Step-by-step explanation:
It was around the 1980's that the Strawberry Shortcake Strategy started being employed in marketing aimed at children. Before then, if a TV show was popular, a line of toys would be created because of it. The Strawberry Shortcake Strategy does things the other way around. It creates a line of toys and, with the purpose of selling it, a TV show is then created.
