"The appearance of Fifty Shades of Grey — The Official Pleasure Collection on a mainstream TV show like ‘Access Hollywood’ proves that this brand is unique in its ability to deliver incredible sales and promotion opportunities," said Lovehoney Sales Director Michelle Marcus, who featured in the segment. "The publicity machine is just getting into gear — we want to generate massive demand for the range so all our distributors and retailers can benefit."

In the “Access Hollywood” segment featuring Fifty Shades Of Grey Official Pleasure Collection, Marcus — introduced on the show as a professional “sex educator” — presented samples of the collection to the live show’s guests and hosts, Billy Bush and Kit Hoover.
Beginning with the question: “Who’s read the Fifty Shades of Grey?,” all three ladies on the couch then raise their hands and even Kit admits to reading the complete three book series. Michelle Marcus presented a number of bondage items from the collection, starting with the Please Sir Flogger, demonstrating with some “light testing” on Kit. Billy asks, “Is this better than the bare hand?” “It is,” Marcus says.
“The Fifty Shades phenomenon presents itself as a teaching and learning opportunity with mainstream appeal,” the company says. “’Access Hollywood’ was a wonderful opportunity to show off the products in a lighthearted daytime TV atmosphere.”
