Personal Stores? What's that?

I would absolutely love to do a "dorm friendly" store! I've spent the last 4 years figuring out what is and isn't practical for the life of the average dorm-dwelling sex toy lover. For example:

- Thin walls mean they can't sound like blenders or jackhammers!
- Communal bathrooms mean toys must be very easy to clean, often without the use of a sink. High maintenance is generally impractical.
- Again because of communal bathrooms, lubes and massage products that don't leave you feeling like you need to take a shower once you're done. Because that can be a hassle if you have to get your stuff together and run down the hall just to rinse off some lube or sticky massage oil. And if there isn't a shower free? You're out of luck.
- Many have room mates who may or may not be comfortable with you and your toys. Toys that won't be obvious if left sitting out (Hitachi, Ideal, etc massagers) are great for that; smaller toys are easier to hide than giant ones, and straight toys are easier to hide than large, oddly shaped toys (think y-shaped dildos, double dongs, realistic dildos with large balls, etc). Also, discrete storage options are necessary; too many scream "I'm hiding something naughty!" Discrete, easily hidden bondage gear fall under this category as well - under bed sets can be hidden much more easily than frames, ya know, and are much faster to hide than rope.
- For many students in dorms, the shower may be one of the only times they can get alone time for masturbation. Truly waterproof toys that will actually keep the insides of the toy dry are a must!
- Quality on a budget toys. While some college students have cash to burn on lots of expensive toys, most of us have to stick to a strict budget (or eat ramen for a while to afford that lovely dildo). These would be "best bang for your buck" toys: good quality, lots of variety if it vibrates, waterproof, versatile, sturdy, long life span, quiet... you get the picture. less

These personal stores sound way cool! I love the ideas that have been posted so far. I may have an idea or two that have potential but still need a bit more polishing up before they're post-ready, and that will have to wait til after finals are over Do we have a deadline for sharing our ideas? less

You add your "code" to the end of any link.

It goes like this link#pcode-xxx

The xxx is where you put your number. For instance, mine is 6GR. So my personal store link is this link

(The link will show in your browser window when you open it)

Make sense? less

Personal Stores.

What is a personal store?

I'm glad you asked!

Eden Fantasys is trying something new, something maybe a little crazy, definitely a lot cool – Personal Stores.

A Personal Store is just what it sounds like; an area of EF that is “roped off” as your own personal store. You get to design it, name it, decorate it with images you like. You get to pick the products that go in it, you get to add video and articles that would appeal to your shoppers. You also get to use your affiliate link to direct people there so that anything they purchase from your wonderful store makes you a bit of money.

Like I said, cool, isn't it?

Now these personal stores aren't live yet - other than a couple of tests done some EF staff - but we'd like them to be soon.

Eventually, if they work out, we'll likely open the opportunity up to all our contributors but for now we're keeping it small for testing. Only a handful of personal stores will go live at first, letting us see how they work with our current system and how they perform.

So how are we going to decide who gets to make a personal store?

That's easy! Give us your ideas, tell us what you'd do to make a personal store that is unique and special. The best ones? Will get to actually create those stores and be a part of the trial.

We want these stores to be different, specific and purposeful. EF has tons of search parameters that make it very easy for folks to find rabbits, all silicone rabbits, clitoral vibes, mastrubators, realistic dildos, etc. We don't want a bunch of personal stores dedicated to items that are easily found and sorted on Eden Fantasys already.

So put your thinking caps on. Come up with something special! Make this individual and unique to you. Make it something folks would want to visit.

Are you an expert on p-spot stimulation? Make a store that helps shoppers find all the gear they need to be a pro, too. Books, movies, toys, lubes.

Love Jesse Jane? Make a Jesse Jane store.

You get the idea. Some examples can be found here and here

Only... you can't really make the store yet. You have to pitch the idea first! Then, as I said, the best ones, the ones most likely to add a unique and creative aspect to our customer's shopping experience, will be chosen and we'll let you actually set up the store.

Sound fun? Sound exciting? Sound a little crazy and a lot cool?

Do it! Pitch me those ideas, guy! You can put the ideas out there right here, on this forum post, or you can shoot me an email (carrie ann at edenfantasys dot com) -- which ever works for ya. less
