WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Wellington-based adult toy online retailer AdultToyMegastore.co.nz was announced as a finalist in three categories, including the People’s Choice Award, for the Retail NZ Top Shop Awards.
According to the company, a total of 600 New Zealand businesses applied for the Retail NZ Top Shop Awards this year, of which 200 were shortlisted.
Ten finalists for each of the 11 categories are announced at regional events and AdultToyMegastore was the only adult retailer shortlisted from Wellington.
Greg Harford, Retail NZ public affairs general manager, says the Top Shop Awards are not about what you sell, but how you retail.
"In 2017, the Awards have been revamped to focus on what retailers do, rather than what they sell,” he said. “The 11 prestigious new Awards focus on the overall customer experience, investment and people, visual merchandising and innovation.
“The Awards are about celebrating all that's good about the retail sector in New Zealand, at both a regional and national level.”
Adulttoymegastore marketing executive Emma Hewitt says becoming a finalist is a testament to the high caliber of service provided by the online retailer, and also works towards dispelling stigma around sex toys in New Zealand.
“We were announced as finalists for the Innovation Award, the Pureplay Etailer Award, and the People’s Choice Award which is such an amazing outcome — it’s a real credit to the outstanding work the team at AdultToyMegastore does,” she said.
AdultToyMegastore is a Wellington-based online adult toy and lingerie retailer that started in 2009 and operates in New Zealand and Australia.
