Want to score some great samples for your store, or really get to check out new toys by having them in hand?

TDmonthly Magazine
's new Weekly Toy Giveaway Sweepstakes for Storeowners gives your store the chance to bring in extra product for free. How can you enter to win?

Visit this link each week to see the current giveaway. You can log in to enter the Sweepstakes once per day, and when the week is up, your name will be entered into a random drawing to select the designated number of winners for that week.

In addition to winning the specified prize, winners will also receive a pre-determined discount on the selected product or line should they decide to bring it into their store (per manufacturer's discretion).

In order to enter, you must own a retail store that currently sells toys. ToyDirectory.com/TDmonthly.com will confirm the legitimacy of retailers before they are declared Sweepstakes winners. No purchase is necessary. See the official rules here.
