Stockroom.com has been primarily an e-commerce company since 1990, when its 21-year-old founder began using his college email account to interface with a still-somewhat-underground community called known as "the Internet" via an assortment of old-school channels such as Usenet groups and FTP sites. By the mid '90s, the company had established an interactive online catalog on the new world wide web at a time when few companies of its size had cleared that technical hurdle.
The 40-person Los-Angeles-based company is breaking new ground in its industry again with the launch of a new interactive website. The re-designed site includes KinkWire – an alternative sexuality forum featuring sex-celebrity moderators – live-chat customer service, and an affiliate program. There are also free eCards, wishlists, and screensavers featuring fine-art photography from the Stockroom catalog. KinkWire participants include authors and sex educators Midori and Violet Blue, Fetish Model Kumi, photographer Steve Diet Goedde, and the Stockroom's own "Kinkspondent & Cunning Linguist," Lucky Lana.
"We believe these advances will continue to strengthen our online community, complimenting our collection of high quality products, our superior customer service and our well-written, informative catalogs," Joel Tucker, the company's founder and president, said. "The new site not only facilitates a better, faster and more aesthetically-pleasing shopping experience, but also helps to build and give back to the communities that have given us so much support over the last 18 years."
