Target is expanding its baby category with premium brands and a better in-store experience. This move aims to attract Gen Z and millennial parents while strengthening Target’s position in the baby market. Here's what you need to know:
- Target is adding 2,000+ new baby products to its assortment, and is partnering with premium brands like Lalo and Joie to refresh its baby aisle and attract more shoppers.
- Originally a DTC baby brand, Lalo is expanding into 750+ Target stores, with 235 locations featuring end caps and 550 stores carrying its Paw Patrol-branded meal accessories.
- With Buy Buy Baby's closure, Target is filling the gap by offering in-store experiences where parents can see and compare baby products before purchasing.
- Since 33% of parents with kids under 2 are Gen Z, and they enjoy in-store shopping, Target sees an opportunity to grow its baby registry and product selection.
- To succeed in retail, Lalo lowered prices, redesigned packaging, and adjusted fulfillment strategies, showing how DTC brands must adapt when entering mass retail.
