The December/January issue of ETO is available to read online now by clicking here and there is more than a hint of the aroma of love in its pages: Mia More demonstrates that it’s not too early for retailers to be planning for Valentine’s Day while Paul Smith answers a question that’s never been asked – can you create a romantic meal from just rude food? In a companion piece to that, er, investigation, he speaks to Spencer and Fleetwood’s John Pritchard about the sector.
Also in this issue, we meet Chris Poole, director of a new name on the adult party games scene – PlayWivMe – which is bringing its first four unique products to market this month, and Kiiroo’s Maurice Op de Beek discusses the new Keon.
Just as we do every year, we take a look back at the year just gone and make predictions for the year ahead, and our business correspondents explain what Brexit will mean to those who sell their own branded products in the UK, why pre-pack sales of businesses are back on the government’s radar, and how you should choose the people who help you to run your business.
Our fabulous contributors include: Colleen Godin, who talks inclusive pleasure product brands with Kit Richardson; Violet Fenn, who believes 2020 has taught us what’s really important; M.Christian, who has strong opinions on app-controlled sex toys; Tracey Whitmore, who explains why adult retail should be considered essential by the government; and Topher Taylor, who brings us up to date on his podcasting career.
You want more? Our Mystery Shopper pits five branches of Simply Pleasure against each other, Kirsty Jennings gets the bullet – the Vibe Unisex Bullet, that is – and we close the issue with a roundup of the best of 2020’s Readers’ Lives.
