WELLINGTON, New Zealand — AdultToyMegastore.co.nz is reporting booming sales in the lead-up to the holiday season.
AdultToyMegastore head of customer satisfaction Sophie McGrath says it shows adult toys are well and truly mainstream now.
“We expected a big Christmas rush but we’ve been blown away. I don’t think anything else could prove just how much New Zealanders love their sex toys than how busy we have been,” McGrath said. “People want a gift that keeps on giving, so an adult toy is the perfect Christmas present.”
AdultToyMegastore also says its Naughty and Nice Advent Calendar sold out on pre-orders well before Christmas and Satisfyer Pro 2.0s have been the most popular gifts this year.
“The Satisfyer Pro 2.0 has been huge all year and just when we think it can’t get any bigger — we have another huge day of sales,” McGrath said.
This year AdultToyMegastore began selling luxury brand ZALO.
“Contrary to what some might think, adult toys are wildly popular with women and ZALO caters to that market with beautiful and elegant toys,” McGrath said. “The award-winning ZALO toys offer functions you’d never have even imagined a few years ago. Things like pre-heating to bring your toy to the ideal body temperature before use and Bluetooth connectivity allowing your toy to be controlled by the touch of your smartphone screen. They’re innovative and offering never before seen features.”
Couple toys are also hugely popular this year, McGrath added.
“New Zealanders can’t get enough of couple toys. A lot of folks are telling us they’re going online together and buying couple toys,” she said. “Since Afterpay partnered with us this year, along with Laybuy, we’ve seen a lot of couples creating ATMS wishlists and instead of buying just one or two things, they’re getting the whole list. We can see these sales in real time and it’s nice to know somebody is going to have a great Christmas.”
AdultToyMegastore is currently hosting Christmas giveaways, including the chance to win a year’s supply of sex toys. Scratch cards around the website give customers the chance to win a huge range of toys.
