“I’ve been in the industry for a lot longer than STOREROTICA has been around, and so it’s very clear to me how much good SE has done for everybody in the sex- toy market.

“STOREROTICA plays such an important role in creating a community far and wide in the adult industry. I still remember attending my first SE Awards show in Burbank and sitting next to a retail store owner who shared that she made most of her product selections from reading issues of SE mag. That really hit home for me how key STOREROTICA is a credible resource for the adult industry’s business news across the space.”
— Phoebe Grott, Nalpac Director of Marketing and Strategic Partnership
“STOREROTICA has become a go-to place for industry news over the past 15 years. I have enjoyed the integration of the STOREROTICA Awards during the Summer ANME show; they always put on a fantastic show. STOREROTICA has done a great job of bringing us all together, and I can’t wait to see how they evolve in the coming years. Congratulations to the entire STOREROTICA team on all of their hard work and on continuing to put out a great magazine every other month!”
— Elliot Schwartz, President, Nasstoys

“We’ve been proudly advertising with STOREROTICA since the beginning of the publication. It has been a rewarding relationship and we’ve had the pleasure to celebrate our own milestones with the STOREROTICA team. In fact, when We-Vibe was emerging on the market with the first c-shape vibrator, the team assisted with the lifestyle shot that was used on their April 2009 cover. We also celebrated We-Vibe’s 10th anniversary with a special feature and exclusive cover. Thank you to STOREROTICA for being a part of our success, and congratulations on your 15th anniversary!”
— Stephanie Keating, Director of Sales and Marketing, Americas, WOW Tech
“STOREROTICA was born shortly before I moved my career from Nalpac to Holiday Products in 2009. At Holiday, we were just beginning to find our footing as a major distributor, and we utilized STOREROTICA to help get the word out. Fast forward from our humble beginnings together in 2009 to now, and I am happy to say that our relevance, growth, and partnership is stronger than ever. Kris Kay and his team have always worked hand-in-glove with Veronica and her team to make an impact and utilize all that STOREROTICA has to offer. They have always been a pleasure to work with, innovative and supportive in our endeavors. Congratulations on 15 successful years and beyond!”
— Ken Sahn, President, Holiday Products
