CHATSWORTH, Calif.—The 2014 AVN Awards have honored Evolved Novelties and Zero Tolerance Toys with nominations in five categories including Best Pleasure Product Manufacturer, Best Product Line for Women and Best Product Line for Men.
“We’ve been growing quickly at Evolved Novelties lately and we’re thrilled that AVN has taken notice,” said Marcus West, marketing director at Evolved Novelties and Zero Tolerance Toys. “Among other new ventures, our focus has been on high end products for women, and developing the best possible men’s products at ZT. Jack-aide, for example, has been hugely successful.”
ZT Toys is nominated for Best Lubricant Manufacturer, and the Jack-aide line itself for Best Product Line for Men. The hard-working lubricant brand comes in thin, medium and thick densities as well as silicone. ZT Toys offers a unique array of sex-enhancing liquids, as well as a growing collection of instructional kits like the popular ‘Couples BDSM’ kit for beginner’s exploration.
ZT Toys has recently re-vamped their entire look in favor of a cleaner design with an eye toward easily pairing products together at the store level.
“We recognized that ZT Toys has broader appeal,” said Elissa Williams, marketing manager at Zero Tolerance Toys. “So we wanted to update the look to attract a couples-friendly demographic, while still keeping a strong male vibe.”
Evolved Novelties, which opened its doors in 2006 and has been growing off the charts ever since, was recognized in the categories of Best Pleasure Product Manufacturer – Large, and Best Product Line for Women.
“We have so much going on at Evolved this year, from our partnership with Adam & Eve to our non-stop toy innovations,” said Lucy Vonne D’Olimpio, sales executive and resident ‘toy whisperer’ at Evolved Novelties. “Our toys are really popular with women looking for high quality materials, innovative shapes, and rechargeables. I’m excited that AVN has recognized our strengths.”
The AVN Awards will take place Jan. 18, 2014, at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.
