Congratulations to the two winners of our raffle. There was a record number of registrations at the pjur stand this year, and therefore the lottery wheel was brimful on both days.
It has become a tradition that pjur raffles off two iPad’s at the eroFame trade convention. Several hundred participants seized the opportunity to register, and at 18:00 on Wednesday and Thursday, they flocked to the pjur stand with their ticket number. After all, the winner had to be at the stand in person, and with his ticket, to get the new iPad 3 Wi-Fi+4G/16GB.
There was great excitement when the winners were announced, especially on the second day, when a second number had to be drawn because the original winner didn’t step to the fore in time. But, just like last year, a great many of the 3,200 participants of the trade show had gathered at the pjur stand, so a new winner was found quickly.
This year, Dame Fortune smiled upon two members of the California Exotic Novelties team. Our lady luck drew the numbers of Lupe Martinez and Austin Ferdinand.
CONGRATULATIONS on winning your new iPad!
We would like to thank everybody for participating in such great numbers. It has become hard to imagine eroFame without this GET TOGETHER at the registration and the raffle at the pjur stand, and it is a fun during the event. Therefore, chances are that we will continue with our sweepstakes next year. That said, pjur also raffles off prizes outside eroFame, so it pays off to visit us. The next raffle is already in the pipeline!
In the middle of the hall everybody found the big “Shots House”. Beautiful designed with banners and TV’s on the outside and cozy from the inside. Shots displayed a big assortment on the fair (over 500 new and existing products). That was also the reason of success for Shots, “when you combine a nice environment for customers to sit down and have a chat and a drink together with a clear product display, customers feels relax and can compare products very good. You cannot sell products anymore without any samples; the quality/colors and variety is necessary for the customers in their decision making process.”
The Shots Team won three award on the Show. Off course one for their worldwide well-known Shots Media Party in the category “Best Industry Event”. The creative in-house designed brand S-line won an award for “Best Product Line Category Gifts & Gadgets”. And last but not least Evolved Novelties won the award “Best Product Line, Category Love Toys”.
The big successes for Shots this year are booked on their brand Ouch! The new line of luxury whips/crops and paddles together with the new assortment handcuffs. “We try to make a difference in designing toys, it is always very nice to see a good result after so many months working on launching such a big release as we did now”. Shots want to thank everybody for visiting their stand. For more information: www.shotsmedia.com / +31 (0)487519333 / info@shotsmedia.nl or contact your account manager.

Shots Media breaks internal record after record. Each month they are expanding and growing as they never did before. The result: a big, fat, new and exciting catalogue. The biggest catalogue they released in the company history. “It was hard work for everybody, but very proud at the result”, Oscar Heijnen, owner from Shots Media explains.
At the eroFame (3rd -5th October in Hanover) Shots Media will present more than 150 new toys. In that new release you will find a variety of: improved toys/ new Pharmaceutical products/ innovative toy solutions and many more. The biggest release of Shots will be a broadening of the brand Ouch! (the popular fetish/bondage assortment from Shots). The reason for the expanding of this brand comes from the feedback of customers. Hein Schouten (account manager UK Shots Media) explains, ”Customers are asking for more Ouch variety, they experienced the success of the brand and wanted to have more. It is a combination of good quality for a good price.” The Ouch! range will offer products in all different price ranges. From cheap handcuffs displayed in a innovative packaging up to high end whips and slave collars in packaging you never seen before.
The most popular brand from Shots is their own brand Shots Toys. “It seems that it doesn’t matter what kind of Toy we design for Shots Toys, it is always a success”, Oscar explains. In the new release on the eroFame they will present new Geisha Balls/ new remote control eggs/ improved Twizzle Triggers and many others. Shots Media will also expand their number 1 brand with an innovative vibrator/ brilliant designed cockrings/rechargeable eggs, Bullets and many more. The most exciting new product of the Shots Toys line has to be the 10-speed remote control G-Spot Egg that is available in 5 colors and 3 sizes. A lot of other new toys will be showed at the Erofame. You can see them all in stand 43.
Shots was already busy for more than a year with their new project “Pharmquests”. This part of the company gives solutions for all matters in pharmaceutical products. The business is growing for Shots. They take care of private labeling projects all over the world on Lubricants/ Pills/ etc. At the eroFame they will show a new assortment of lubes, pills and creams. For the erotic industry as well as for the mainstream.
The brand Touché already had a facelift last year when Shots switched from a black package to a white one. This helped the brand a lot. It is becoming more fresh/clean and elegant. Toys available in all different colors will give the stores a bright look on the wall. Also Touché contains a big new release of their high end products. Touché will come out with a complete line of lubes, creams and oils, packed in a beautiful and elegant bottle from brushed metal and full foil packaging.
Last but not least; the brand S-Line. The creative brand that keeps surprising the industry. This year they come out with new funny boxers specially designed for women. Also the beasty toys family will get two new brothers: the bad bull and the barbaric bulldog. More funny but serious love rings. So a big new assortment, all bundled in a new catalogue.
