HIGHTSTOWN, NJ — The votes are in and East Coast News, the global leader in adult novelty distribution, won big at last night’s inaugural “O” Awards, held in conjunction with AVN’s Adult Novelty Expo in Universal City, CA.

ECN snagged the top award for “Outstanding Distributor – East” at the ceremony, which took place at the Sheraton Universal and Hilton Los Angeles. Described as ‘part awards ceremony, part cocktail party, all fun,’ the first “O” Awards event honored outstanding achievement in the pleasure product industry.

ECN was recognized for “exceptional service and sales of a distributor,” and sales executives from all three ECN locations couldn’t be happier! Says Alan Mandell, ECN Sales Manager: “Our award is a tribute to the ECN sales team and our commitment to the best customer service in the industry. East Coast News is dedicated to partnering with our customers to help them succeed in a way that is innovative and profitable. It’s this commitment that separates us from our competition.”

Winners at the 2009 “O” Awards were originally nominated by industry professionals and from there, an advisory panel of more than 100 industry insiders, AVN novelty writers and reviewers cast their votes.

Says Frankie Kay, ECN chief: “Adult store buyers have been doing business with us for nearly 15 years. This award proves that superior customer service is a cornerstone of the ECN philosophy. Our entire sales staff appreciates each and every customer, and we hope they see the difference when doing business with us.”

Expect some exciting summer sales to celebrate this honor! Current customers: please contact your ECN Sales Representative for more information.
