infant & pre-school world New products for Go Mini
This July, Golden Bear’s Go Mini range will see the launch of the Twin Turbo Raceway. This new race track allows for high- and low- speed racing with the fl ick of a switch. Also new for Spring/Summer 2014 is the Turbo Pullbacks Stunt Set. Each car has a high-speed pullback unit to race over the ramp, jump the tyres, or crash into them for fun. Alternatively, the Power Boost Racers, which are set to launch this Autumn, are styled on a high-speed track race car, with striking graphics, they feature a power boost button to determine how far the car travels. Barry Hughes, commercial director at Golden Bear, commented: “We’ve had phenomenal success with our Go Mini range over the last two years so it was only natural to build on this and expand the range further for 2014. The addition of track racing adds a whole new dimension to the collection going forward.” The Go Mini range will be supported with an extensive marketing and PR campaign, leading with TV advertising and a national competition to win a real Mini, together with sampling, advertorials and a full social media schedule.
