Shots Named 'Foreign Manufacturer of the Year' at StorErotica Awards

BURBANK — Shots was named Foreign Manufacturer of the Year at StorErotica Magazine’s 2016 StorErotica Awards, which were held on Mon., Jul. 18 in Burbank, Calif. during the ANME Founders Show. 

Shots said, “To be nominated for this award was already amazing, but we never dared to dream of winning it. Again, our loyal customers, fans and friends proved their love for our products, and we have to thank them for this milestone from the bottom of our hearts. With their unconditional support and loyalty, we have managed to receive these nominations.”

Shots were nominated in four other categories as well in the 2016 StorErotica Awards, which a spokesperson described as an “amazing honor.”

“We would like to say ‘thank you’ to the organization of the ANME Founders Show for hosting a fantastic fair again this year — and last but certainly not least, StorErotica for the incredible award show they organize every year,” a Shots representative said.  

Earlier this year, Shots America won the award for Best New Pleasure Company of the Year at the 2016 XBIZ Awards. Between the XBIZ win and the StorErotica win, Shots has won two awards from the U.S. market within one year — which a spokesperson described as “a promising fact stating that the future looks very bright for the ever expanding Shots Emporium.”

This week’s ANME Founders Show marked the first time Shots had attended an ANME event. At ANME, Shots featured their brands Shots Toys, SONO, BOOM, Ouch! and RealRock as well as their new brand GC.
