HAVE FUN WITH POPPERS JUPITER & LO
Here we are halfway through 2023. We want to highlight these this month as its Pride month and with so many events happening its certainly the right time to stock up
It is always an interesting journey to see if and how people react to new brands and 2023 was no different.. The most popular new brand was Red Bullet, with power pellet. No surprise I guess as it is made by the same manufacturer that created Berlin XXX. Other brands to keep an eye out for are Jungle Juice Gold Retro, Man of Steel & Fist Fuel
Another smart move is the introduction of the guest poppers and XXL from the classic brands, basically you get more of the same but at a better value. Even though the XXL 25ml are more expensive than the traditional 10ml, it contains more than twice the formula. Our regulars seem to be very happy with the increase in size. Who said size does not matter!
Let’s start with the slightly more boring bit, for another year Liquid Gold is the best seller. It has been like this for a good few years, I am not saying it is not well deserved, trust me Liquid Gold is awesome, but it would be nice to see a new number one for once. The more exciting news is about the brands that are fighting for the rest of the top 5 best sellers. The new number 2 is called a brand called Super Rush. We have had this on the store for a long time and the sales was fine but never great. Then suddenly word of mouth happens, and it is now flying. At the office we think the bland branding is the reason customers are not drawn to it at first sight, but once tried they keep coming back for more. Another newcomer in the top 5 is Power Rush, a more potent version of the traditional Rush Poppers. The rest of the top 5 is made up by Fist and Jungle Juice, no real surprise there.
What is next?
The short answer to that is plenty! We just launched a new range of Aroma toppers inhalers, the latest craze to hit the shops in Europe and now Belfast! Its a cool little rotating attachment for your aroma bottle, without coming into contact with the room fragrance.
All the bottles fit perfectly in your hand and the idea is that this might stop spillage or even dropping the bottle.
Another news flash is that we have already introduced Amsterdam Platinum to the local adult market. This will be a new import, again from Europe. We are excited by this as our product testers have been raving about these leather cleaners. With Amsterdam already being an established brand we believe this European version will be a big hit.
There you have it, the best of 2023 - Hopefully some of the above has generated some interest in brands you have not tried yet. As mentioned at the beginning, the time is now as the Pride event is on so check out Jupiter & Lo, Gresham Street, Belfast.
