#ThrowbackThursday to when our team was in Los Angeles for the fabulous WiT - Women in Toys, Licensing & Entertainment Wonder Women Awards event on September 13! We had a blast celebrating all the finalists and winners, including our own Wonder Woman, Danni Loe who was selected as a finalist for the Marketing category. Our chief executive officer, Matt Stahlin had the honor of presenting the Brand Excellence award with executive vice president, Michelle Weber of Toy'n around, a Genesis Company. Congratulations on a wonderful event bringing together so many exceptionally talented Wonder Women in the industry! You make toys, licensing and entertainment a better industry to do business in! https://lnkd.in/eJR4qn-4 #womenintoys #licensing #entertainment #WonderWomenEverywhere #WWA2024 #toydistributor #salesaccelerator

As one of Amazon's largest 1P toy suppliers, Flat River Group would love to talk to anyone who received a 1P vendor termination notice from Amazon. We can easily keep your 1P business going, whether it be in Toys, Sports & Outdoors, Housewares, Lawn & Garden, or Baby. We will help with marketing your product and WE BUY AND HOLD INVENTORY! Reach out to Cherie Jansen, Michael McAvoy, or me if you'd like to know more!
Why is no one talking about the CASH & LIQUIDITY implications of the Amazon Vendor Termination fallout? Most of the posts I'm seeing from Amazon agencies are some version of: "We've transitioned many brands from 1P to 3P, frankly we've always advocated for that, so hire us and we'll help you" The idea that brands are just a "good agency away" from a successful 3P strategy is ridiculous and, frankly, distracting. Impacted brands need to talk about INVENTORY OWNERSHIP first. Full stop, nothing else matters.....yet. As a brand, if your working capital is tied to your Accounts Receivable (AR) balance, losing a top 5 customer that has provided you with regular POs for years is a HUGE deal. ESPECIALLY in an environment with tighter lending conditions. Yes, 3P can provide greater control and higher margin, but if the brand doesn't have the balance sheet to go from an AR-driven business model to an effectively Cash-based DTC model, that brand isn't going to make the transition. Bank lending and underwriting for these brands is going to be the tail that wags the dog of what decision a brand settles on. If you're a brand thinking ahead two steps and concerned about the FINANCIAL implications, send me a message, we have the infrastructure to alleviate that liquidity issue. Follow the money folks. #amazon #amazonvendor #amazonseller #finance #accounting

Having a Full Circle Moment! I remember attending my first Toy Fair in 2016, where I was encouraged by Matt Stahlin to network with the phenomenal WiT - Women in Toys, Licensing & Entertainment organization. It's inspiring to see how far the industry and group has come since then. Now, having one of our own remarkable co-workers Danni Loe nominated for a Wonder Woman award feels like a testament to the passion and dedication within our team. Thank you WiT for the continual trailblazing work to create countless opportunities in the toy industry. Safe travels to all attending in LA and I'm sure it will be as impactful as last year's event was. Congrats to all the nominees! #flatrivergroup #WiT #womenintoys

Flat River Group's own Matthew Feuerstein spoke to Belding High School's Dude Perfect class yesterday. As our Multimedia Manager, Matt was able to show the students some real world examples of how editing can enhance their videos. We are always happy to give back to Belding Area Schools. I don't have an exact count, but I think we probably have 20-30 employees who attended or graduated from Belding (including me!). Lots of hardworking talent in our hometown! #straightouttabelding
