How many girls and gays guys are there here? [Archive]

Jace...your "target market" is really going to be everybody: women buying for themselves or other women; straight guys buying for women; couples buying for themselves; gay guys buying for themselves or other gay guys; gay couples buying for themselves. That doesn't leave out anybody, really.

A lot of women want toys but are either shy about purchasing, or so shy they can't even bring the subject up, which is why marketing to straight guys to buy gifts for their ladies will be very important. Unfortunately, we still live in a society where men know more about their sexuality and what they want then women do. A very nicely designed "couples site" might do very good business indeed.

oi vey

you all act as thought I haven't been doing this for 3 years now

all we have been doing for the past 3 years is promoting our product just as anyone would promote a sex toy...we are now branching out specifically to the gay market and female market

the majority of our sales are guys, so I know that guys buy dildos for girls....duh

i am just working different angles

instead of trying to teach me about business, which I already know, why not just answer my question?

sorry, didn't mean to sound like an asshole....but instead of answering or giving me a roll call, you all preach

as for advertising on oprano...we have quickly discovered that 98% of the people out there have NO clue how to sell a glass dildo...we have over 100 active affiliates sending traffic, and only 2 of them are making sales. glass dildos can't be sold the normal ways people sell other shit, and with normal traffic, we have tried.

i am rambling, i just woke up...sorry

Jace

07-13-2005, 03:44 PM

and btw, the whole thing about this thread was about giving away free dildos to the gay men and ladies on the board....not about sales

<crying>i just wanna give some shit away you all, and you all won't let me</crying>

no clue man...

from what I can tell, they are using tgp's and shitty traffic sites....

glass dildos are usually are sold to a clientle with a little more money than others...cause of the price

but to be honest, i have no clue

i gave up on trying to get affiliates, i am just out for sales now

hell, I make more sales from boards when people just buy shit from the site...hell, if you tell me you are going to buy something and you are an adult webmaster I will cut you a nice deal, but people don't care they buy shit anyway

Id imagine it was because they were targeting the 'regular' porn surfer instead of the high class porn surfers.

Things with a higher price tag usually need a lengthier sales approach to just using 'click here to buy glass dildos' LOL

There is a lot of pre-selling required, listing the benefits of a high ticket product over inferior priced products, quality, design, etc etc all need to be gone in to unless you have a solid source of traffic that IS looking for glass dildos or a sex store with existing traffic levels :)

To be fair, if you had any business sense you would be going after new affiliates that have existing traffic that you could utilize.

There are plenty of sponsors that have dildo related paysites, if you thought about those programs for a little while you may realize how they could be of benefit to you.

as for affiliates, i honestly could care less, between SE traffic and bought spots, we are doing fine without having to please some silly ass dude in his mom's basement that wants everything handed to him on a silver platter

and partnerhips....already done it man, not to mention upcoming partnerships with several large video companies' dildo related video releases. I am flying out to LA next month to meet with one of, if not the, largest distributor in the adult video industry to talk to them about using us exclusively, i am VERY excited about that

i will tell you this though, the 2 affiliates we do have, send good sales....and they are review sites, which is awesome. Those people know how to sell! We have 3 more review sites that just signed up too, and we have toys on the way to them...i guess that would fall into the "you would be going after new affiliates that have existing traffic that you could utilize." category though, cause we do pursue those to become new affiliates

anyway, we have more than enough going on to worry about gathering affiliates...if someone wants to sell our product and can prove they can do it, I will treat them like gold if they give it a chance, but most affiliates like you said have such horrible marketing skills, they think a simple little banner is gunna make them rich for niche products

Newton

07-14-2005, 06:13 AM

You are implying that the two affiliates you do have are there because they can sell, due to their sales and marketing ability, and not through you or your companies ability to market these effectively?

Ruling out the entire affiliate revenue source is a potential mistake, you should be giving them the desire, the motivation and the support to enable them to push these products to the fore. Not just bitching about them being in moms basement and unable to sell.

Why should I promote these ?

hmmm...

seems to me that if 100 active affiliates are "sending traffic" then they are doing their part. The affiliates job is to get the traffic to you. Once they are at your site, it is your job to sell the product.

Or am I missing something here ?

:huh:

I have to add an observation here from the side as well. A lot of program owners are fed up with the greedy affiliate model. And if you look at it you can see why.... now if you run a program you are asked to provide everything parties...,content etc etc before an affiliate will send you traffic.

Observe Lightspeed not accepting new affiliates recently. A very smart move on his part in the long run.

The affiliate marketing model is also going thru some changes as well. And I think in the long run it will be of benefit to us all.

The business has stagnated in terms of innovation for the last several years. Its only natural you see people trying different things. This BTW also includes Oprano. If you havent noticed.... Newton has been trying a few new things and by the end of the week the stage will be set to see what the next chapter holds for the board.

Somethings work. Some dont. Only thru chaos do you effect any change.

Jace

07-14-2005, 12:24 PM

wow, you all have managed to turn me trying to give some product away for fun into a nice little debate about how we do business and what decisions we have made

1st off, right now our goal is not to gain new affiliates, we are basing our business not from an affiliate model, but from a raw sales model. If you don't like that and it upsets you all (obviously), i apologize. If you think you can sell our shit, and have advice for us, and want to work with us, hit me up, I will work with anyone for a set amount of time to see if things do work...I am ALWAYS willing to work for sales, I alwaus have been, and always will be

2nd, I work at least 14 hours a day on my site. I stopped promoting everything else approx 1 month ago and went full time with my own company, because in the long run it is going to be a better business decision than depending on others.

3rd, while you all just see a silly little site, we have been working our asses off chasing companies that want to purchase wholesale, and us also setting up non-internet shops with our products. You will soon see our displays in local Atlanta shops, along with many other southeastern companies shops. I have chatted with other larger glass dildo suppliers, and fact remains the main amount of sales for these come from face to face meeting with the dildos, not from online sales.

I am a salesman, and it is my job to find the largest and most profitable audience for my product, and unfortunately it doesn't come from someone else selling my product for me over the internet, when a customer comes and wants to spend $150 on one of our pieces, it is usually in a shop where they can touch and feel it, not on the internet where the pictures look pretty....and while I would LOVE to change that, that is just how it goes.

seriosuly though, if ANYONE on this board thinks they can sell these things online better, and wants me to change my site to do so (more than I already have in the past 10 time these 3 months) hit me up and lets talk, i am ALL EARS

ummm... Welcome to Oprano ??? :yowsa:

But, you didn't address my point. I did not question your business methods, or your business decisions, or you business model.

I DID question your comments about the affiliates not being able to sell theproduct and as I stated, it seems to me that if the affiliates are getting the traffic to your site then they are doing their job. The selling of the actual product, once the affiliate has gotten the surfer to your site is up to the site, not the affiliate.

Yes, affiliates can filter their traffic better perhaps, but all in all the sales job begins with the affiliates but it is up to the site to close the deal (imho).

(again) Or am I missing something here ?

Quite honestly, if i were going to buy one of those i wouldnt do it from your site.

Without meaning to rip you up, the site looks like crap.

A high priced tickt product should have a high quality looking site to sell from, right now, the site looks like something my 13 yr old neice could throw together in about 15 minutes.

You might want to speak to Sharky or Todd about getting them to give your site a proper design, who knows, you might just make some more sales with a better looking design :)

Also, you said you were a salesman yet, i see nothing on the site which qualifies the potential customer, nothing that tells them the benefits of buying one of your $80+ glass dildos over inferior $10 ones.

Just my opinion for what its worth, as a saleman ;)

Bhelliom

07-14-2005, 01:47 PM

I actually agree with Lee... I was just going to post something similar.

and coming from a consumer perspective... its a little text heavy and not really easy to navigate... for example... what exactly is a raked color category? most people looking for just something to spice up their lives don't know shit about toys... they just buy what they see and like... at least in my opinion.

And also, I think Lee has a point when he asks "why should I spend 150 bucks on a dildo when i can buy one for 30?"

Keep in mind that this is coming from a consumer perspective, so take what you will from it.

And while you do have a pyrex faq to inform people its a small link down at the bottom. I would think that the front page would be all about marketing it... this is why its better than any other... etc etc...

"handcrafting and extensive attention to detail. Then the annealing process, which strengthens the glass toy, takes 24 hours or more to heat and cool down. In Pyrex dildos, as with anything "you get what you pay for" and with Ecstasy Glass you get simply the best. "

lines like that should be very visible and obvious to everyone looking... not just the ones that are considering it.. when you make a point of saying they're handcrafted and that you all take great pride in your work (as i'm sure you do) then that automatically bumps up the perceived value in the eyes of the customer... all of a sudden they're going to be willing to pay more for a product...

sorry if this is obvious stuff and i'm sure it is... but like i said.. that's what i would like to see as a consumer... especially when i see a prestige pricing strategy... you need to show WHY they're prestigious

yes, you are 100% correct....it is ultimately up to the end site to close the deal

but by your statement, if Joe Blow sends me 5000 hits of tgp traffic looking for naked chicks, then I should have been able to sell those people my high end glass dildos? that is what is happening, and why most of our affiliates aren't making sales, cause they don't want to take the time to market us better and they are sending us the wrong targetted traffic

and yes, i could spend so more time getting our site looking better, and there has actually been a few nice ideas in here that I am going to workin on tonight (thanks guys and gals)...but in the end it doesn't change my way of thinking, that glass dildos are always going to be marketed better in person and in a display rather than on the internet

which is why strive to 1. pick up new shops, 2. go to fan conventions and 3. sell in person almost 80% of the time

Jace

07-14-2005, 04:05 PM

and i hope everyone here realizes I appreciate all that is said, and all ideas that everyone is giving me are very appreciated

I honestly just wanted to give away some shit...LOL...but that ain't happenin any time soon

eventually, i would LOVE to shut off ecstasyglass.com to sales, like phallix has done...and just make our product wholesale only :)

Bhelliom

07-14-2005, 04:22 PM

feel free to give me stuff....

but really I do kind of agree that a dildo would be something like clothes.. harder to sell online... cause people like to see and touch them ... rather than look at pictures of them

Jace

07-14-2005, 04:44 PM

You have to have sex with, and build relationships with, a person of the same gender as yourself in order to be gay. Really. It's in the bylaws and everything.

And Jace? Uh...I'm still female! (If you have the strength to scroll back far enough, you'll find I eventually *did* get the point of your original post and answered it correctly!)

Oh, and sense everybody is tossing in their...whatevers...I'll toss in mine. When the first "glass dildo" post was up...I kept on keeping on. Didn't even click on it. I thought "glass????" and "delicate areas" and moderately freaked. (Hush up all of you, I don't get out much and don't know a lot of things.) Then once you described the process and the end result, I thought "hmmmm...that sounds interesting, indeed." Then went on to "oh, how lovely!" I can see how actually holding one and examining it would be so much easier for me to make a purchase...or for my husband to make one as a gift for me.

Once I get done with a few projects, I want to see how well they'd work on my erotica site. Erotica surfers are a different breed of surfer.

I have never had a piece of pyrex break, much less shatter into tiny pieces..usually it just breaks in half or into pieces, but not tiny

I have actually run one of our pieces over with my truck and it didn't break it

I have actually run one of our pieces over with my truck and it didn't break it

I need to shoot some video of my doing that, woulkd be excellent addition to the site [/b][/quote]
It's a mental thing - I'm also afraid of my garbage disposal because I watched a movie once where someone's hand got stuck in it. I'm strange, but you already knew that. :P

When the first "glass dildo" post was up...I kept on keeping on. Didn't even click on it. I thought "glass????" and "delicate areas" and moderately freaked. (
i always felt that way as well when todd started selling these a while back.. i imagine a lot of surfers do also. i can't imagine someone feeling comfortable with sticking something inside themselves that is basically synonmous with shattering into a million shards and cutting people to peices. everyone has been cut by broken glass. i really dont see those people sticking glass up thier asses.

"Twirled Colors"
It's evocative of movement. "Swirled" is as well, but "twirled" strikes me as being more playful. "Remember how much fun you had twirling your baton? Well here is an even better toy for the playful woman."
