New Purple Bondage Gear

2009-07-01T16:46:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, I'm back and better than ever with some new products to showcase:

PURPLE & BLACK LEATHER RESTRAINTS COLLECTION: POSTURE COLLARS, WRIST CUFFS, & ANKLE CUFFS:

This dazzling new color combination will be sure to wow your customers! This leather set is made of firm but flexible purple Latigo leather boldly accented with black leather trim. There is both a tall and a short locking curved posture collar available in this collection. For those of you who are new to posture collars, which are designed to keep a slave’s head upright and at attention, the curved style does not feel as severe as the straight-edged style, as it cuts around the bottom of the jawline more closely, leaving a bit of room for the chin to fall. The short and tall collars accommodate different heights of wearers – or different levels of discipline. It can also be locked for extra excitement or security by passing a padlock through the tongue of the specially-designed locking buckle. Check 'em out!!

Short Posture Collar (J471)
Tall Posture Collar (J472)
Wrist Cuffs (J469)
Ankle Cuffs (J470)

This is my favorite holiday. I love getting dressed up for Halloween!! Putting on some latex, some make-up, a wig and going down to West Hollywood for a wonderful night of debauchery!! Oh wait, that's just about every other weekend...

Everyday is Halloween when you're in the world of Stockroom... Hoods, masks, pony play, straitjackets, whips, hand cuffs, blindfolds, medical toys, ... I could go on and on.

If you like to dress up on a regular basis or if you like to wait for those special occasions a few times a year, we have a great selection of masks, costumes, latex outfits, leather, and an endless amount of toys and accessories to complete your get-up (and for the after-party). Hope you all have a great time!! I know I will...

Here's the Featured Product of the Week... This is the very sexy Kiki Klement just before she was about to get tied with these Locking/Buckling Wrist Cuffs around that tree for being a bad girl.

Don't forget to add your affiliate code when you're linking with shots like these, and if you have any questions about how to do it, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hope to hear from you soon!!

Webmaster Access West is coming up November 19th-21st here in sunny Los Angeles, and I'd love to meet you. If you're going to be in town for that event or if you're located here anyway, I'd be delighted to take you around our factory of goodies and show you where the magic is made...

Next, I'd like to start a new recurring feature for Product of the Week... People are always asking me what the best way to make money is. Here's one of the best I can think of: feature specific items with affiliate deep-links. Like the way the lovely picture of Sunny Leone is featured above... (Don't forget to use your affiliate code or co-branded store link!!!) Also, some "call to action" text is always a good idea like, "GET HER OFF" or "CHRISTMAS IS COMING"... Anything to entice your users to click the banner is smart. Also, please respect our watermark. ;-) Thank you, kindly.

Finally, please contact me to schedule a meeting, even if you can't make it to LA. We can chat about business, sex toys, fetish gear, or anything else you have on your mind. Shoot me an email or give me a ring!!If you're not signed up yet, what are you waiting for??

STOCKROOM.COM TO PRESENT ORIGINAL EROTIC "POST-APOCALYPTIC" PRODUCTION AT THE SAN FRANCISCO FETISH BALL MARCH 6-8

2008-03-06T08:45:00.000-08:00

A Company-wide Sale Celebrates the Event

Photo courtesy of www.stockroom.com
SAN FRANCISCO – (date) – Stockroom.com, the world's leading online source for sex toys, fetish gear and fashion, will present an original choreographed fashion production at the 7th Annual San Francisco Fetish Ball with events that take place over three days from March 6-8.

Stockroom.com's signature fetish gear and slinky Syren Latex and Stormy Leather fashions will be showcased during the event on Saturday, March 8 from 9:30pm–3am at the Regency Center (1290 Sutter Street, San Francisco, CA 94109) in what the company describes as "an incredible post-apocalyptic production number that will mesmerize and haunt you."

To celebrate the Fetish Ball, Stockroom is holding a company-wide 10% discount sale on merchandise that can be purchased online at www.stockroom.com, www.syren.com or at www.stormyleather.com using promo code SFFBO8. The sale starts today and ends on Sunday, March 16th.

Those who will be purchasing their tickets to the Ball at the Stormy Leather shop at 1158 Howard Street in San Francisco or at the Syren shop at 2807 Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles will also be able to buy merchandise at a special 15% discount.

Ann-Marie Holman of Syren Latex will direct the Stockroom event on March 8th which she describes as "a dark, sexy, dramatic and Mad Max-inspired multimedia extravaganza." It will star international burlesque sensations Diamondback Annie, Mia Vixen, and Victoria Vengeance; exquisite operatic dandy Prince Poppycock; and mistress of mayhem Athena Fatale.

"This is not a catwalk fashion show," says Ms. Holman. "It's a choreographed dance extravaganza that showcases the clothing and costumes from Syren Latex. One of our stars is the 12-foot tall Mad Max Evil Queen with a massive Mohawk wig on top and a nine-foot in diameter hoop skirt at the bottom. I don't want to give away more details, but suffice to say that it will be unlike anything anyone has ever seen before at any Fetish Ball."

We Grow and Grow and Go!

2007-08-01T13:31:00.000-07:00

Hello Stockroom Affiliates!

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you all to Stockroom.com's newest Affiliate Manager - Mario Moralez! (mario@stockroom.com)

As I am going to be taking a leave of absence from the Stockroom (to tour with my band, The Evangenitals!), Mario will be stepping in to take care of all of our affiliates.

Be sure to head on over to Adult Who's Who and add him as a friend! http://www.adultwhoswho.com/person/person.html?id=03576

As for my Director of Marketing duties, I have hand-picked the greatest replacement a gal could ask for, Allain Rochel. (allain@stockroom.com) We're actually old friends from Grad School, so I am confident that I'm leaving you all in good hands. FYI.... it's pronounced "Alan". ;-)

I will still be checking emails periodically and keeping in touch with the people, press, and progress of all things Stockroom.com from the road, so don't fret about losing me completely to the Wild World of Rock n' Roll. I'll be back, and there are rumors that when I return I shall be knighted as the Galactic Ambassador of the Stockroom Empire! Seriously.

If you'd like to come see The Evangenitals and I on our cross-country bio-diesel adventure, you can check out our tour dates on the Evangenitals website, our Myspace page, or the Road to Oprah website. That's right... we're going to Oprah!

A Unique New Affiliate Banner?

2007-05-25T14:36:00.000-07:00

If you are so moved, feel free to use any of the letters from the Actual Customer Letter Series at Stockroom.com as an affiliate banner!

Simply grab the image and link it up using your affiliate code. These went over real well when we ran them in The Onion (print version), and I think they'll do even better as banner links online.... or just as something silly to share with my friends. :-)

Cheers,
Juli

2007-05-18T15:20:00.000-07:00

The answers to many common questions regarding the Stockroom Affiliate Program are now easily accessible for your perusal in our new FAQ!

http://www.stockroom.com/affiliates/faq.aspx

I'd like to thank our dear Affiliate Rep Amy for putting this together.

Hope to see you all there. :-)

Cheers,
Juli

Evangenitals to Perform Live at Cybernet Expo

2007-05-11T15:19:00.000-07:00

TAMPA BAY, FL - Cybernet Expo has upped the ante again, this time with the announcement that the very talented Evangenitals will be performing live for attendees at next month’s show in Tampa Bay. The performance will take palce at the Hilton Westshore in Tampa Bay, the host venue for Cybernet Expo, and will include free drinks provided courtesy of sponsors AEBN and Stockroom.com. The show will be limited to Cybernet Expo attendees only.

With a sound that the band describes as “hillbilly love punk alternative country psychedelic healthy hippie dirty rock revolution,” or as one fan describes as “like the Dixie Chicks being beaten with their own guitars at the playful hands of the Violent Femmes,” the Evangenitals have a loyal following in the Southern California music scene. They have already released the collection “We Are the Evangenitals,” and a second LP is scheduled for release in the summer of 2007.

”The Evangenitals (aka The Love Punks) were once a fictitious band - a fib on a phony website born to amuse its founders and maybe a few friends,” explains the band’s website. “On a whim, Juli Crockett, Lisa Dee, and Brett Lyda - who all worked at the same sex toy company in L.A. (like the Sex Pistols) - brought the ghost to life and debuted a handful of ‘hillbilly truck-stop lullabies’ for Arlo's open mic night at the legendary Mr T's Bowl in Highland Park.”

Juli Crockett, the lead vocalist and principle songwriter for the band, is also the Marketing Director at Stockroom.com, which sells sex toys and bondage gear through its website and catalog. Cybernet Expo will mark the first time that the band has played for an adult industry audience.

“The Evangenitals have played at wildly diverse venues – at weddings, funerals, churches, outdoor family festivals, political fundraisers, you name it – and every event and venue is different,” says Crockett. “This will be our first adult industry bash, and we’re not quite sure what to expect.”

“We plan to provide a real unique, sweet and slightly smutty musical experience for everyone and get our kicks from whatever toe-tapping and head bobbing we can get out of the crowd. If we are lucky enough to ignite some musical passions in the people, have some bras thrown our way, and cultivate some new and devoted groupies, that would be awesome.”

Stockroom.com, along with AEBN, will be sponsoring the Saturday evening performance, and Stockroom.com will also be participating in Cybernet Expo’s popular “Show n’ Sell” marketing event.

“We love AEBN,” says Crockett. “AEBN a great company staffed with good people and their giving of resources to events and causes that they believe in is inspirational. We are thrilled that they are bringing the Evangenitals to the Cybernet Expo and we think the attendees of the Expo will definitely thank them for it.”

Crockett is also a former boxer, and is rumored to be the inspiration for Hilary Swank’s character in the Oscar-winning film Million Dollar Baby. Her boxing career ended early due to injury.

The Evangenitals also feature Lisa Dee, Brett Lyda, Geoff Brandin, and George Bernardo. So what about their sound?

“Many people have reported that no matter how much someone tries to explain the Evangenital experience to them, they are always totally surprised by the way it actually sounds,” explains Crockett. “Very difficult to categories, we comfortably straddle the genres of Folk, Americana, Southern Rock, Alt Country, Indie Pop, and Psychedelic Funk.”

“The music can be beautiful, playful and humorous, sublime and/or profane, which we feel comes close to accurately reflecting the multi-faceted nature of the human soul. In the world of the Evangenitals a bittersweet tender love song can transform into a filthy, sexy hoe-down in seconds flat, and the journey feels familiar.“

Attendance at the Evangenitals performance is free, but will require a Cybernet Expo attendee badge. Advance registration for Cybernet Expo, along with its reduced registration rates, will end on May 26th. Additionally, hotel rooms for Cybernet Expo are almost sold out, but rooms are still available at the Hilton Westshore for the reasonable rate of $139 per night. Hotel rooms must be booked through the CybernetExpo.com website; anyone attempting to register directly with the Hilton Westshore will be told that the rooms are all sold out.

Cybernet Expo, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, is dedicated exclusively to the adult Internet business. The show offers seminars for online adult business owners, plus parties and networking events, and an opportunity to make new industry contacts. For more information about attending Cybernet Expo, please visit http://www.cybernetexpo.com/.

Stockroom.com Acquires Stormy Leather

2007-04-10T17:27:00.000-07:00

Oh man, are we excited!

The news is on the front page of xBiz and AVN right now, and you, my dear Stockroom.com affiliates, can read it right here:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Stockroom.com Acquires Stormy Leather

Los Angeles/San Francisco, CA –

Stockroom.com, the oldest online adult toy retailer specializing in high-quality BDSM gear and Fetish wear, has acquired San Francisco-based Stormy Leather, a leading manufacturer of distinctive fetish clothing and toys.

Stormy Leather was founded in 1983 by Kathy Andrew, who operated “like a crazed elf in a leaking basement” (On Our Backs) on an antique sewing machine in the original Sanchez Street basement location. The business later relocated to the American Industrial Center on Third Street and then to its current location at 1158 Howard Street, where the Stormy Leather Retail Store opened its doors on May 5th 1990.

In December of 2002, Stormy Leather was purchased by the Florida based corporation Eurotique, who continued building the Stormy Leather business until this year when the company’s owners decided to retire.

Although Stockroom.com has been a steadily-growing organism since its founding in 1988 by 21 year old college student Joel Tucker, the company “definitely seem to be experiencing quite a growth spurt this year” says Marketing Director Juli Crockett. Prior to the Stormy Leather acquisition last week, Stockroom.com was already expanding its manufacturing with the debut of its Kinklab line and the acquisition of Syren Latex. The company also launched the redesigned Stockroom.com website last year, offering a host of new user-friendly features, as well as an All Male version of the Stockroom site, GayStockroom.com. Last but certainly not least, Stockroom.com’s long-awaited affiliate program launched early in 2006 and now providing all of the toy stores for the Kink.com network of sites.

As it did with the Syren acquisition of 2006, Stockroom.com is bringing the entire Stormy Leather production team on board, and also plans to renovate the Stormy Leather retail store. “When Stockroom.com purchased Syren, our design team performed a makeover on both the store and the product line which breathed new life into the company,” says Stockroom/Syren latex designer Jeff of LA. “Reinvigorating the Stormy image will involve the same strategy of carefully redesigning the store and selectively editing and adding to the product line that we exercised with Syren Latex. The renovated Stormy store will not only be more aesthetically pleasing, but visitors will find it easier to shop.” High-quality merchandise and superior aesthetics will be a key focus, as it has always been for Stockroom.com.

Stockroom.com owner and founder Joel Tucker states, “I am happy and excited about Stockroom's acquisition of Stormy Leather. These are two complementary enterprises, each with a long history of positive community involvement and industry leadership, and each founded upon similar values.”

“Stormy is actually five years older than Stockroom, having been founded in 1983. Both businesses have been pioneers in the industry in their own ways. Stockroom was the first adult toy company on the internet, and has always been an all-around leader in terms of service, value, marketing, manufacturing, and efficiency. Stormy has an impressive history in leather/specialty retail, and excellent design, especially in its lines of products made by and for women. Both companies have had a long-standing commitment to quality product, community involvement, education, and ethics.”

Before & After

To clear out the store for the renovation, there will be a huge “Before” blowout sale beginning on April 20th (yes, 4/20) and ending on April 30th at which time the Stormy store will be closed for renovations until May 15th when the doors to the new, improved Stormy Leather will open and the “After” sale will begin. The Grand Opening play party & fashion show is scheduled for Friday May 18th at the Stormy Leather retail store.

Skin Two once cited Stormy Leather as being "possibly the best fetish store [they've"> ever seen". The SF Bay Guardian 27th Annual Readers’ Poll voted Stormy Leather "Best Leather Shop", just as the company turned 18 years old at the beginning of August 2001. And now more than twenty years after its creation, Stormy Leather has been voted "Best Women's Leather Store" by the Society for Human Sexuality several times. Stockroom.com intends to maintain and refine the award-winning history of excellence customers have come to expect from Stormy Leather.

Tucker is also pleased to be spending more time in San Francisco. “This acquisition also gives me all the excuse I need to spend a lot more of my own time in San Francisco, and I am looking forward to that. The whole Stormy Leather staff seems to be excited and supportive about the new direction, and I am enjoying getting to know them better.”

Introducing Amy

2007-04-04T12:20:00.000-07:00

Hello Everybody!

The Phoenix Forum was an absolute blast. I'm still recovering, and don't yet have my voice back completely... Karaoke took the last of my larynx from me!

I hope that everyone who attended got home safe and sound and got some SLEEP.

For those of you who met the Stockroom's new affiliate manager Amy Ruvalcaba at the show -- she's now on Adult Who's Who (as you and your business should be, if you aren't already!)

You may befriend her here: http://www.adultwhoswho.com/person/person.html?id=03268

For those of you who weren't at the show, I do hope you'll be attending the next shin dig, which for me is the Cybernet Expo in Tampa, Florida.

Till then, see you all in cyberspace!

Phoenix Forum Fun (and then some)

2007-03-27T11:35:00.000-07:00

It's time for the Phoenix Forum! Who's going to be there?

I am just giddy to get to the conference and see all of our friends, affiliates, and associates IN THE FLESH. Not that I don't immensely enjoy the high-tech cyber-ways that I usually communicate with everyone in the biz -- via blogs, IMs, phone calls, and email -- it's just that nothing quite compares to sharing some face to face time, shaking hands, looking each other straight in the eyes and hearing first hand how things are going.

There is something special about the Phoenix Forum. Perhaps it is simply my own nostalgia (I consider it to be the first "real" webmaster show that I ever attended) though I think it's something more. I think it's an excellent show, put on RIGHT, by a great company who knows how to throw a party.

I'll be bringing the newest addition to my team, Amy, who is going to be experiencing the trial-by-fire initiation into all things affiliate/traffic/web-marketing at the show.

Amy is one of Stockroom.com's top Customer Service providers, which made her a perfect candidate for an Affiliate Account Representative. Our plan is to continue extending the same legendary customer care that the Stockroom is known for on the retail end of things into our affiliate relations as well.

I've been holding down the fort the best I can, and I will continue to do so to some extent, with Amy acting as my right hand in all things affiliate.

In other news....

The Stockroom is going to have some BIG news in the upcoming weeks. Can't tell you now, but keep your ears peeled and eyes out for the official announcement. This is gonna be good. :-)

GAYVN Summit - This Weekend!

2007-02-21T15:38:00.000-08:00

Who's going to the GAYVN Summit this weekend?

Unfortunately, I will only be there on Thursday for a meeting (alright, I admit it, I have to rush home to play a gig with my band, The Evangenitals, on Friday night!) however...

Stockroom.com founder and owner Joel Tucker is going to be representing our affiliate program at the Summit all weekend long!

If you see him, please be sure to introduce yourself as a Stockroom affiliate. Feel free to ask him any questions or give him any suggestions you may have regarding the Stockroom.com affiliate program.

Although I can't make it to this webmasters show, I will be attending The Phoenix Forum in March. The Phoenix Forum was the very first adult webmasters show I ever attended, actually, and one of the very, very best in my opinion. If you're at all able to get there, don't miss it!

If you're going to be there, be sure to track me down and help me put faces to names. If you don't know what I look like, you can check out my profile over on Adult Who's Who to get a better idea of just who you are dealing with! Yes, I will most likely be wearing my faithful floppy hat!

p.s. If you're not yet registered over on Adult Who's Who, go register! It's free, it's fun, and it's the one of the fastest-growing, award-winning networking site for adult webmasters.

Internext - Las Vegas

2007-01-16T22:45:00.000-08:00

I have been up in Las Vegas for both the AVN Adult Expo and Internext shows, and it has been quite a week! At AVN we officially debuted Stockroom's new Kinklab line to rave reviews, and we were even featured on the G4 Network. With back to back shows, and business as usual in between, I've been exhausted this trip, however, this has not prevented me from having a ball. I've gotten to meet several of our Stockroom affiliates face to face, and I'm looking forward to meeting even more tomorrow.

If you are here at the Internext show, please be sure to email me, give me a call, or track me down. I'm the girl in the fishing hat. :-)

A New Look for Stockroom Affiliates

2006-12-28T12:13:00.000-08:00

You may notice some changes when you log into the Stockroom.com affiliate program these days.

We're getting ready for the New Year, and introducing a sexy new look for our affiliate site. Right now, it will greet you when you hit the home page at www.stockroom.com/affiliates, however you will soon see this new format showing up on every single page of the affiliate backend.

Do not be alarmed, we are simply attempting to enhance your aesthetic experience of our program. Hope you enjoy the new eye candy. :-)

And there are more improvements on the horizon!

We will be introducing a new tools in early '07 which will allow you to view more of the activity on your affiliate account, such as declines, returns, and chargebacks (which we get very few of, due to the fact that we actually process all credit card orders in person), new link generating tools, RSS Feeds, and more! We have great plans for the affiliate program in 2007, and are happy to have you on board to share the experience with us.

Your Privacy is a Top Priority

2006-12-20T15:00:00.000-08:00

Recently it was brought to my attention that the Stockroom.com Privacy Policy, though it has always been observed and extended to our affiliates, was not actually published anywhere on the Stockroom.com Affiliate Program site, or in the Terms and Conditions.

Well, now it's official! The following Stockroom.com Privacy Statement has been added to the Terms and Conditions, and is available for viewing anytime in the menu bar at www.stockroom.com/affiliates:

Privacy Statement
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our business. Stockroom.com is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of its clients.
Unlike many online businesses, we do NOT sell or rent access to customer or affiliate mailing lists or databases to other companies. We will not share ordering information with anyone outside the company, unless compelled to do so by a court order (which has never happened in our 19 years in business).
For our customers, we have taken extensive measures to make our online ordering systems secure. All exchange of personal data takes place in secure browser environments, and data is stored in encrypted formats behind a firewall. We employ outside security analysis firms to check our work on a routine basis.
All orders from Stockroom.com, GayStockroom.com, Syren.com, and our co-branded affiliate stores are shipped in plain packaging using a return address of "Shipping Manager."
Charges to customer credit card statements will appear as "JT's Stockroom - 213-484-3882".

It is feedback like this that helps us to continually develop and improve our affiliate program in response to the needs and desires of our affiliates. As Stockroom affiliates, you are always encouraged to contact me with your ideas, suggestions, problems, questions, wildest dreams, and wishful thinking. We are big dreamers here at the Stockroom, and we want to help you to be as successful as possible with our program.

No question is too simple or foolish, no desire too grand to be considered.

I am here for you. :-)

2006-12-13T11:46:00.000-08:00

We here at Stockroom.com were absolutely thrilled to discover that we were nominated for not one but TWO xBiz Awards: Web Retailer of the Year and Novelty Company of the Year! And boy, are we ever excited!

As Stockroom Affiliates, you can feel proud and secure in your decision to sign on with an award-worthy web retailer and manufacturer. Congratulations!

We are honored to be nominated alongside such impressive industry leaders, and the energy here at the Stockroom.com complex can only be described as "just plain giddy" and "oozing with glee."

I am very much looking forward to the xBiz conference and awards show on Feb. 7th & 8th, as the last show in Vegas was tons of informative fun.

This nomination is like the cherry on top of an already amazing year, and we would like to thank all of our friends, fans, xPeeps and Myspace pals, our affiliates, and everyone else that nominated us for your love, loyalty and support. (hmm... does that sound like I'm preparing my acceptance speech?)

It's simply a treat to be nominated, and I want to share this joyful feeling with all of you.

Let's party!

Do you know your Top Ten Sellers?

2006-12-12T12:00:00.000-08:00

Have you explored all of the reporting features of the Stockroom.com Affiliate Program?

If so, you may have noticed an option to view Your Top Ten Selling Items. This handy feature was designed to give you a clear idea of what your site visitors are buying, so you can make informed decisions as to what types of items you may want to promote via direct product linking, product features or reviews, and other methods of attracting attention to specific items.

In addition to the Top Ten Selling Items, you can always view every single item purchased via your affiliate code in your Monthly Reports.

We have recently updated the Top Ten feature on our affiliate site to reflect your *Top Ten Best Selling Items of All Time, as it was previously reporting the Top Ten on a month to month basis. We feel that providing you the Top Ten items of All Time will give you a better sense of the overall buying habits of your visitors, and assist you in crafting the best sales campaign possible.

As always, we are continually working to develop our affiliate program in response to the needs of our affiliates. If you have any suggestions, problems, questions, or wild and crazy ideas for ways in which we can improve your affiliate experience, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Cheers,

Webmaster Referral Bonus - Reporting for Duty!

2006-11-29T14:36:00.000-08:00

You may have noticed a change in the stats reporting in your Stockroom.com Affiliate Program account.

We have just added Webmaster Referrals and Sales Reporting to the back end. Though we've been tracking it all along, you can now SEE how many Webmasters you've referred, what they have earned this month, and the total amount they have earned over time.

If you don't know about the Webmaster Referral Bonus, you should! It's an extra 5% sales commission that you could be earning on sales by other Webmasters that you refer to the Stockroom.com Affiliate Program.

You can learn more about the Webmaster referral bonus and how to promote using your affiliate code in the Linking Guide at www.stockroom.com/affiliates.

If you have a co-branded store, anyone who signs up using the *Webmasters* link on your store is automatically referred with your code during signup.

Do you do PPV? VOD?

2006-11-21T16:16:00.000-08:00

The first time I heard about PPV and VOD I thought they were sexually transmitted diseases. :-)

Come to find out they are an incredible source of revenue for the Adult Webmaster!

In May of 2006 Stockroom.com launched our custom PPV movie theaters - video.stockroom.com & gayvideo.stockroom.com - hosted by the leader and pioneer in PPV & VOD, AEBN.net.

Upon experiencing their PPV theaters I was blown away, not only by the service that they provide, the sheer number of titles, the sales tools and the ease of use, but by the people at AEBN. It has been an absolute joy to work with them, and have we ever worked with them! They are an affiliate of ours (Stockroom.com providing the co-branded stores for xPeeps, qPeeps, and Pornotube) and we are affiliates of theirs (AEBN providing our movies theaters, and movie theaters for our affiliates).

What's more, in a recent Press Release, AEBN and Stockroom.com announced our joyous partnership. And here's how it works...

Because we are so darn happy with AEBN, if any of our affiliates who qualify for a co-branded Stockroom Affiliate Store already have PPV theaters with AEBN, we are happy to create a link in the menu bar of your co-brand store to your movie theaters. What's more is that AEBN is so darned pleased with Stockroom.com that they will link your AEBN theater back to your Stockroom co-brand store, so that you can keep your commission-generating traffic circulating between these two affiliate sites.

Isn't that a beautiful story?

Now, if you do not yet have an AEBN theater on your site, you can sign up for their affiliate program here: www.AEBN.net

Be sure to tell them that Juli from the Stockroom sent you, and you'll get the extra shine on their already golden treatment. ;-)

GayStockroom.com - Now Available for Linking!

2006-11-21T14:47:00.000-08:00

If you didn't catch the Press Releases a few months ago, or the update to the Linking Guide on our Affiliate site, you may not have realized that you could be linking, promoting, and earning commission from GayStockroom.com right now!

That's right, the GayStockroom.com site can be linked with Stockroom Affiliate codes just like the Stockroom.com site, as outlined on the Stockroom.com Affiliate Program site. It has all of the features of the classic Stockroom.com site -- the highest quality bondage gear, BDSM supplies, fetish wear, sex toys, adult books, and more, with the famous Stockroom customer service, same-day shipping on most orders, shareable wishlists, live chat customer service... you name it!

And if we DON'T have it, please leave a comment and let us know your suggestions. We are working every day to develop the Stockroom.com affiliate program in response to the needs of our affiliates.

In the meantime, check out this review of the new GayStockroom.com from Fleshbot, and start promoting GayStockroom.com on your sites!

Stockroom: Male

While most online sex emporiums all look pretty much alike, the brand spanking new Stockroom: Male site is one extremely well-hung exception. Like the hetero-flavored version which launched a few months ago, the site showcases Stockroom's selection of toys, fetish gear, outfits and various CBT devices with gorgeous photos of men who wear it well. After all, what better way to sell a cockring than by seeing it modeled on a fat pierced cock? Don't miss the "extras" gallery of sexy screensavers and desktops, as well as the mouth-watering selection of free e-cards. This is marketing at its best—we'll take one of each, thank you.

3). At the beginning of each month, you will receive a commission check (if earnings exceed $50; if less, we’ll wait until earnings reach that amount). Each payment will include a statement detailing all sales, returns, charge-backs, referrals, etc.

Why Work With Us?

2006-11-21T12:53:00.000-08:00

Quality & Selection

Superior quality and largest selection for the fetish and BDSM niche markets, offering over 3,000 adult products. The products we sell - many of which we hand make ourselves, here in the USA - must meet our standards for tasteful and functional design and undergo vigorous testing in our Los Angeles Design studio. Most products from other producers that we review don't make the grade.

Price

We don't believe that something should cost a fortune just because it's sex-related. We keep our prices down through reasonable markups, efficient production, and volume purchasing. We extend this fair pricing to our affiliate stores for the benefit of their customers, rather than raising prices to facilitate payouts.

Service

We work hard to demonstrate our respect for our clients as healthy, intelligent, sexually adventurous adults. We offer A+ customer service with live US-based representatives. The service we provide is prompt, convenient, discreet, and responsive to the customer's needs. World-Wide shipping and superior turn-around times (same day shipping on most orders) mean faster repeat business for our affiliates. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau® and have been serving loyal online customers since 1987.

Privacy

We respect our customers' privacy. All orders fulfilled by JT's Stockroom are shipped in plain packaging using a return address of "JTT Co." Furthermore, we do not give, rent, or sell customer information to other companies, and we maintain scrupulous confidentiality with personal information.

Free Content

All of the resources of the Stockroom site are available for our affiliate sites: the Stockroom Galleries, Shareable Wishlists, Live Chat Customer Service, and more.

Satisfaction Guarantee

Our considerate return policy and the stellar service which has helped to build the solid reputation of JT's Stockroom are available for our affiliate customers.

But why take our word for it?

Ask around, and we're confident you'll find that our reputation precedes us. Our products are used by professional dom/dommes, photographers and serious players alike. Stockroom gear is featured regularly in Hustler's Taboo Magazine, On Our Backs, Gwen Media Films, as well as appearing in Playboy, Penthouse, and the LA Weekly.
