Christine Osborne has been an inspiration to watch over the years with her “Wonder Works” Stores. She has exhibited Creative business solutions to one of the most competitive industries in the country. She’s done this, profitably, by selecting and developing one of the most innovative retail product mixes for a store her size. She knows product and in short order, sees the marketing opportunity and trends before they become a success. Due to her leadership skills, she has, not only, made a brand name for herself and her toy chain in South Carolina, as a community contributor, but nationally through several Toy and Retailing organizations. Lastly, I don’t believe I have ever seen anyone who was more enthusiastic about her industry, her stores, her team, and her products, as Christine. That enthusiasm and positive “vibe” rubs off on everything and everyone she knows.

“Your presentation today inspired me and motivated me more than any person I have ever heard speak. Not only were your words captivating and your method of speaking energizing, but also your message powerfully resonated with me. As you say, I have many quirks, and sometimes I feel isolated because of these quirks. However, your message- that the quirks are what will make me a success-empowered me and gave me confidence that following my passions is the right path for me to take. Thank you. You are a catalyst for my progression in entrepreneurship.”

“Christine Osborne is a dynamic speaker with thought provoking messages. She can hold an audience’s attention and have them wanting more of her insights and common sense. I have personally known Christine for over fifteen years and have had her visit my undergraduate classes at The Citadel. She is constantly ranked as the best speaker of the semester by the students. I have also heard her give other presentations that were both informative and entertaining. She has the Magic! Invite Christine to speak; you will not be disappointed.”

“Energy. Talent. Fast Thinking. Consultative marketing at its best! The CSO team came prepared to dive right into the key issues. They focused in on areas for instant wins and also helped us plan out longer term activities to keep our momentum going. Working with CSO has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made during my 30 year career. The results were immediate.”

“Bears for Humanity partnered with Christine Osborne to conduct a focus group review about our company, mission and our organic teddy bears. Christine and her team planned, executed and taped this session. The outcome from this focus group is eye opening for our company growth and future direction. I highly recommend Christine to anyone who is interested in an unbiased view feedback.”

“I can say that Goldieblox was impressed by all aspects of working with Christine Osborne. Communications was clear and prompt from the beginning, she created a fun, engaging atmosphere for the kids who tested our products, and gave us quick and organized feedback. We learned a few entirely new things from her session that we hadn’t seen in our on-site testing, and are now determining how to take action with those insights.”

“Goldieblox just did a Toy Testing Session with Wonder Works and we were so surprised by the feedback we received. We do in-house Toy Testing Sessions every week in our office, but we finally decided to try outsourcing it; Wonder Works just came through with the best information! They observed things we were never able to identify on our own and really just gave us so much data that helped us make our toys even better. We are so grateful for this opportunity, and we would absolutely recommend it to anybody!”

“Christine is one of the most passionate and hardest working people I know. She is also extremely knowledgeable and well respected in her industry. She has a very keen intuition for how products will perform in the Specialty Toy Industry. She is also not afraid to test new concepts and products. She gave my product, The Swurfer, a shot at her stores when Rob Co. had zero sales and she mentored me. Then sales soared past our highest expectations. ”

“Christine Osborne knows what kids want, what parents will buy, and exactly how to sell products in the toy industry. Her connections, passion, and insight have been crucial for Dynepic navigating the specialty toy industry, getting us in front of the right people to grow our business, and make our vision of play a reality.”

“Over the course of an hour Christine S. Osborne provided Rush3 with amazingly valuable (and brutally honest) feedback on a children’s product of ours. Informed from her years of being a successful toy seller and Owner of Wonder Works Toys. She was able to quickly distill the relevancy of our idea in the toy industry, provide alternative ways to market and in turn, saved Rush3 Product Design Studio a lot of time and money by narrowing our focus on a successful course of action.”

“We were so lucky to have Christine Osborne come and talk to our students at Clemson University! Christine has energy that is incredible and an enthusiasm that is infectious. Her experience, insights, and advice were invaluable for our students. Christine’s delivery is so engaging-she is an effective speaker, motivator, and educator. Christine, THANK YOU for your willingness to share your successes and failures, and how you learned from them. We look forward to having you at Clemson again in the future!”
