In an industry that’s all about connection, personal lube brand JO is making sure the people on the front lines feel the love—and the cash. The company is in the middle of its massive $100,000 Retail Giveaway, and for May, it just dropped a cool $8,000 on 40 deserving retail associates across the globe whose hard work and passion are making a real difference.
More Than Just a Sale
Let’s be real: walking into an adult store can be intimidating for some. It’s the knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic staff who turn a nervous visit into an empowering shopping spree. JO is putting its money where its mouth is, recognizing that these associates are the true MVPs of the retail experience. They’re not just stocking shelves; they’re educators, confidantes, and expert guides.
As one brand rep told AVN, the whole point is to celebrate the salespeople who “bring JO to life at retail, from expert product knowledge to warm customer care.”
Joshua Cash, the contest coordinator, drove the point home in a statement shared with XBIZ, perfectly capturing the spirit of the giveaway:
“Our goal with this giveaway is to directly thank and reward the individuals who are the face of our brand in stores every day.”
It’s a powerful nod to the human element in an increasingly digital world, proving that a great in-person experience is still king.

The prize pool for May was split among 40 winners, with ten lucky associates snagging a hefty $500 Visa gift card and thirty others banking a sweet $100.
