Storerotica Awards Nominations Announced
Winners Honored in August
STOREROTICA Magazine announces the nominees for the 4th Annual STOREROTICA Awards
ED Publications, producers of STOREROTICA Magazine, the STOREROTICA Convention & Tradeshow and the Annual Gentlemen’s Club Owners EXPO, is pleased to announce its 4th Annual STOREROTICA Awards nominees.
The Annual STOREROTICA Awards will be presented on Tuesday, August 24th, from noon to 1 pm, during the 4th Annual STOREROTICA Convention at The Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The STOREROTICA Awards presentation will immediately follow STOREROTICA’s ‘Heads of State’ Roundtable Discussions, where convention attendees can sit down with 10 of the most influential personalities in the erotic retail industry.
The STOREROTICA Convention and Tradeshow will be held in conjunction with the 18th Annual Gentlemen’s Club Owners EXPO, from August 23-25, 2010. These conventions will feature a combined a 300-booth Tradeshow, industry panels and workshops and exclusive evening events.
“Whether they represent storefronts, distribution or manufacturing, the scope of the STOREROTICA Awards aims to recognize all of those businesses who consistently strive for excellence in erotic retail,” says STOREROTICA Magazine’s Editor, Kristofer Kay. “In such a complex industry, where innovation is being raised practically on a daily basis, nominating only a few companies is challenging. But we’re confident that the best of the best are represented on this year’s ballot.”
New to this year’s presentation is the inclusion of the STOREROTICA Special Focus Award. This trophy is given to a specific market segment that was spotlighted within the pages of the magazine throughout the past year. This year’s STOREROTICA Special Focus Award will center on male enhancement products.
The STOREROTICA Awards nominations were accepted online only at www.STOREROTICA.com for a three-week period in June. Based primarily on these votes, as well as input from the STOREROTICA staff, these awards nominees will appear on the Final Awards Ballot. The official 2010 STOREROTICA Awards Show ballot will be posted online only starting on July 7, 2010, at www.STOREROTICA.com To register to vote, visit the website and follow the appropriate links.
