Kid Care pushes the big guys into licensing

Article Abstract:

The Kid Care line of children's bath products has been cutting into the market share of major brands since 1981 by licensing characters popular with kids. Kid Care, now owned by Tsumura International, started with 'Strawberry Shortcake' bubble bath and shampoo, and now sells a wide range of toiletries shaped like Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and others. Only recently have giants like Johnson & Johnson and Mennen entered the licensed bath market. Kid Care CEO Howard Hirsch discusses his company's phenomenal growth.
