Dervish
Toys and Amazon.com Join Forces
Small company joins larger's beta program |
After a year of talks, Dervish Toys launched its flagship product-
the Faery Folk® collectible dolls and story booklets-
on Amazon.com. This relationship was made possible by the creation
of Amazon.com's newest business solutions service- "Fulfillment
by Amazon."
"Fulfillment by Amazon" or "FBA" gives small
and medium-sized businesses access to Amazon's order fulfillment,
customer service, customer shipping offers, and underlying website
technology to improve the experience they offer their customers.
Dervish Toys agreed to work with "Fulfillment by Amazon"
as a "beta client" to test the new service for the toy
category. This required an integration between several internal
departments and services at Amazon.com, including storage, inventory
control, pick & pack, shipping and customer service.
"We are excited about the possibilities of Fulfillment by Amazon
for our children's product line 'The Faery Folk dolls.' For small
manufacturers of unique products like us, one of the greatest challenges
is getting the product to the consumer in a cost-effective manner,"
said Charles Erdman, co-founder and president of Dervish Media and
Dervish Toys.
"The overhead costs of pick-and-pack for one-off orders drains
time and resources away from the important tasks of marketing and
business development. Fulfillment by Amazon alleviates this issue
by acting as the small business owner's fulfillment house at an
acceptable price point."
"With a rapidly growing brand and product line, execution is
critical for our business, which is why we're so optimistic about
the impact Fulfillment by Amazon can have on our business."
Although, the system is still being fine-tuned, it has now launched
and is driving sales of the Faery Folk collectible dolls for this
'06 holiday season.
ABOUT DERVISH TOYS
Dervish Toys is the sales and marketing arm of
Dervish Media, exclusively for toy brands. It is responsible for
marketing the toy products developed and produced by Dervish
Media. Dervish Toys is proud to present their first product-
the Faery Folk(R) collectible dolls and storybooks.
The first element of The Legends of the Faery Folk(R) property
is a dream come true for co-founder Tatiana Romanov, whose grandfather
was a Russian prince expelled during the Bolshevik revolution. His
wondrous tales of Russian faeries inspired her to create a line
of faery dolls to spark the imaginations of children worldwide.
A line of six distinctive, highly crafted collectible dolls with
unique costumes and story books, the Faery Folk (R) also have a
dedicated Web site (www.theFaeryFolk.com) with corresponding personal
histories. Dervish will follow its initial wave of wholesale doll
sales with a book, a line of officially licensed apparel, and a
video series.
