LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/26/15 — (OTCQB: STOY), a leading provider of mobile-connected wireless entertainment products, has received another 500,000 unit purchase order for , the company–s flagship line of Bluetooth-enabled, interactive plush toys.
CloudPets deploy Spiral–s proprietary Bluetooth Smart Communications Module that wirelessly connects its internal voice box to any popular mobile device, allowing parents, grandparents or friends to deliver in their own voice a “message you can hug” from anywhere in the world. Then with just a squeeze, the child can instantly reply.
The purchase order represents the second 500,000-unit order placed by CloudPets– primary global distributor who services major retailers. The distributor has reported strong demand and outlook since placing an initial 500,000-unit order at the end of April.
“This phenomenal demand for CloudPets validates our concept of connected toys and demonstrates the huge potential of our technology platform,” said Mark Meyers, CEO of Spiral Toys. “In fact, with orders now exceeding 1 million units, we–ve surpassed our initial benchmarks for this phase of the product roll out.”
Consumers have been ordering CloudPets online at and by phone in response to a multi-million dollar television and digital advertising campaign launched in April. The launch follows a trial program last year where all 2,000 allocated units sold out immediately after the first debuted. CloudPets currently sells online for $39.99, plus shipping and handling.
The new media campaign calls for more than 3,800 CloudPets commercials to air on the nation–s most popular children–s networks, including Nickelodeon, The Cartoon Network, ABC Family and Disney XD. Reaching an audience of millions, the television commercials support the ongoing direct response campaign as well as the planned roll out to major retail stores this summer aimed at stocking the shelves with CloudPets for the holiday season.
CloudPets is the first product that incorporates Spiral–s mobile-connected entertainment platform that connects physical items to mobile devices through wireless and mobile technology, thereby creating an entirely new interactive user experience for both kids and adults.
The platform is powered by mobile applications available for free download on and on , with the apps providing dynamic interaction and the potential for content and feature monetization through in-app purchases.
“To be sure, Spiral is about much more than fun, lovable plush toys, and even more than the amazing mobile apps that connect them,” added Meyer. “Spiral is actually a new genre of multimedia platforms that represents the ultimate in converged communications and interactivity. Our focus is less on purveying toys, but more on developing and delivering the proprietary technology that powers such connected products. Our goal is to become the leading –Intel Inside– for all kinds of entertainment products, manufactured by us or others, with CloudPets representing just the beginning.”
