If you are scratching your head for ways to keep players engaged, consider stocking licensed toys for your arcade or game center.
Why Should Arcades Stock Licensed Toys in Prize Bins?
Everyone has a favorite movie, TV show, game, or character who they cannot get enough of. This applies to younger kids, teens, and even adults. If the popularity of Funko Pops is any indication, fans love having merchandise for their favorite characters.
Licensed toys are a must for all arcades for 4 reasons:
- They stand out. Generic toys are exciting and enticing to players, but licensed items promote collectability – thus more sales.
- Licensed prizes can help arcades appeal to a larger audience. For most arcades, it is easy to find prizes that appeal to younger kids, but teens and young adults are harder to target. Licensed prizes are the solution!
- High-perceived value at an affordable cost. Licensed prizes have an extra wow factor over generic prizes so you can increase the ticket value beyond the cost of the item.
- Create returning players. Licensed prizes are memorable and when a player wins a licensed prize, such as a Mickey Mouse™ Toaster, they will always remember where they got it. This means they will return your arcade to win more prizes.
