'This is Not Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll' Campaign Goes Viral

TLC® This is Not Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll (0231-7)

Topco Sales introduced a sex doll dubbed 'This is Not Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll' just in time for the hot and heavy presidential election. The media blitz surrounding the doll has caused a huge demand for the VPILF.

The doll is the subject of blogs, online forums and talk shows all over the world. Two Comedy Central blogs have covered the doll; the Indecision Blog and CCInsider.

Other buzz-worthy sites include TheFrisky.com, BuzzFeed.com and Salon.com, just to name a few.

Several newspapers, including the MatSu Valley Frontiersman, which is the local paper of the Wasilla, Alaska where Sarah Palin was formally mayor, are picking up the story.

Overseas the wildly popular Graham Norton Show in the UK will do a segment on the doll which will air on the BBC and BBC America. Shoppen.blog.nl in the Netherlands is doing an article, as well as LeMatin Bleu, French Switzerland's daily newspaper.

Radio stations across the nation are scheduling interviews and doing on-air give-a-ways with the highly popular doll. A few include: WZBH-FM 93.5 The Beach in Georgetown, Delaware; 95.7 The Rock in La Crosse, Wisconsin; and 92.3 KOMP-FM in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The media frenzy is similar to Cabbage Patch Doll craze in the 80's. Everyone is clamoring to get their hands on the most popular gag-gift of the 2008 election.

Since the press release was issued last Thursday, the Topco Sales' website has seen an incredible increase in traffic and the Topco Sales Community is buzzing with blogs and forums about the doll.

The 'This is Not Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll' is sure to liven up any town hall meeting, vice presidential debate, or caribou hunting party. The internet is buzzing with people looking to bring a doll to a local political rally.

Supplies are limited and distributors should contact their Topco Sales account executive immediately to order the 'This is Not Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll', found under the TLC line of products. Stores should order the dolls right away from their distributors to ensure stock during the erection season...we mean...election season.

Lotsa Ladies in the Love Swing!

It was Ladies' Night and the Ladies were out and lookin' good! Old School and R&B radio station Hot 92.3 personality Renee Taylor hosted the Girls' Night Out at QC's 20/20 in the Quiet Canyon Country Club in Montebello, California, dubbed "Boys, Toys and More." The Country Club was anything but quiet as the ladies poured into the venue to try out the Love Swing at the Love Shack Parties Booth, to cha cha on the dance floor, to buy sexy vibrating grrl toys products and to be pampered with full body massages.

Penis-themed accessories abounded while ladies bonded. Sexy male go-go dancers turned up the heat as the icy cocktails cooled things down. But the real action was at the two Love Shack Parties Booths, one featured grrl toyz vibrating toys and the other was home to a lively demonstration of the Topco Sales TLC Love Swing where the designated Love Swing "swinger" showed willing and semi-willing participants all the sexy ways to use the Love Swing. The Love Swing was raffled off to one lucky winner at the end of the night! Watch the video for all the swingin' action!

SAVE THE VIBE!

grrl toyz® Endless Love Rechargeable Vibe (7469-6)

Topco Sales did "green" before "green" was cool. And that was both good and bad. The Endless Love Rechargeable Vibe in the grrl toyz line of products hit the market and was ahead of its time. It never really got the attention it deserved and now soft sales have put the vibe in jeopardy.

Not to be detoured, Topco Sales is launching a campaign to SAVE THE VIBE!

Distributors and retailers who are looking to stock environmentally friendly products should take note of the grrl toyz Endless Love Rechargeable Vibe. Since it does not use batteries, the toy has a relatively small carbon-footprint.

The vibe's innovative charging system uses opposing magnetic fields to transfer energy meaning there is no 'metal to metal' contact. The sleek, rechargeable, battery-free "A/C" powered no volt base recharges the vibe quickly. It has a multi-speed/multi-function controller and is even waterproof.

To help brick-and-mortar stores highlight the features of the grrl toyz Endless Love Rechargeable Vibe, the product will soon feature new packaging that better emphasizes the benefits of this unique product. Topco Sales will also release shelf-talkers to use at the point of purchase that callout the benefits.

For those seeking immediate information on the retail level, Topco Sales provides a downloadable and printable one-sheet that can be handed out or hung on the wall near the grrl toyz Endless Love Rechargeable Vibe at the point of sale.

SAVING THE VIBE ties in with Topco Sales' 'Commitment to Green'. Topco Sales is hoping to raise awareness not only about this particular vibe, but about rechargeable and eco-friendly products in general.

Part of the campaign includes a partnership with the popular UK website, SexToyTesters.co.uk. The site features a green sex toy survey. Those who fill out the survey have a chance to win a grrl toyz Endless Love Vibe.

In step with Topco Sales' 'Commitment to Green' the survey is also gathering valuable consumer feedback on eco-friendly sex toys.

Other social marketing efforts to SAVE THE VIBE are being spearheaded by the Topco Sales Community Bloggers. The viral initiative includes raising awareness through the Topco Sales Community, on the forum, on the various Topco Sales blogs, through social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace.

Check out what consumers are saying about Topco Sales manufactured toys.

Marco Banderas Uncut CyberSkin Cock
"Whoo, a cock in a box! Talk about ultra realistic and full of promise… My partner was a bit envious of the sheer size, but it looked very sexy and really put me in the mood. A surprise addition to the box was a clip and collect card. My mind ran riot with the thought of starting a collection of Marco and his pals. What a great idea! I'll definitely recommend it to my friends, and give it '5 out of 5'!"
- Sex Toy Testers

Lex Steele CyberSkin Big Man XL Penis Pump
"This thing looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, but don't let appearances scare you. It's really comfortable, fits snugly like it needs to, and is great for the extra-large crowd. It has an easy-to-get-to release button as well. Lots of tight, pleasurable pressure to easily get the job done. The sleek look and easy-to-clean design make it as cool looking as it is functional."
- Rog Reviews

Foaming Intimacy Lubricant
"My instant thought was 'WOW' – it's a bit like having a tin of squirty whipped cream, without the calories! In action, this lube feels very nice and less messy than liquid lube because you can take a dollop of foam to where it is needed without leaving a trail of accidental dribble. And it's very sexy seeing my partner's cock peep through the foam. A very erotic, visually exciting element added to our foreplay! I would definitely recommend this over liquid lubricants - I'm converted!"
- Sex Toy Testers
