HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—In spite of the struggling economy, Sportsheets International posted record sales in February.

Sportsheets recognized several factors in achieving the highest sales month in its 15-year history, including a positive quality-to-value ratio, strong brand awareness and the continued success of its latest brand, Sex In The Shower.

“It is quite the testament to our high-quality, domestically manufactured Sportsheets products that even in these tough economic times consumers looked beyond the so-called low price leaders and chose the value of quality and innovation,” said Sportsheets President Tom Stewart.

Since the January release of six new items in the hotter-than-ever Sex In The Shower range, weekly sellouts of Dual Suction Handles, Vibrating Foam Sea Sponges, 100ml Silicone Lubricant and Vibrating Massage Soap have been reported by retailers across the country.

“It is exhilarating to see the continual and ever-increasing demand for Sex In The Shower products” said Todd Carter, Sportsheets’ marketing director. “One-third of this range yields results that rival the Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraint System and I Like It Doggie Style Strap.”

LOS ANGELES—The Screaming O has teamed up with A! Entertainment emcee Tony Batman and showgirl Schevelle to produce interactive stage shows featuring exotic entertainment and the infamous Screaming O contest.

From college campuses to worldwide expo centers, Screaming O events have been a hit, and each event has been customized to fit the location. Now, The Screaming O is reaching out to venues across the country with an offer to provide their customers with an official branded event.

“The Screaming O contests have garnered a lot of attention in the last few years and are a great way to get attendees loosened up and in the mood for fun,” The Screaming O partner Keith Caggiano said. “Now we’ve made it possible for adult clubs, stores and even college sex-ed events to bring the energy and excitement directly to their doors.”

Screaming O giveaways and contests have been crowd pleasers at major adult venues in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Denver, Toronto, Las Vegas and even Australia. The contest recently has made its way around bars, nightclubs, gentlemen’s clubs, college events and spring break hangouts, and even was featured on the Oxygen channel's top-rated The Bad Girls Club.

Hosts Tony Batman and Schevelle not only keep the energy at a high pitch during the shows but also handle pre-show marketing and promotions, to get everyone in the know months in advance. Packages include ad slicks, press releases, props and printed promo materials, as well as contestant gifts, prizes and swag to keep customers coming back for more.

“When a club or store hosts the Screaming O show, they get a unique, sexy event that puts the business at the forefront of progression within the industry,” Batman said.

Déjà Vu is the first strip club to offer this event, scheduled March 5 and 6 at 9:30 p.m. The club is located at 6805 Adama Drive in Tampa, Fla. For more information, call (813) 664-8784.

“I am excited about this event because this happens to be an all-nude club, so I can get totally naked, which is something I never pass up a chance to do,” Schevelle said. An award-winning feature entertainer and showgirl, Schevelle is a two-time nominee for Entertainer of the Year by Exotic Dancer Magazine. Tony Batman is the award-winning emcee of the adult industry’s A! Entertainment News and veteran emcee for the Hustler/Déjà Vu club chain.

The Screaming O has received many accolades for its high-quality production standards, innovative design and honorable business practices. The Screaming O’s flagship product, the Screaming O Vibrating Ring, was named “Best Product of 2008” by Women's Health magazine. Additionally, the Big O vibrating erection band was named “Top Pick” by renowned sex educator Dr. Sue Johanson, host of the Oxygen network's popular Talk Sex With Sue.
