Shots Looks Back on Achievements in 2016

AMSTERDAM — Shots is looking back on 2016, remembering achievements that included new hires and the addition of brands and products.

2016, Shots said, got off to an eventful start when, in January, it won Best New Pleasure Company of the Year in the 2016 XBIZ Awards. Products from Sono, RealRock and Vive were shipped out earlier this year, and six new brands were introduced: Il, Hiky, Retro, Mjuze, Mjuze and Tarzan.

Account manager Ralf Albers celebrated his 15th year with Shots, while another account manager, Hein Schouten, celebrated his fifth. And additons to the company included Joost Hence as business development manager for Shots Europe, Joey Teodoro as sales executive for Canada and the eastern United States, and Jason Miller as sales executive for the western U.S.

“Shots is, of course, known worldwide when it comes to organizing great parties for (its) clients, and 2016 has been no exception,” a company representative said. “It already started in March with the annual Shots International Poker Tournament, causing some thrilling moments in our Dutch headquarters."

Shots also organized its Shots Party at the end of its in-house sales week.

“We hope that your year has been just as good or even better than ours, and that you have accomplished a lot of goals you set for yourself,” Shots said. “We would like to wish everybody Happy Holidays and hope to see you again in 2017.”
