The buzz at the ANE Show in Pasadena was not about the newest vibrator or the most innovative packaging in adult products. All the hype this year focused on something very hot in the Sportsheets booth, their new Director of Sales, Todd Carter.
“The response from our customers was overwhelming,” explained Tom Stewart, Sportsheets president. “Todd is so respected and liked by everyone in the industry. People congratulated us all day long.”
With a prominent location and a stellar new display, the Sportsheets booth stopped traffic. Launching two new lines, flirt and Manline, as well as Carter, the booth overflowed with customers the whole show, even while other manufacturers began breaking down on Wednesday. Serious brand recognition, more universal products, and a new force behind sales indicate that Sportsheets clearly has arrived as a major player.
“The timing could not have been more perfect,” Carter said. “With the addition of flirt and Manline, Sportsheets is growing tremendously and I am excited to push Sportsheets to the next level. I know the quality of the products and the people at Sportsheets and it seemed only natural for me to join the team.”
The buzz about Carter’s move began right before the show.
“A customer from Michigan called me over the weekend and said ‘How does it feel to be the owner of the Miami Heat?’” said Julie Stewart, “when I asked for clarification, Dawn Connor roared, ‘you just got the Shaquille O’Neal of the adult industry!’ It was great to hear such wonderful things about Todd. But, of course, we already felt that way ourselves.”
