- Getting permits for selling sex toys can be difficult, depending on where you live. Some states and local municipalities consider sex toy shops to be "pornography" or put them into the same category as strip clubs and bars. You may find that the places where your local government allows you to open a shop selling sex toys is limited and based on the location of other establishments, such as schools or churches.
- Sex toy businesses sell a wide variety of items. Deciding the quality and range of toys you offer is a key component of your business plan. Feminist sex stores, for example, often sell only products intended for use on a woman's genitalia, while other stores may focus on a specific brand or type of toy. Knowing your audience is key to deciding what kinds of sex toys you can sell.
- People who work in sex toy shops--or novelty shops as they are called in many places--must possess certain qualities. These employees must be discreet above all. They cannot share with others what certain customers bought. Employees who sell sex toys also must be able to speak about the products without embarrassment about them.
- The best location for a sex toy business is somewhere people can go and know they will be protected from others seeing them. Even married adults who are getting items for use with their spouses may not want others to see them at a sex toy store. For this reason, employees and a location that can protect confidentiality are necessities. Most sex toy stores also have evening and extended weekend hours when they will have the best business.
- Over the past few years, sex toy multilevel marketing companies--such as Pleasure Parties or Passion Parties--with a sex-toy theme have become popular. With this type of sex toy business, you host a party with friends where you will be able to ask questions, play a few games and have a good time. These parties are similar to a Tupperware party but more risque! Consultants keep some inventory on hand for demonstrations but make money through commission from catalog sales.

on 10/28/2009 I agree with all you say and I have heard recently that sex toy parties are big in the USA at the moment. Better still is when you can buy them on line as part of your business wwww.sexy-website.com
