NEW YORK—Nasstoys owner and founder Elliot Schwartz was honored at the 2014 StorErotica Awards ceremony, where he received a Lifetime Achievement Award. The ceremony was held during the ANME Founders Show.
The show was a major success for the manufacturer, reports Kathryn Hartman, sales and marketing director of Nasstoys. "Our newest collections were well received by attendees of the show," Hartman said. "We were confident going in that our summer 2014 collections would be a hit, but more than pleasantly surprised when sales exceeded our expectations. I think retailers and distributors appreciate that carrying Nasstoys means high-end doesn't have to be high priced."
The 2014 StorErotica Awards were held on Sunday, July 13 and were hosted by BBW fetish model and performer Kelly Shibari. Schwartz was on hand at the ceremony alongside the Nasstoys crew, and he gave thanks to his best friend and business partner, Teddy Rothstein. He was delighted to receive the honor amonst his industry peers and colleagues.
"I've been in this business a long time and have given my all to this company and industry," Schwartz said. "We have come a long way from our start over 35 years ago and I couldn't have done it without the support of my best friend and business partner Teddy, as well as the dedicated crew at Nasstoys. It's an honor to be recognized for what I've contributed to this industry and we here at Nasstoys look forward to yet better days ahead."
