FOR YOUR LIFE'S WORK IN THE INDUSTRY

Nick_O_Sign_Award

Nick Orlandino

Nick Orlandino and Pipedream Products – an alliance that seems to be fused with success within the adult industry, and it is difficult to imagine where Pipedream would be today without him. He joined the company in 1992 and made his mark right from the get-go, to steer them towards success. After a good twenty years he is now a shareholder and runs the everyday affairs of Pipedream Products. He has created countless products that instantly became bestsellers. Nick Orlandino hasn’t yet reached his zenith and is sure to be the talk of the industry time and again, but we have decided to commend him on his unequalled efforts for the industry. That is why he will receive the FOR YOUR LIFE’S WORK IN THE INDUSTRY-AWARD from SIGN.

BEST ADULT PLEASURE PRODUCTS BRAND 2013

Award_RocksOff

Rocks Off

With Rocks Off it all started with the “Rock Chick”, which reaches high sales figures even today. Since then they have added a number of diverse products for men, for women and they all have one thing in common: they offer huge amounts of enjoyment. This news has spread and resulted in products such as the ”RO 80 mm 7 Speed Bullet“ selling millions of times. With every product one introduces to the market, one would like to set new impulses and remain innovative. Apart from design and functionality, the goods from Rocks Off also stand out because of their quality and reasonable prices. This was reason for us to present Rocks Off with the award for BEST ADULT PLEASURE PRODUCTS BRAND 2013.

REVIEWER’S CHOICE AWARD FOR BEST PRODUCTS 2013

Award_CalEx

California Exotic Novelties

Products from California Exotic Novelties have that something special. It may have to do with the fact that, according to the Californian based company, they are inspired by fashion, or it could just be the diverse knowledge they already have of how to create adult toys that sets them a class above the norm to optimally satisfy customer needs. It was not only our product reviews, in which we looked at individual products from the Californian based manufacturer, which convinced us that product lines such as Posh, Body& Soul, Embrace, Entice and Scandal combine high quality, technical refinement and wonderful design. Finally it wasn’t that difficult to decide to present California Exotic Novelties with the REVIEWER’S CHOICE AWARD FOR BEST PRODUCTS 2013.

BEST EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTOR 2013

Award_Tonga

Tonga

Recently a sale at the Netherlands based wholesaler Tonga, resulted in plenty of space for new products. The time has arrived to launch the biannual main catalogue. Some products have already been introduced during the last few months and other will follow with the catalogue. All in all it includes about 3000 articles so the diversity speaks for itself, which is also an important factor in the success of the wholesaler. On top of this they add their clever intuition for choosing products and their own range of brands, such as Dream Toys, JOJO and REE, not to mention the effective and unique customer support. This and much more makes Tonga for us the deserved winner in the category of BEST EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTOR 2013.

BEST MARKETING CAMPAIGN 2013

Award_Shots

Shots Media

Marketing is the key to the success of a product. Matching product packaging and a appealing presentation at exhibitions, advertising measures and cooperation with retailers for product presentation in shops, are all important building blocks within a comprehensive marketing concept. This has been done excellently by the Shots Media 2013. So it is not without good reason that one is very familiar with the large range of products that Shots offer, as well as their individual brands such as Shots Toys, Pharmquest, Ouch or the most recent of their additions Doc Johnson, Magic Silk and Shots Fashion. As far as we are concerned, with their thoroughly convincing marketing concept, Shots Media is the clear winner of the award for BEST MARKETING CAMPAIGN 2013.

BEST PRODUCT PACKAGING 2013

Award_Jopen

Jopen

Packaging can be a deciding factor for the success of a product. This is something that the American toy manufacturer JOPEN is well aware of, which is why they make sure they present their beautifully shaped, high quality pleasure providers in packaging that reflects the unique quality. The extensive creativity of the American company can be seen in the packaging of the reasonably priced Key line of products. They are a real eye-catcher with their bright friendly colours and cheeky slogans such as “Hello Gorgeous” and “Lift off in 3, 2, 1…”, which provide the brand with a lively and trendy identity. The packaging makes the Jopen products a real eye-catcher on the shelves, which is definitely worth the award for BEST PRODUCT PACKAGING.
