Manufacturers

This page is an open letter to all manufacturers of adult video.

 

We want to sell your videos!!

Often times we are asked by manufacturers, both established manufacturers as well as new companies wanting to find distributors to sell their merchandise exactly what they need to do in order for us to sell their product on our site. Our hopes with this letter is to explain how your product goes from your company to our customers.

First, let us explain that we WANT to sell your product. This is how you make money, how we make money, and our customers get new and exciting movies in their collections. Our approach in marketing movies may be very simplified, but we have found it to be the best for everyone involved.

What we do and don't do:

• We don't stock up on new releases. If for example, you require us to buy a dozen copies of your newest release, then unfortunately we can't do business together. For the simple reason that new releases (except from very few established studios) do not normally sell well.
• We don't sell movies that are rated below an X rating. Softcore X may be considered on a case by case basis.
• We don't sell movies wholesale. All our customers purchase movies at retail prices. We are not a wholesale distributor.
• We do not "judge" your movies. As long as your movie(s) are not illegal, we will market your movies. We feel that there is a market for every kink, fetish, etc. There are some companies who may feel a movie is "politically incorrect", or someone in the company may consider a scene to be "sick" and not carry it. We don't believe in limiting our customers in that manner.
• We only sell finished product. We do not pre-sell movies that may be completed in a month or so. When the product is ready to sell, we will then promote your movie.
• We do buy licenses to movies. Contact us with your proposal.
• We do not draw up contracts when we conduct business with you. We have had companies offer contracts requiring us to purchase 3 copies of 4 new releases a month. This is not beneficial to us, or our customers. When your movies sell on our site, we buy from you, or a distributor that you market your movies through.
• We will not market movies that are sub-standard. For example if you sell a movie that has been duplicated 5 times and the quality of the picture is totally lost, or if you are trying to sell a 15 minute movie for $60 in order for you to make a quick buck, we aren't interested.

How to approach us to have us market your movies:

• Do nothing. If you are an established company, then we will select which movies to sell on our site on a movie by movie basis. Usually if we feel a movie will sell well, we will purchase an initial copy from our distributor, and put it on our site. The more established companies will have most if not all new releases put on our site automatically.
• Take a more agressive approach:
• 1: Provide us with box covers, suggested retail price, and a true running time of your movies and we will put your movies on the site. Yes, it is as simple as that. We have sold many copies of movies from manufactures simply by them taking this small step.
• 2: Provide us with screener copies of your movies. By taking this extra step, we will send your movie out to one of our reviewers and they will write a review on your movie, which we will post on our site. This method will generate more sales. Please understand that reviews are subjective by the reviewer. Please do not send us movies if you feel that our reviewers will write a rave review simply because you provided a screener copy. Our reviewers write honest reviews, and there may be times where a reviewer doesn't see all the hard work that you put in to a production. This may hurt, but we feel that it is important to our customers to provide a fair review of all productions that are reviewed.
• 3: Provide us with hardcore chromes or pictures of the movies that you want us to market. We will scan these pictures and post them on our site. This method generates a lot of additional sales. Our customers want to see what they are buying. If you require us to return your chromes, please let us know, and we will rush the process in order to return the chromes to you in a timely basis.
• 4: Provide us with a synopsis of the movie. We will post your synopsis on our site. It does help us to promote your movie.
