The September 2020 issue of ETO is available to read online now by clicking here and in it we drop in on a selection of London’s adult stores to find out how customers are responding to ‘the new normal’ – or at least what the new normal was last month, as it seems to be changing on a regular basis. Still on the subject of pandemics, we find out from Fleshlight global sales manager Miguel Capilla if lockdown did indeed lead to a surge in sales of its products, and we look ahead to the one industry event (that we know of) which is still taking place this year: Sx Tech 2020.
Elsewhere in the issue, Paul Smith meets Jamie O’Sullivan in the brand new Harmony store on London’s Oxford Street, Dale Bradford learns about the new Obii from Biird, Sarah Ryland explains how adult brands can flourish on social media, Colleen Godin chats with Sophie Saint Thomas about must-have pleasure toys, Violet Fenn discusses perceived value, Renee Denyer of Sh! explains how the business is reaching out to customers remotely, Kirsty Jennings shines the Spotlight on Evolved’s Tidal Wave, Topher Taylor talks about mollycoddling, our Mystery Shopper goes on a supermarket sweep, and our business correspondent Adam Bernstein is your guide to managing the end of furlough, how HMRC is combating coronavirus fraud, and a source of extremely cheap money.
