Too much pinned on one clip
Article Abstract:
Caldwell Investments has launched a new range of nursery products and it sees its ninaclip for baby strollers as likely to bring benefits over the medium term. There are risks involved in focusing on a single range, and it is difficult to forecast whether it will be successful. The United Kingdom nursery product market itself presents difficulties due to a slowdown in the birth rate. The company has stated that distributors have shown interest in its clip, but it is unclear whether it will be popular among consumers.
