Spotlight On: Sportsheets shows you can never have too much of a good thing!

New additions to their already successful Saffron line and brand new Special Edition Collection boast products that stress inclusivity.

When Sportsheets debuted its Saffron collection, it was with the intent of providing pleasure products to a customer base yearning for superior quality. Not surprisingly, with a 25-year track record of creating innovative and high-quality products, Sportsheets delivered.

The Saffron collection was so popular that consumers wanted more — much more! To that end, Sportsheets has now unveiled new additions to its Saffron collection and released the new “Special Edition” line to satiate its thousands of faithful — and new — customers.

“Saffron has performed very well for our clients, so expanding the line to include more of our tried-and-true best sellers was a no-brainer,” says Karina Figueroa, Sportsheets’ Vice President of Products. “With Special Edition items, we listened to customer feedback and revamped a selection of products to accommodate a wider range of bodies, increase pleasure, and offer new ways to play.”

Figueroa says the new products — the result of two years’ worth of work — embody the company’s foundation of inclusivity. “We strive to be the most inclusive company in this industry; therefore, all of these soon-to-be-released products will continue to support this ideology,” adds Figueroa.

STOREROTICA spoke with Figueroa to find out more about these new product innovations.

SE: It may be impossible to pick one, but what do you expect to be the highlights among the newest releases for Saffron and Special Edition?

FIGUEROA: That’s such a hard choice! Of course we love all the new releases! Since the Saffron acrylic paddles offer a unique visual experience, they have been getting a lot of buzz. The Under the Bed Restraint Set has always been a top seller and the Special Edition version will probably be no different, especially with the added versatility and stylish gold hardware.

We wanted to provide meaningful uplifts to the selection of products to expand on diversity and comfort. — Karina Figueroa

SE: When you were revamping the Special Edition line, how did you balance the line between revamp and not departing too far from what customers loved with the line?

FIGUEROA: We wanted to provide meaningful uplifts to the selection of products to expand on diversity and comfort. That’s why we kept the original product offerings as well, so customers who love the original products can still purchase them and those looking for added versatility and functionality can find that in Special Edition.

SE: Can you talk about how these new releases encourage play time/sexual exploration to the widest number of possible consumers?

FIGUEROA: With all Sportsheets products and especially with Special Edition, it’s all about facilitating pleasure and making it accessible to all. The adjustability of the New Comers Strap on and Door Jam Sex Sling can accommodate a wider range of bodies making pleasure accessible to more people. The Door Jam Sex Sling offers multiple sexual positioning options for standing, sitting, and tilting, great for people with mobility issues. Saffron offers customers great quality at an accessible price point so anyone who wants to explore bondage play can.

SE: What kind of merchandising support can retailers expect to accompany these new products?

FIGUEROA: Retailers can expect new lifestyle, product and packaging images as well as banners, videos, GIFs and a digital catalog are available through our partner portal, Sportsheets Reseller Support (sportsheetsb2b.com/srs). Retailers can also request one-on-one product trainings with the Sportsheets sales team.
