Most start ups agree that the best way to market products like educational toys, which are affected by recommendations and word of mouth, is to promote them via social media like Facebook and Twitter. You can share specifics on the workings of each individual educational toy, and correlate to the latest scientific data on brain development for example. Linking your products with research will generate immediate buzz, with limited monetary investment.
There are other marketing activities which can create buzz for your business. For example, recently online toy retailer Grasshopper Toys has started a new fundraising scheme called "Cashback for Schools". Schools can receive a donation every time an order is placed by a parent. The schools can register on the Grasshopper's website, they each receive a unique code which parents can then use each time they purchase from Grasshopper Toys. A donation will automatically be entered in the school's account.
