FORT LAUDERDALE, FL–(Marketwired – Sep 21, 2016) – The Singing Machine Company, Inc., (OTCQX: SMDM) North America’s leader in consumer karaoke entertainment systems, announces it is debuting a new line of toy products under the brand “SMC Kids” at the Dallas Fall Toy Preview held from September 27-29, 2016 (Booth: 13-3109).

“SMC Kids” will be an entirely new line of toy products with a central theme of music, entertainment and learning. The Kids Line offers colorful, appealing singalong toys for kids aged 3-9 and will provide fun, affordable, easy-to-use singing products designed to teach children about the joy of singing. 

Bernardo Melo, VP of Sales & Marketing, commented, “The SMC Kids line represents a huge area of potential growth for us as a Company. The Kids Line opens up new distribution possibilities to a significant new number of retail customers that we are not already doing business with. It also allows us to cross sell to multiple departments within the retailers where we are already doing business.”

Gary Atkinson, Company CEO commented, “The singalong toy category is currently dominated by licensed products, such as Frozen™ and Doc McStuffins™. The Singing Machine Kids Line will be refreshingly unaffiliated. This allows for broader appeal to all age groups, effectively widening the target demographic. We plan to add value to our retail partner to provide a lasting brand that won’t go out of style at the speed of the latest Disney trend. Our customers can feel confident in purchasing a toy with staying power, a real gift that will deliver joyful, musical memories for years to come.”

The Singing Machine Kids Line will launch with 6 new products for Spring 2017 release and will target suggested retail prices below $49.
