The First 100!

Today we reached a milestone! There are now over 100 products for sale at Mall of Erotica!

Thanks to the volume of new eBooks and videos uploaded by shopkeepers like Pink Flamingo Publications, Blair Erotica Books and our newest shop, Alice in BondageLand, we finally hit triple-digits!

When we originally went live last June with all the content restrictions unexpectedly placed on us, I knew that it was going to be a major struggle to attract and retain content providers. And even with the support of a few strangers out there who saw Mall of Erotica as a site with potential we struggled to get up to 50 items. Well since I got rid of my original payment processor and found a better one (only a month or so ago) we've almost doubled the number of items on the site, our hits are up, and our sales are up!

We were so happy with the changes that we're running a special right now for all the shopkeepers. The sales split is normally 68/32 (68% goes to the shopkeepers, 32% comes to us to cover our costs and give us a small profit), but until April 1st, 2013, the split is 75/25! That's right, for every product you sell on Mall of Erotica until April 1st, 2013, you get 75% of the profits! That's how much we love our shopkeepers! If you're a content producer looking for an additional revenue stream, or a home for your erotic content and don't want a lot of content restrictions, come add a shop now!

In terms of brand name recognition, I suspect that 99.9999% of the Internet has never heard of Mall of Erotica. That's fine. We'll get there. Interestingly, however, my efforts to recruit Winnipeg models have caused an uptick in interest from the local kink community. The few friends I have that know about this undertaking have actually had other people come up to them in real life and say "have you heard about this new site, Mall of Erotica?" which to me is very cool.

There's been a rather positive response to my ads for models, both of male and female persuasion and Mistress Trish is going through the applications and will be meeting with those who applied. If you're in Winnipeg, 18 years of age or older, and are interested in doing something fun and kinky check out our application form. We expect to really take off this summer so now is the time to get in on the ground floor of what I plan to turn into the premiere erotic content production company in Winnipeg!

Thank you to everyone for your awesome support!
