HENDERSON, NV - At Purple Sticky Brand, "pleasure is the pursuit." So says company owner Vincent Wallace, who says the manufacturer offers retailers a wide variety of items, ranging from sexual stimulants to herbs, herbal blends, lotions, incense, candles, dietary supplements and other adult products. "Our goal is, and always has been, to offer our stores high-quality products with high profit margins," Wallace says. "We do our best to do whatever we need to keep our customers happy."
Central to PSB's product line is its Purple Sticky Salvia, also known as salvia divinorum or Diviner's Sage, which has a tradition of use as an entheogen by indigenous Mazatec shamans during spiritual healing sessions.
PSB began "as a source for longevity products," Wallace says. "[However], as we grew, we used our knowledge to start producing the strongest nutraceutical smoke products on the market. We still have a laid-back approach to life and a love of pleasure, even though we have grown tremendously.
"In the beginning, most of our products were geared toward smoke shops. Through our experiences in dealing with this industry, we quickly learned that a lot of these stores are also adult shops or at least associated with them. ... As you all already know, people associated with the adult product industry are very open-minded, fun people. We love doing the adult trade shows and get a great response."
A quick browse through PSB's online store gives a sense of the adult products it offers. In addition to a range of salvia products, PSB sells Blue Steel Extreme Sexual Stimulant, Viamax (a female sexual-arousal product) and Sextacy Performance Enhancer for men. Add candles, hemp massage and body oil, and Red Dawn all-natural energy drink, and PSB has everything customers need to keep an adult party rockin' all night. "We are constantly checking out the newest products and researching what it is that the public wants," Wallace says. "With the changing laws regarding the adult novelty industry, a lot of adult stores are expanding their product lines to include items that they may have overlooked in the past."
So who buys PSB products?
"Different products sell well in different areas," Wallace replies. "We were surprised to find out, after launching our retail website, that a majority of our retail customers were in the 30-and-up age range. Some of them were even 60-plus. We also found that a lot of the [adult] retail customers have been looking for a way to discreetly purchase our products. A lot of them were in Small Town USA and did not want their neighbors knowing their business. Most of the adult stores respect the privacy of their customers, and people know this. This is another good reason our products sell well in adult shops and bookstores."
Adult retailers should know that concerns about salvia divinorum have been raised in some jurisdictions. In states such as Delaware, it is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. "As all business owners related to the adult industry know, laws vary from state to state regarding all kind of products," Wallace notes. "We always urge our stores to stay informed on legislation in their area, and we do our best to stay informed, as well. If we hear of any changing or pending legislation that will affect our customers in any way, we notify them as soon as possible. We always urge our stores to sell all of our products to legal adults with verification of age, even if it is not the law."
This said, Wallace is bullish about the growth potential for Purple Sticky Salvia and PSB's many other products. "As long as people have the need to break away from daily stress," he declares, "PSB products will be successful."
