Adult DVD Empire, three-time winner of the AVN Award for Best Retail Website, broke existing sales records in December 2005 by selling more Vivid DVDs in a one-month period than any other studio in its eight-year history. A Vivid promotion of “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” deals on feature and compilation DVDs proved to be a success for both Adult DVD Empire and Vivid Entertainment.
Howard Levine, national sales manager for Vivid commented, “Adult DVD Empire has established itself as one of the best online retail sites around. Their service and the sales they run seem to set themselves apart from other sites - their arm reach is massive.”
He added, “Vivid has never worked with anyone before on a promotion of this kind, and we were quite impressed with the results and are already making plans to do it again in the future.”
Mike Barry, director of adult operations for Adult DVD Empire, agreed.
“We wrapped up our best year to date with the largest, most successful studio promotion that we've ever run," he said. "Vivid’s brand name and talent pool coupled with our 'Buy 1 Get 1' offer was a grand slam.”
