Online Toy Sales Partnerships

Target Will Now Handle Orders Form the Toys 'R' Us Website

— October 11, 2019 — Business
The Toys 'R' Us website was recently relaunched due to the company's new partnership with Target. The partnership is part of the company's strategy to recapture its market share. When consumers make a purchase on the Toys 'R' Us website, they will then be directed to the Target website.

The terms of the deal were not made public, but could be mutually beneficial for both organizations as Toys 'R' Us will be able to sell products and Target will get more traffic. However, the partnership will also operate in a similar way once Toys 'R' Us opens its physical locations. Target indicated that it will also handle the online sales for Toys 'R' Us products after brick and mortar locations are once again operational.
