Welcome to the first of what will hopefully be many editions of "Local Snapshot".  For this edition I had the pleasure to meet Crystal and her lovely children as well as a friend of the family.  I hope you enjoy my interview with her and learn a little bit about the product that she offers.  I personally think it's a GREAT one.

Missy:  So tell me a bit about what you sell?

Crystal:  Discovery Toys products. We offer an array of products that support the development of a variety of skills for balanced learning, and our products grow with your child. We take great pride in the quality and safety of our products. Every one of our products meets or exceeds the standards set by the U.S. government regarding safety. Toys are tested by an independent company for toxins upon their return to the US and Discovery Toys has never had an issue with lead paint. These products are also Phathalate-free including our teethers! Discovery Toys products are backed with an unconditional satisfaction guarantee. That's not something that is offered at most retail stores!



Missy:  How did you get involved with it?  What made you sell discovery toys?

Crystal:  I began to get concerned about my children's health when the recalls started. Many of our toys were recalled and I decided to seek out other sources for my children's toys. I found Discovery Toys and loved them. My son who is special needs, has many therapists and they only had good things to say about the products. Many of the toys are specifically geared towards children with delays and this year the company has even developed an Autism Support Project. This is a company that I am proud to be a part of.





















Missy:  Why do you sell them?

Crystal:  I think that everyone should have access to these great products and right now, the only way to order them is through a consultant.



Missy:  What's the best thing about selling them?

Crystal:  I love being able to show the toys!   Everyone gets hooked after playing with them!



Missy:  Are there things that have tended to not go out of style? Ya know how there are fads for some toys? What are the ones that are always in the catalog?

Crystal:  Discovery Toys has been around for 30 years and some items are just classics. The Measure Up Cups, Pegboard, and Hammer Away are some of the most popular items. These products are sure to be in the catalog for years to come.



Missy:  What are your children's fave toys?

Crystal:  My children really like the Working Trio, a set of 3 friction driven trucks. Go-Go Caterpillar is always a hit and the music CDs are great!



Missy:  Is it easy to sell them? Is there a lot of work involved?

Crystal:  Like any other business your Discovery Toys business will be what you make it. You can choose to work full-time or part-time and your success will be directly related to the time and effort that you are willing to put in. I find that once you are able to show the toys it is very easy to sell them.



Missy:  How can someone get Discovery Toys from you?

Crystal:  Home parties and personal shopping dates are the easiest way to order products. I can be reached at crystal00@gmail.com and there is an online catalog available at www.discoverytoysinc.com 

Missy:  How can someone get involved in selling Discovery Toys themselves?

Crystal:  Starting your own Discovery Toys business is easy. There is a $99 start up kit that has everything you need to start your business. This package includes over $300 worth of our most popular product, a personalized website, business tools and more. This kit is also available to those who may not be ready to start a business but love the toys. After the kit is purchased you will receive a 25% off wholesale discount. This can save you a lot of money if you plan on buying the products in the future.



Well that ends my first ever edition of Local Snapshots.  Hope that you all enjoyed and take the time to visit Discovery Toys to see what they offer.   And if you are interested Crystal would be a great place to start.
