As all can tell by my signature, I work for Adam & Eve.

We are starting a continual promotion of having a pre-release offered at adameve.com. Currently, we are offering Euphoria DVD from Wicked Pictures. Along with the DVD, the customer gets $5.00 off the regular retail price, an autographed copy, and a free 30-day membership card to Wicked's website, wickedpictures.com.

As this type of promotion continues to develop, I would like to know what other incentives people might be looking for.

We are in contact with other production companies (ncluding Vivid, Simon Wolf Productions, and Jill Kelly) and are beginning to schedule future titles for pre-release sales.

What would entice you to buy a pre-release title from adameve.com?

These are very reasonable sorts of goodies to include. Another that might be useful is including coupons for buyers (preferably good at most internet retailers e.g. DVD Advantage, or, Adult DVD Empire) that would be good for xx% off on your next DVD purchase. Or maybe the coupon is only good on your web site, but you agree to match the lowest price PRIOR to applying the coupon.
This is an entirely different question. Enticing me to buy from Adam & Eve would require that you carry the types of titles that I enjoy. Most of the A&E, Vivid, JK, etc. titles are very couples oriented - not my cup of tea! If you were to carry Private, Anabolic/Diabolic, Evil Angel, Marc Dorcel, etc. with incentives that were attractive, I would be sending a lot of business your way!

@BJones...
Since you're one of the main guys at Adam and Eve, I'd like to know why most of your skin flicks employ slow motion techniques instead of natural motion?
If I want to see slow motion, I use the slow motion mode on my dvd player. Otherwise, leave it alone.
I once saw an entire porn movie in slow motion...a running length of 1 hour 23...IN REALITY, in natural motion it was just 35 minutes long.
Hmmm, maybe this is the real reason. Slow motion means you have to shoot less action!

Just like with mainstream DVD's, I would pre-order adult DVD's regularly if it meant that I would be receiving the best price for that disc.

In order for that to happen at AdamAndEve.com, you would need to make your prices more competitive in the first place in order for your ideas do have any affect.

I just went to your web site to see what kind of prices you have to determine whether a $5 discount would entice me to purchase from you. In looking at the first title on the first four pages of your "What's New" DVD page, I found "100% Jill", "Girl's Only: Jenteal", "Quiver" and "THe Joy of Erotic Massage" prices at $29.95, $29.95, $29.95 and $24.95 respectively.

Doing a price search on those titles at ADT, I find that they are available for $14.90, $19.95, $16.90 and $14.90 respectively.

If you take the $5.00 pre-order discount into account, the best deal that you would be offering is for us to pay an extra $5.00 in order to receive an autographed copy and a 30 day membership at Wicked's web site.

That's not going to do it for me.

Forget the other crap. Since pre-orders completely eliminate your inventory costs, give people the best price that they will find for placing that pre-order. Otherwise, they will just wait until it is released and buy is for substancially less than you are selling it for.
