We remodeled our booth to give it a contemporary look to showcase our latest products and collections. Thank you again to Scala for hosting this spectacular event!”

Angela Mustone, International Business Development Manager, explains, “The Super Model was a show-stopper with her 100-percent fully molded, lifelike face and gorgeous blond hair. Everyone thought the inner inflation, which allows the user to control the firmness when they first set her up, was an incredible feature. Plus, the fact that every product in the Vivid Raw Collection is backed with an amazing one-year warranty, was very impressive to everyone!”
Another exciting new collection unveiled was Impress.
The line features state-of-the art technology with pressure- sensitive pads that increase the speed of the vibration; the harder the user squeezes, the more intense the vibration. Roxana Forenza, International Account Executive, says, “People loved pressing the pads on the Impress products! Once you give them a squeeze, it’s hard to stop. The European market can’t wait for these, and the other exciting products which will be available soon.”California Exotic Novelties also presented many other popular ranges at the Scala Fair, including: Packer Gear, Passion Pals, and the Aluminum Heat Wave collections, plus new products from Apollo, COLT Gear and Scandal, as well as favorites like Body & Soul, First Time, Dr. Joel Kaplan, Love Rider, and many others.

08.09.2014 | Wasserbillig, Luxembourg / Hong Kong, China – pjur generated a major buzz with its new pjur serums at the Asia Adult Expo (AAE) in Hong Kong. Jordan Weiser, Sales Director pjur Asia, and pjur Partner Evan Sho, from Hong Kong, were pleased to report that the booth drew a huge crowd, and had many productive meetings with customers.
Brand new and optimized pjur tester stations
gave enthusiastic industry insiders a chance to try out the new products for themselves – with tremendous success: “The pjur serums generated an overwhelmingly positive response, especially the delay products, such as the new pjur superhero Serum. Products from the superhero line fascinated visitors as well,” Jordan explains. “Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction are a hot topic in Asia, and many customers are specifically looking for products that are more natural rather than pharmaceuticals.” Because the new serums take effect within just seconds, they are perfect for testing – and they won audiences over at the AAE right away.The pjur Slat Wall Displays, making their debut in Asia, were another of the highlights at the booth. They are quick to set up, attract attention in the store, and can be combined with each other in any number of ways. “Customers were so intrigued that we were talking or giving a product presentation to visitors almost nonstop,” Jordan says. Well over 70 customers from China, Japan, Singapore, and the Philippines showed an interest in working with the company, and the booth even logged visitors from Brazil, Australia, Russia, and France, who also wanted to see pjur’s quality and German craftsmanship for themselves.
“We are very pleased about
this success and the outstanding pjur booth that attracted so many guests. Our appearance at this fair and the promising discussions we had there with retailers who are interested in us and our products are an important step in our push to make pjur available in every country,” says Alexander Giebel, CEO and founder of the pjur group.To learn more about pjur, visit www.pjur.com.
24.07.2014 | Wasserbillig, Luxembourg – The pjur group registers record sales thanks to innovative new products. pjur has returned from a highly successful ANME Founders Show in Los Angeles. Marketing the new slat wall display, the cardboard display and the additive-free pjur Woman Nude attracted numerous customers to the pjur booth, allowing the brand to achieve record sales at the show. CEO Alexander Giebel and Ralph Ehses, Head of Global Sales and Business Development, both came from Luxemburg in order to support Richie Harris and the pjur USA team.
Visitors were especially enthusiastic about the presentation of the new slat wall display: its flexibility and compactness offer retailers the possibility of arranging pjur products according to topic in their stores. The display can be filled with any combination of products, along with the respective articles for gays, women, or fetish practices. The shop owner can decide where and how to organize the pjur products on the display.
This approach will allows the pjur group to place the emphasis on small and adaptable tools instead of fixed, oversized display walls. The new pjur cardboard display, which can be set up in just a few seconds, is pursuing the same concept: made of high-quality laminated cardboard, they can be presented just about anywhere – on the shelf or on the counter. Visitors to the show were also especially pleased to see the different variants of the med line display, as well as the elements of love series, and pjur gay products.Last but not least, pjur presented the American market its product for the health conscious and aware woman: pjur Woman Nude, the lubricant that contains no preservatives, glycerin, or paraben. This top seller attracted a great deal of interest because it maintains its lubricating effect for an extremely long time without the need for additives.
With the introduction of these innovations and numerous personal appointments made in advance, the pjur booth was extremely well-visited during the entire course of the show. Richie Harris, CEO of pjur group USA, says: “If the show gets shortened to two days, it would be tragic for us, since we would no longer be able to accommodate the customer demand for meetings. We aren’t the only ones who feel that the ANME show is one of the most important b2b trade fairs in America and we genuinely appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the event.”
In addition to the new products and displays presented at the booth, the visitors were also delighted by the pjur swags such as iPhone Calculators, pjur post-it books, T-shirts and even thumb drives. For more information about pjur, please visit www.pjur.com.
