9 Successful Sex Toys Business Case Studies
The sex toy industry is growing rapidly, and there's no sign of this slowing down.
The reasons for this growth are varied. The rise of social media has made it easier to find out about new products and services, which has given companies greater access to their customer base and helped them grow their businesses. More people are also getting comfortable with buying things online; not only does this make it easier for them to shop in private, but it also helps them avoid embarrassment if they're nervous about their purchases being seen by other customers while they're waiting in line at a store.
The industry itself is changing as well: companies are offering more variety than ever before, which means that there's something for everyone—even those who might not have considered themselves interested in this sort of thing before now can find something that suits their needs perfectly!
There are already individuals who made it big in this industry and these stories are the proof of their success.
Here are some real life success stories of starting a sex toys business:
1. Sex Toys For Men Co. ($28.8K/year)
Liam Valentine (from Mariánské Lázně, Northwest, Czech Republic) started Sex Toys For Men Co. about 6 years ago.
As of now, we gross around $2,000-$3,000/month in revenue, so it isn’t something to write home about necessarily, however, this journey has been very rewarding.
2. Super Smash Cache ($24K/year)
Cy (from Detroit, MI, USA) started Super Smash Cache over 7 years ago.
I’m Cy, an award-winning sex blogger who’s critiqued over 200 body-safe sex toys. My review blog, Super Smash Cache, focuses on which sex toys are worth it, which ones fall short, and which ones may work for others but not for me (and vice versa).
I gave my honest take on THAT nearly-$300 massager that won a robotics design award, and I’ll never rave about a toy that sounds like a dolphin when you clench around it — no matter how many influencers post smiling selfies with it.
3. Betty's Toy Box ($1.5M/year)
Carolyn Eagle (from Toronto, ON, Canada) started Betty's Toy Box over 8 years ago.
My name is Carolyn Eagle and I am the co-founder of Betty’s Toy Box and Naughty North, a leading eCommerce network focused on adult pleasure products and accessories. The primary focus from the start was to create an online space where people could shop in a comfortable, safe, and non-judgemental environment.
Couples are using pleasure products to stay closer and more connected even across continents, with Bluetooth and app-enabled items at the forefront of a new surge in pleasure technology. A silver lining of the pandemic has been people spending more time focusing on their sexual health and pleasure.
4. Behind Chocolate Eyes, LLC. ($6K/year)
Montoya Walton (from Fort Worth) started Behind Chocolate Eyes, LLC. over 1 year ago.
Hi, My name is Montoya “Chocolate” Walton, I’m 34yrs old, Texas-born & raised. I have 4 beautiful children & a wonderful fiance’. He’s one handsome guy! I’m a pretty outstanding woman, sort of like “SuperWoman”!
I have faith that my monthly income will flourish like the rest of the businesses that I’ve read about in the past. Just have to keep pushing forward & stay positive in everything that we do!
5. Just a moment... ($24M/year)
I have to admit I never thought I would write an article with the above headline. But then again, I had never thought that the Academy Award-winning actress and ex-partner of Brad Pitt and Coldplay’s…
