Adrien Lastic to Host New Series of Retail Training Workshops

Adrien Lastic to Host New Series of Retail Training Workshops

BARCELONA — Pleasure products brand Adrien Lastic will host a series of immersive training workshops throughout the U.S. and Canada through late summer.

The program includes Q&A-styled product training and a sexual wellness education session, a creative marketing toolkit and visual merchandising installation for Adrien Lastic's Alive, Femintimate and SilexD products.

Workshops will be led by Jackie Richerson, VP of operations and sales, and Johanna Weston, the director of North American sales to "amplify customer support for distribution partners East Coast News and Williams Trading," the rep added.

Richerson and Weston emphasized the value of investing educational resources and quality time with employees who are representing Adrien Lastic at the ground level.

"That connection with store staff directly is one of the biggest benefits for us, specifically getting to know the people and teams who are selling our toys every day," Weston said. "Receiving insights from a consumer-facing POV informs our selling techniques, as well as our product manufacturing efforts. By returning our combined expertise in adult retail to store teams, we hope to enrich sales and product knowledge not only for Adrien Lastic products, but for the sexual wellness market as a whole."

Additional incentives include free wall sets, digital graphics, SPIFF programs, merchandise display contests, social media cross-promotions and a product tester program, providing one floor tester unit with the purchase of any four SKUs. Custom-tailored planogram displays are available for all stores.

“We are proactively equipping our retailers with more robust education and resources, which will directly impact their growth, as well as ours," Richerson said. "We walk into the store ready to support every member of the team, and we walk away befriending new people as a result. Nurturing these relationships is what counts most in the long run.”

Weston says she believes that "relatability is key."

"We allow our quirky personalities to shine through whenever we can," she said. "When it is appropriate, we like to use playful humor to help break down barriers and make people feel more comfortable discussing the sensitive nature of our business."

U.S. and Canadian retailers may schedule a retail training workshop or request digital assets by contacting their preferred sales rep.

In related news, Richerson and Weston will be in attendance at XBIZ Miami, May 16-19. To schedule a meeting, contact jricherson@cnexusa.com or jweston@cnexusa.com.
