HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—In January, Sportsheets International debuted their newest line, Sexperiments; which features five gift boxed kits with a number of different BDSM/fetish items for all types of customers ranging from beginners to seasoned veterans.
To celebrate the launch, and in conjunction with the release of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, the manufacturer conducted a Retail Display contest to get stores motivated to market their products for the anticipated sex toy rush associated with the movie release.
Sportsheets was overwhelmed with entries from retailers all over the country. With more than 50 entries, it made judging very difficult as so much time, energy, and attention to detail was put into each display.
All judging was done blindly, with all images printed and the judging performed by Sportsheet executives and employees as well as input from Facebook and Twitter.
The third place prize, which was $250 in Sportsheets products, went to Cindie's located at 20633 Katy Freeway in Katy, Texas.
Second place, which was $500 in Sportsheets products, went to Fairvilla Megastore for their Orlando, Fla., location.
The first-place prize, which is $1,000 in Sportsheets products, was awarded to the Adult Factory Outlet located at 12907 Foothill Blvd in Sylmar, Calif.
Because there were so many entries and customers were so receptive with the contest, Sportsheets also named an Honorable Mention for the Wicked Chamber Boutique located at 1959 Harbor Blvd .in Costa Mesa, Calif., and awarded them $200 in free Sportsheets Product.
"We were so overwhelmed with the number of entries that we received from this contest," said Sportsheets President Julie Stewart. "It was truly an amazing experience seeing the creativity of our customers and seeing our products displayed in so many different and unique ways. It was very hard to even narrow the entries down to 20. We want to thank all of our customers for their entries. We definitely plan on doing more contests like this in the future."
