PHILADELPHIA—The Exxxotica Expo was recently profiled on NJ.com, one of the Garden State’s most trafficked websites, as well as a feature story in the print edition of the Star-Ledger’s Inside Jersey magazine. The detailed special report comes months after the 2010 show in Edison, N.J. This article is the most recent example of how Exxxotica generates year-round mainstream exposure for its numerous exhibitors. To read the full story, go to: http://bit.ly/ePEd9w. According to the feature story, Exxxotica vendors saw their sales receipts rise 20 percent from the previous year’s show. The article reported on attending companies like Entice Adult Superstore (Rome, Ga.), LA Direct Models, Skin Industries, Hedonism Resorts and exhibiting adult star Kelly Divine. The NJ.com account also mentions the 20,000 ticket holders attending “The Sexiest Show on Earth” who purchased everything from DVDs and sex toys to enhancement products and vacation packages. “We have two priorities in holding our expos: provide ticket buyers with the sexiest event they’ve ever experienced and ensure our vendors receive the most exposure and retail success possible,” said J. Handy, director of Victory Tradeshow Management, producers of Exxxotica. “Exxxotica celebrates all avenues of ‘sexy,’ which requires a diverse list of exhibitors. Providing maximum media visibility is how we continually attract a strong list of companies and products, which translates into more consumers and fans.” The NJ.com article quotes Charles Craton, owner of Entice Adult Superstore and a longtime Exxxotica exhibitor, as saying, “This location in Edison has turned out to be the best for an adult fan show. There is a great interest up here in this area, so you have a great turnout. … Look at all these people.” The article details, “Novelties range from sex toys—dildos and vibrators of all sizes and colors—to sex swings. Skimpy bikinis in iridescent greens and pinks are displayed next to sky-high stilettos marketed to exotic dancers. Handcuffs for the bedroom or a whip, possibly to accessorize that new corset, retail for less than $40.” Exxxotica events have also received coverage from top media outlets like USAToday.com, TMZ, G4 TV, CNN, the Miami Herald, CNBC, Fox TV’s Good Day New York, MyFoxNY.com, NewJerseyNewsRoom.com, MSNBC, Associated Press, WPVI ABC 6, The Howard Stern Show, Examiner.com, UPI.com, and many more. Additional vendors receiving exposure include HotMovies.com, Clips4Sale.com, MyFreeCams.com, Bluebird Films, Jules Jordan Video, Bang Bros, Sex App Shop, Fang Ling Lee, viaXtreme, Adam & Eve, Vivid Entertainment, Wicked Pictures, Digital Playground, Burning Angel, O So Tasty, O So Sweet, ExtenZe, Screaming O, OMG Lubricant and more.
