Storerotica, scheduled Aug. 27-29, is produced by Adult Store Buyer (ASB) and Teeze magazines, and publishers John Cornetta and Don Waitt said they expect their show to be a huge success. With the support of major companies like Vivid and Club Jenna, Cornetta said, the show will be an important opportunity for retailers to network directly with store buyers.
Joining title sponsors Club Jenna and Vivid Video on the exhibition floor will be Anabolic Video, Digital Playground, Shane's World Studios, Wicked Pictures and Zero Tolerance, among others.
PipeDream, East Coast News, The Screaming O and Pulse Products are among the slew of adult product manufacturers available for business on the Storerotica show floor.
Intimate apparel companies such as Allure Leather, Hustler Lingerie, Penthouse Shoes and Rene Rofe also will be showing off their latest collections at the trade show.
“These are the types of exhibitors that storeowners simply will not see at other industry conventions," Cornetta said, "so they need to be sure to take advantage of this golden opportunity to improve their business.”
Cornetta said that more than 70 percent of the companies exhibiting at Storerotica are part of its Preferred Vendors Program, which allows them to offer storeowners a 7 percent discount off all orders placed during the show.
Storerotica also will showcase several educational seminars for storeowners interested in ways to expand their retail businesses.
“The ideas and information that storeowners will take away from the Storerotica panel sessions, seminars and workshops is immeasurable,” Teeze Associate Publisher Dave Manack said. “There are Gentlemen’s Club Owners Expo attendees who come to the convention every year strictly for the educational aspect. In the years to come, we expect Storerotica attendees to do the same.”
Though the Storerotica show is sold out for exhibitors, Cornett said attendance is free for storeowners and industry professionals.
Registration packages for nonindustry members also is available, which will allow attendees access to the three days of panel discussions and workshops, business breakfasts and the Gentlemen's Club Owners Expo, which will be held across the hall from Storerotica.
Other Storerotica sponsors include HotMovies.com, Hellhouse Media, Rockman Entertainment, XBIZ Publications, Shane’s World Studios, Penthouse Nightclub & Cabaret and Sapphire Las Vegas.
