Here is everything you need to know about the August issue, and how to get involved.

With our special July reboot issue set to land on desks next week, work on the upcoming August issue is now underway, which will contain features on STEM toys, Plush and Wooden toys. Plus, with Covid-19 impacting many of this years trade shows, we will also be running a special ‘Show Off’ feature, to shine a light on up-and-coming products which may or may not be able to make an appearance at trade events for the latter part of this year.

With shops now reopening across England, we will be talking to a selection of indie retailers and industry experts for our regular Talking Shop and Touching Base features, to hear the opportunities and challenges that have arisen as we move forward into a ‘new normal’.

Other regular features such as Viewpoint, Allegedly and Licensing World will also be included in this months issue, together with feature interviews and a roundup of the latest news .

Companies wanting to get involved should contact the team ASAP. The editorial deadline is 3rd July and the ad deadline is the 14th July.
