Awesome Kids, L.L.C. has been in operation since 1991, founded by an
entrepreneur who was concerned about the growing trend of toys
attempting to leave no room for imagination in play, especially in the
early ages of 3 to 8 years. His concept of "Toys in a Box," provided
the basis to cover many areas of play with a single basic box. The
boxes were to be portable, packable, and stackable to allow the young
child the freedom to play anywhere and clean up with a minimum of
effort. This concept also allows the parent to teach the
responsibility of cleaning up after oneself without the need for great
pressure.
The initial offerings were boxes containing Dinosaurs, African
Animals, Cowboys & Indians, etc. The current list contains over 30
titles and is growing as we write this letter. The latest offerings
are a Revolutionary War box, a US Civil War box and a Rodeo box which
have only been available in the past six or seven months. Our latest
box, out this summer, is our Mt. Olympus Magic box, just in time for
the summer games in Greece.
Planned in the marketing strategy are a group of Awesome Kid
characters featured on our web pages and a staple in our boxes. These
include the Awesome Professor, with his sidekick, Mervin the mink, and
six awesome kids, all trademarked. These characters will be featured
in our coming DVD's and VHS's about the adventures of the Awesome
Kids.
We sell to over 3500 high end quality retailers, gift shops,
children's hospitals, museums, aquariums, zoos, teacher's supply
stores, and, of course, toy shops. We ship in case quantities only
(6pcs./case), and use UPS exclusively for shipping from our
Chicagoland warehouse.
