Flagship case study

Football Fidgets

The single strongest piece of evidence we have: a program that didn't just launch. It sold through, at scale, in a major retailer's channel. The design characters can be customised upon request.

The program

A toy that moved,
not just shipped

Football Fidgets is Crossmark Asia's flagship owned brand: a toy program carried through ALDI International's channels outside the US and Asia. The number that matters isn't what was ordered; it's what sold: 320,000 units moved through to shoppers.

That distinction is the whole point. Plenty of suppliers can get product onto a pallet. This is a program that earned its facings and then cleared them, the outcome a category buyer is actually underwriting.

What 320,000 units de-risks

Proven demand

The product has already found its shopper at retail scale. You're not testing whether the concept works.

Channel-tested

It cleared the standards and sell-through bar of ALDI International, a hard-discount, high-velocity environment.

A repeatable blueprint

The same planning, sourcing and QA that landed it is the process we'd run for your category.
