Lovehoney supports the Fifty Shades product line with free e-Learning available at Williams Trading University (WTU). WTU is available exclusively to existing and new Williams Trading Co. accounts. Online courses are available 24 hours/7 days per week accessed with a login account. Each course offers product benefits and features as well as a seminar that explains its importance to a customer, their needs and well-being.
