Challenge

Selling toys online isn’t easy—it’s a competitive space where effectively showcasing a toy can make all the difference. And customers usually prefer hands-on interaction to fully grasp how toys work, their assembly requirements, and overall quality. Parents and gift-givers alike want assurance that a toy will meet their expectations before committing to a purchase. Replicating the in-store experience and building trust through digital channels is complex, but essential.


That’s why hundreds of toy and video game brands partnered with Eko to provide customers with an interactive journey that mirrors in-store exploration and increases confidence in their purchasing decisions. Eko’s interactive videos not only engage parents and gift-givers, guiding them in choosing the perfect toy—they also captivate kids who play an active role in influencing what toys end up in their carts.

Solution

Eko implemented interactive product videos across 600 toy PDPs, enriching the shopping experience and increasing customer engagement. Unlike static images and traditional videos, Eko’s product videos let online shoppers interact directly with toys, exploring key features and functionalities up close, at their own pace. This hands-on approach to online shopping boosted confidence in purchase decisions and reduced uncertainty, leading to a big increase in conversions and add-to-cart rates for Walmart Toy brands.

Interactive Product Videos

Customers actively engage with the features that matter most to them, clicking or tapping within the video to explore deeper and make purchasing decisions tailored to their needs. This hands-on experience helps shoppers make more informed decisions, ensuring the toy aligns with both the child’s preferences and the parent’s expectations.
