Kylii Kids pour un Retail Tech Tour

Kylii Kids in Germany

The United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and now Germany … Clearly, the concept of digital playgrounds proposed by Kylii Kids is sufficiently relevant and innovative to cross borders with the Retail Tech Tour !

“Thanks to Business France,” explains Antoine Nuger, Commercial Director of Kylii Kids, “we were able to conduct a targeted prospecting mission to Germany on a list of clients who are difficult to approach for a company that is not yet locally established. Several contacts were initiated and the conclusion of a first collaboration with the company ECE, landowner at the head of many shopping centers, was able to start successfully “. Encouraging results that have motivated Kylii Kids to offer digital playground solutions to major players in Germany, within the sector, via the Retail Tech Tour organized by Business France.

90 million consumers to target

From 18th to 19th February 2019, Kylii Kids will meet the big names of the German retail sector at EuroCIS, the leading trade show in Europe for retail tech, and also attend the Retail Technology Awards Europe 2019. A real opportunity, knowing that in 2017 the total turnover of the stationary and online retail trade in Germany amounted to about 479 billion euros against 471.5 billion euros in 2016, an annual growth of 1, 5%.

Virtual reality is “amazing”!

This vision from the NRF Big Show website, corresponds perfectly to the latest product in our range. The interactive gaming experience for children is entering a new era with virtual reality solutions. Using a VR headset, the player is immersed in a parallel universe that covers their entire field of vision through a panoramic display.  It’s new, it’s cool, it’s digital, it’s interactive, it’s immersive, kids love it! For businesses, the opportunity to attract, engage and retain a family audience is outstanding and with VR you can maximise that appeal.
