FERNDALE, Mich.—Nalpac has earned three 2019 Storerotica Awards nominations, for Distributor of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year for Dicks with Don, and for Chief Operations Officer Andy Craig as Executive of the Year.
“We are very excited to be Nominated for these three awards. I’m especially excited about our nomination for Dicks with Don for Marketing Campaign of the Year. This has been the most fun I’ve ever had working on a project. Once we started working on the concept for Dicks with Don and got the animation and theme song completed, I knew we were really on to something great. The response from everyone has been overwhelmingly positive, and reading the comments on the videos is hilarious. If you haven’t seen Dicks with Don yet you are missing out,” said Amy Lazzara, Nalpac’s creative director.
With just two years under new ownership, Nalpac has spent much of the past year continuing to make progressive changes in the distribution space offering the App for Adult Retail Stores and launching a new partnership program for an online retailer to manage all of their inventory, warehouse and fulfillment operations. Nalpac’s current and modern approach has reinvigorated the company and shows retailers that there are more efficient and reliable tools available to make their jobs less stressful and more productive.
Nalpac has also introduced a new web series is called Dicks with Don featuring senior Nalpac buyer Don Zerilli with his 16 years of industry experience, breaking down the top items retailers and consumers need to buy and what they should stay away from. Dicks with Don is developed and produced by Nalpac’s creative director Amy Lazzara who has made this project come to life. The Dicks with Don web series has features Nasstoys in webisode one, Doc Johnson in webisode two and just released webisode three featuring Blush Novelties. Dicks with Don provides product knowledge and education in a less academic approach with the focus more about fun, enhancing pleasure, and getting some laughs.
