Barbie Dolls
Made by Mattel ,Inc , Barbie Dolls were one of the fastest growing toys with over a $1.16 billion made. One of these dolls could make a young girl very happy. With the realistic looking and feeling hair and dresses of many colors Barbie dolls bring attention to many young girls. Some of these dolls even come with cars and houses making them more exiting. You can find these dolls in many different stores.

The Yo-Yo
Unlike the Barbie dolls people did cool stunts and tricks with Yo-Yo's. There are many different Yo-Yo's from plain wooden ones to colorful plastic ones. It really is impossible to tell how many yo-yos have been produced since their invention around 2,500 years ago, but anything with that kind of staying power has to be considered one of the best-selling toys in history.
On the commercial U.S. market, they’ve been around since Pedro Flores opened the Yo-yo Manufacturing Company in Santa Barbara, California, circa 1928. Donald F. Duncan knew a good thing when he saw it and purchased the business from Flores just one year later, and the “Duncan Yo-Yo” was born.
What you can learn from the Yo-Yo about selling: There’s staying power in simple products. Find a way to market your goods to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Children like the Yo-Yo because it’s easy to use, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find an adult (in one of 33 countries) taking first place the World Yo-Yo Contest.
