Business that went bankrupt
Toys R Us is on the verge of going through bankruptcy in America at the moment and also in the UK. The reason for that is because they didn’t change their business model.
Toys R Us had a dominant position as the leading toy retailer in the world for years. The problem is they didn’t adapt, and made a few stupid moves along the way. One of those big mistakes that they made was not thinking that online was going to be big.
When they launched online, they gave their online fulfillment to Amazon. Amazon ran their online enterprise for Toys R Us. This meant that Amazon became the place to buy toys, not Toys R Us online, which was a really stupid move.
So what happens when you go into Toys R Us is you see the same toys that you see on Amazon. They’re no different, they didn’t get any unique products or services in there. You just come to Toys R Us. It’s just toys stacked up to the ceiling.
For that reason that business isn’t gonna succeed anymore. Which is why they’re at a point that they’re looking to close the stores.
Business Lesson:
So the message for your business from this is that you need to look at evolving your business over time. You’ve got to be online, you’ve got to be seen online and heard online. Make it accessible for your customers to buy your products and services online. Don’t be the next Toys R Us.
