baby craze of the 1990s with the power of Facebook‟s online social network. Not only would kids want the collectible toy, but an entire online software backend awaits young users, offering games, educational activities, and social opportunities. As a desirable collectible enabling a product-specific “marketspace” experience (Kim & Mauborgne, 1999), Webkinz represents this unique bundle of offline and online value. The plush toy is paired with a yearlong subscription to games and interactive play in a strictly regulated community inhabited by children. Ganz, the manufacturer of Webkinz, has developed a unique business model that bundles online and offline products to generate stakeholder value.

  • Steiff Teddy Bear Catalog #: 1978.67.8 Donor: Marcia Newitt Estate
    Donation of the Month Object: Steiff Teddy Bear Catalog #: 1978.67.8 Donor: Marcia Newitt Estate Arctophily — the love of teddy bears — began in November 1902 when President Theodore Roosevelt traveled to Mississippi to help settle a border dispute with Louisiana. While there his hosts took him bear hunting. After three days of roughing it with no game in sight, the guides used dogs to track and injure an old she-bear. Tying the ailing animal to a tree, they summoned the president. But Roosevelt decided that it would be unsportsmanlike to kill the captive bear; instead he ordered it be put down to end its suffering. And that was how the legend of Teddy’s bear was born. When Washington Post political cartoonist Clifford Berryman heard the story, he sketched a cartoon titled “Drawing the Line in Mississippi,” a phrase which played up both the border dispute as well as Roosevelt’s refusal to shoot a captive bear. In the cartoon a man holds a rope tied around the throat of an adult bear while TR stands with his rifle, his back turned against the sad scene and his hand held out as if to stop what was happening. Berryman’s cartoon immediately captured the public’s attention. In an effort to capitalize on its popularity and further its already-powerful message, his subsequent renderings depicted a cute bear cub rather than an old black bear. It is the image of this baby bear that is most often recalled when folks discuss the history of teddy bears. When Russian immigrants Morris and Rose Michtom saw the cartoon, they were inspired to put a stuffed bear that Rose had made in the window of their of Brooklyn stationary and novelty store.

  • HISTORY of TOYS: Timeline 4000 B.C - 1993 Iowa State University
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF TOYS By Tim Lambert Early Toys Before the 20th century children had few toys and those they did have were precious. Furthermore children did not have much time to play. Only a minority went to school but most children were expected to help their parents doing simple jobs around the house or in the fields. Egyptian children played similar games to the ones children play today. They also played with toys like dolls, toy soldiers, wooden animals, ball, marbles, spinning tops and knucklebones (which were thrown like dice). In Ancient Greece when boys were not at school and girls were not working they played ball games with inflated pig's bladders. They also played with knucklebones. Children also played with toys like spinning tops, dolls, model horses with wheels, hoops and rocking horses. Roman children played with wooden or clay dolls and hoops. They also played ball games and board games. They also played with animal knucklebones. Toys changed little through the centuries. In the 16th century children still played with wooden dolls. (They were called Bartholomew babies because they were sold at St Bartholomew's fair in London). They also played cup and ball (a wooden ball attached by string to the end of a handle with a wooden cup on the other end. You had to swing the handle and try and catch the ball in the cup). Modern Toys The industrial revolution allowed toys to be mass produced and they gradually became cheaper. John Spilsbury made the first jigsaw puzzle in 1767. He intended to teach geography by cutting maps into pieces but soon people began making jigsaws for entertainment.
