Target has dropped its holiday season Bullseye’s Top Toys List and the retailer plans special weekly discounts. Other toys: Barbie Skipper dolls who work at Target and a $25 Bullseye Jumbo Plush toy.
US shoppers will be more frugal this holiday season, report says
U.S. holiday sales expected to grow at slowest pace in six years, report says.
If you’re targeting toys this holiday shopping season, Target has its 2024 Bullseye’s Top Toys list ready for you.
The list includes more than 60 toys like the LEGO Star Wars Droid Factory ($99.99) and Bluey Amusement Park Playset. Toy prices start as low as $7.99; about half of them are Target exclusives, including the Polly Pocket Target Bullseye Adventure Compact ($19.99).
And just a few weeks ago Walmart released its 2024 Top Toys List and Amazon announced its 2024 ‘Toys We Love’ list (Amazon’s Prime Day event hits Oct. 8-9.)
Beyond the 2024 Bullseye’s Top Toys List, Target says more than half its thousands of toys cost less than $20. During the retailer’s upcoming Target Circle Week (Oct. 6-12), members of the retailer’s Target Circle program can spend $40 on toys and get $10 off, or spend $75 on toys and get $20 off. (Sign up on Target.com and in the Target app.)
Speaking of apps, shopping on mobile devices is expected to account for more than half of all online shopping (53.2%) this holiday season, Adobe estimates. Overall, online shoppers are expected to spend a record $240.8 billion this holiday season, up 8.4%, the e-commerce tracking firm estimates.
Holiday shopping: More toys to be sold online
Online toy sales are expected to increase nearly 6% over last year to $8.1 billion, according to Adobe. With major discounts expected on products, the e-commerce tracking firm expects discounts on toys to peak at 27%.
Target is also looking to discounts as traffic drivers. The retailer plans weekly toy drops and promotions, with discounts of up to 50% on select items during the holiday shopping season.
