#286: 3 Surprising Ways To Use AI To Save Money In Your Toy Business


Listen Later

Toy people, I see you. You’re trying to run your business, deal with tariffs, build your brand, pitch your ideas, and maybe even answer customer questions at 3AM. But what if I told you that AI could actually help you make the most out of your time and money as you build your toy business?

In this episode of Making It in The Toy Industry, I’m breaking down 3 powerful and unexpected ways to use AI tools to save money, reclaim your time, and scale smarter even if you’re just getting started.

Here’s what we’ll get into:

  • How I’m using AI chatbots to help toypreneurs boost conversions (without hiring a 24/7 team)
  • Why ChatGPT is officially my new Facebook Ads assistant, and how it cut my ad costs nearly in half 
  • The wildest one yet: AI playtesting. Yep. I asked ChatGPT to playtest a game… and what happened next blew my mind 

This episode will show you how AI can help you work smarter, stretch your dollars further, and keep your momentum going even when resources are tight. The truth is, we can’t afford to ignore these tools, not when costs are rising and expectations are higher than ever.

And if you’re ready to bring your toy or game idea to life with the help of AI, join me for my upcoming bootcamp on September 23rd at learn.thetoycoach.com/bootcamp
