Romantic Depot Sexologist
(NEW YORK / May 7, 2024) — Romantic Depot, legacy brick-and-mortar retailer in the intimate apparel and sexual wellness space, recently found itself in the spotlight after being featured in Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue.
The exposure stemmed from a segment on Fox News covering former President Donald Trump’s visit to a Broadway-based convenience store in Manhattan. The Hamilton Heights bodega is located 30 feet away from Romantic Depot’s Manhattan location, one of their 12 brick-and-mortar locations.
During Trump’s visit, Romantic Depot employees stood outside of the sexual wellness superstore as they held up a red, 15-foot horizontal banner emblazoned with the words TRUMP DILDOS ON SALE NOW!
Glen Buzzetti, CEO of Romantic Depot, expressed excitement about the unexpected media attention, stating, “Our team acted swiftly to seize this marketing opportunity by creating the red and white banner which boasted, Trump Dildos On Sale Now! This was a teaser to our forthcoming Trump and Biden-themed collection of Presidential Deal-Dos novelty products from Naughty USA Products, LLC.”
While Fox News did not air the footage of Romantic Depot’s presence next to the rally, one anchor re-capped the spectacle for Fox viewers.
“Employees of the Romantic Depot […] waved a red banner advertising a product named after Donald Trump.” He stated, ” I have no idea what that is!” which elicited nervous laughter from the other anchors.
Kimmel subsequently aired the edited Fox News clip, highlighting the banner held by smiling Romantic Depot employees.
“Well, I know what it is. This is not a joke,” quipped Kimmel. He continued, “That product is this: ‘TRUMP DILDOS ON SALE NOW!’ That’s the product. And what could be more romantic than a Depot, you know?”
Buzzetti emphasized that the grassroots marketing initiative has positively impacted Romantic Depot’s local and national visibility, noting a significant increase in retail store foot traffic and online engagement. “The mention on Fox News was remarkable, but to have Jimmy Kimmel take notice exceeded our expectations. Our goal at Romantic Depot is to bring joy and satisfaction to our customers,” he added. The nationwide recognition we’ve received reaffirms our commitment to delivering innovative products and memorable experiences for all.”
