Sex Sells For Drugstore.com
from the drugstore-porn dept
Well, you're never going to generate much surprise when you tell people that "sex sells". However, Drugstore.com is taking that concept to another level. After realizing that there was tremendous demand for the "sexual well being" products, they've now opened an entire site based on sexual well-being, in order to drive more sales. While they claim it's been done tastefully and carefully, other companies have had difficulty in the past with investors who shy away from any company that openly admits that sex sells.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
