pool floats

Within the last five years, pool toys have increasingly rolled, glided and dived off retailers' shelves to become one of the more popular product niches. Pool floats, games, inflatables and underwater toys range in price from $2 to $700, and now account for 15 percent of division profits, according to top retailers contacted by Pool & Spa News. Demand for pool toys has increased about i0 percent per year. Consumers buy toys primarily for children's parties and lounging in the pool. Pool floats, which retailers display year 'round but sell more in the spring and summer months, increase the social-center value of the backyard environment.
