SAN FRANCISCO—Perry Mann’s Exotic Erotic Ball has announced that its first-ever Ball Bucks program is a complete sell-out. This means $10,350 in extra sales revenue—guaranteed—for its sponsors and exhibitors.
The Exotic Erotic Ball is celebrating its 30th anniversary Oct. 23-24 at the Cow Palace Arena, San Francisco.
“In honor of the 30th anniversary, we offered $30 certificates called Ball Bucks as a package element to consumers who bought VIP tickets with hotel,” said Ball founder Perry Mann. “Last week, we completely sold out the program, and with it, we sold out the entire Radisson hotel. The $30 in Ball Bucks is redeemable at any booth in our Expo and we reimburse the vendors for all the Ball Bucks certificates they collect. Since we gave out 345 certificates, that adds up to $10,350 in guaranteed additional sales for our vendors.”
“This is why we support this event more than any other,” said Ellen Mason of Intimate Associates. “They are very proactive in helping exhibitors and sponsors generate onsite revenue.”
“I have sold Halloween masks at this show for six years,” added Steve Pogni, “and it’s always my biggest grossing show year to year. I’ll pick up $500 extra just from Ball Bucks.”
The event draws its sponsors and exhibitors from both adult and mainstream communities. Adult sponsors include leading Bay Area distributor B.A.D. Inc., HotMovies.com and AEBN’s Real Touch. Mainstream sponsors include Hedonism III, Crunch Fitness, and Sonicbids.
“We try to work with sponsors whose products and services match our themes,” said Howard Mauskopf, Ball producer. “The Asian Diva Girls always provide eye candy, B.A.D Inc. along with Greg Alves and Zero Tolerance is bringing us Lisa Ann, Dr. Susan Block will offer real-world advice through free onsite seminars, and Alexander Valley Vineyards will feature Sin Zin, perfectly suited for one of our most popular participatory events: Wine Tasting with Adult Stars. But what really excites me most this year is RealTouch, because there’s never been anything like it. We love showcasing revolutionary technology.”
