Our first show where we secured a booth was AEE 2007. We have also exhibited at the International Lingerie Show in April 2007 and the AVN Adult Novelty Expo in July 2007 in LA. We have recently just participated in our first show internationally with a booth at Venus in Berlin this October. We plan on continue to attend all of these shows in the future and will perhaps add a few more international shows to our repertoire...like the International Lingerie Show in Paris in January or Bread & Butter in Barcelona in January.
What are the two biggest challenges when it comes to working in the adult novelty business?
Changing people's perception of this industry. Our goal is to bring these products more mainstream and the idea of women's self pleasure in general. After all...it's only sex and it's healthy. The other challenge is creating new and really functional designs which also take advantage of cutting edge technology. Anyone can create cool designs, but at the end of the day...they have to achieve their main purpose.
What are two of the most rewarding aspects about working in this industry?
It is rewarding when you see the "winds of change" approaching. It is also very rewarding when your customers tell you how much they enjoy your products and when they comment on small things and understand how much thought went into each component of the products development from imaging, to packaging to product functionality.

Brand creation , global fulfillment, quality design and innovative-technology enabled pleasure products. Side note: We are coming into the industry with fresh eyes and varying professional backgrounds which allow us to view the opportunities that the adult market has-in a much different way.
