MATTEL PROFITS

Zacks Equity Research, On Friday April 16, 2010, 10:46 am EDT

Mattel Inc. (NasdaqGS: MAT - News) has reported first quarter earnings of 7 cents per share. It is quite a revelation, considering that the company was expected to report a loss of 2 cents per share according to the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company had incurred a loss of 14 cents in the year-ago quarter.

The better-than-expected results were primarily driven by strong sales of its core brands such as Barbie and Hot Wheels and its licensed toy lines, particularly newer ones like the World Wrestling Entertainment, Thomas and Friends, and Toy Story. The company is also focused on controlling its expenses and has reaped its benefits.

WWE - PRICING



LINK: wweshop.com

PRICE RANGES: CLASSIC ITEMS:
under $10 up to 84% off
$10 - $19.99
$20 - $29.99
$30 - $39.99
$40 - $49.99
over $50

According to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, "The Economy Matters."

The strategy that I noticed from WWE pricing is the more items they offer the lower the rates. To say the least, their price ranges are phenomenal. WWE continues to aim flexibility at a range of economic abilities, ethnically diverse groups, and satisfy the approximated wide range of 3 years to 50 and 60’s years old.

SECOND RETAILING EXPERIENCE



I went into a $0.99 Plus Store in Harlem and walked right out. The store had stacks of items everywhere, that you can't even walk. The sales clerks were just joking around as if this was a normality. It was just a horrible scene. The customer service was invisible, the place was dirty, and the only good thing was ... it didn't stink!!!
