64% of the annual revenue of specialty toy and game stores is generated from January through October (BOOPER calculation based on the INSEE revenue index, 2023–2025 average). However, price sensitivity is concentrated toward the end of the year. Easter, summer sales, back-to-school season, birthdays, and outdoor activities: these less prominent peak periods do not attract the same customer base or exhibit the same price sensitivity as December, and are managed according to different rules.

Toys Beyond Christmas: Keeping the Toy Aisle Alive for the Other Ten Months
This white paper categorizes key non-Christmas sales periods based on their demand drivers (fixed date, variable date, weather, personal events, births) and provides pricing and promotional guidelines for each. The figures are verified and date from 2025 to 2026 (INSEE, Météo-France, OpinionWay for Sofinco, CAF, official calendars).

- How to schedule Easter and spring break, which do not coincide from one region to another or from one year to the next
- What Should Definitely Be on Summer Sale, and What Should Stay at Regular Price
