POGS Kids only headphones
POGS was founded in 2018 with our kids headphones hitting the market in February 2019. Our intention is to provide kids with high quality, safe, and durable headphones that have a reduced environmental impact. While we aim to grow our business internationally, we equally aim to reduce our footprint for which next steps are being implemented. 10% of profits go to nature restoration, we only use non-toxic and as much as possible recycled material. We minimize scrap material and recycle any waste from production and don’t use any single use plastics.
While our products have been sold in over 50 countries, our core markets are Germany, UK, Netherlands , France, Belgium and the USA. We only sell online direct to consumer, using our own localized Shopify domains and established marketplaces such as Amazon. This enables us to offer highly spec’d products at affordable premium pricing, while reserving significant budgets for marketing activation.
Our growth continues at double & triple digit rates with a positive bottom line. With so far over 100.000 kids enjoying POGS, we aim to continue to grow strongly and become a strong global player in kids heaphones, a market estimated at $250+M globally.
Using the experience of over 40 years in marketing and developing great consumer products, we have built a carefully curated network of specialists who together are enabling the fast growth of POGS. This keeps us flexible to tackle the evolving opportunities we see and challenges we face. Our culture is down to earth, open, ambitious and explorative. We’re not about having a big offices or fancy titles; we focus on bringing the right skills together to develop the business dynamically.
We have three key growth drivers:
Market penetration in our current focus markets;
Portfolio expansion: new products and accessories are in development for launch 2023;
Controlled channel & geographic expansion.
