LOS ANGELES - Cleo's Boutique, an upscale e-tailer of adult and romance products, is mentioned as the source for two sexy lingerie items recommended in the February issue of the women's magazine Redbook.
Calling the Candy Bra and Candy G-string ($8.50 each at CleosBoutique.com) "an edible piece of lingerie catering to those who ‘hunger' for more from their lover," the magazine recommends the items as unusual - and slightly kinky - ways to attract a man's attention. They're also seductively suggestive gift items.
Redbook claims to have a dedication circulation of 2.3 million readers.
Cleo, who founded the boutique in 2006, understandably was excited by the exposure.
"This is an exciting opportunity to introduce our quality romance and erotica products into the bedrooms of millions of sexually curious women across the country," she said. "We know the readers of Redbook will love the comfortable and confidential environment we've created at CleosBoutique.com, the Candy Bra and other sensually enhancing products."
The candy lingerie items are "fairly new" in her store, Cleo said, but the tout in Redbook has them selling like hotcakes.
"They have been hot commodities," she told AVN Novelty Business. "We have seen a tremendous pickup and response from Redbook's readers, and we couldn't be more excited."
Cleo said the response has confirmed that she and the boutique are doing something right, both in marketing and product selection. When she designed the e-tail location, she set out to create a one-of-a-kind destination that would appeal to discerning women who value privacy, discretion and selection. Consequently, she built in not only her own taste in merchandise, but also an innovative "elevator" feature that assists with navigation by making the site analogous to an upscale department store in the brick-and-mortar world. The elevator allows users to select the kinds of products - toys, books, videos and body products from leading manufacturers - that interest her without fear of exposure to others that might offend.
"Our visitor is in complete control of her shopping experience in an online boutique that replicates a visit to an upscale department store," Cleo said.
"We take a lot of pride in our work, giving our customers the most incredible shopping experience on the Web," she added. "From our elevator layout to delivery and everything in-between, we want to give our customers nothing short of the best experience when shopping for these incredible products."
