Photograph of Cabbage Patch Kid dolls in a "nursery" at Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia. A large stuffed stork stands near the cribs. The dolls await "adoption" at Babyland General Hospital, which offers tours to the public. Each doll is given a unique appearance, personality description, name, and birthday.
The primary marketing technique for the Cabbage Patch Kids involves the idea that customers are not "buying" the dolls but "adopting" them. When prospective doll owners enter the Babyland General building, they are greeted in the reception area by a person wearing medical scrubs. All Babyland staff, in fact, wear medical scrubs while working. The hospital motif continues throughout the building, which includes a maternity ward and a "preemie" maternity ward, complete with Cabbage Patch Kids in incubators. - Metadata URL:
