Local stores charge you double of online sex toy shops. This is an open secret.
And it’s understandable. They have a rent and salary to pay. While online shops have to pay their employees too, chances are, they have a lower number of employees compared to a brick-and-mortar shop.
Online shops also don’t have to pay for security cameras and POS machines.
According to one customer, their local store sold a $40 wand for $150. They also got the Magic Wand for $65 online whereas their local store had it listed as $120.
There are local sex shops where the markup is as high as 400%.
If you do find a local shop where the toy is cheaper in person, you can be certain there is some sort of defect with the toy.
Local sex stores also have a “The price is the price,” attitude. You will be hard-pressed to find any discount. Any discount you might get would be a promise of you visiting the store in the future and getting it if you are a regular customer.
Meanwhile, online sex shops have some kinds of discounts, deals, and sales ongoing year-round in these shops.
Here are some ways you can take advantage of these offers from online stores:
1. Check for a Reward Program:
Some stores have a reward program. For every action you take in the store, you are credited store cash or points. For example, if you sign up on XOXTOYS, you get 100 XOX Cash. This is redeemable as a $5 coupon.
The way these reward programs work is the more you share and buy from the store, the more you will receive. You can then use it to get discounts on your next purchase.
2. Look for Discounts
Now, discounts are usually hidden in plain view on most websites. If this is your first time buying from the store, check for a “Apply Discount” option during checkout.
You will usually find some sort of coupon code.
You can also search for a product and then check the filtering options. There is a good chance you can filter products by whether they have a 10%, 20%, or 50% discount and so on.
And if you don’t want to go through all this trouble, just search “coupon code + name of the online sex shop.”
You will get multiple websites like CouponBirds. These websites keep a running list of discounts and coupons available on a website.
These websites also offer free shipping if your purchase amount crosses a certain price range.

3. Referral Discounts
Some stores will provide you with a referral code. If someone you recommend the store to buys a product with your referral code, both of you will get a generous discount.
Some people have made a business out of this. They review sex toys online and their loyal audience buys the items based on the creator’s referral.
While you don’t need to become a content creator, there is no reason you can’t refer items you liked to your friends or in online communities.
If you can’t find these referral programs or reward programs, scroll down to the bottom of the website. Almost all the links are nestled there, including a store’s privacy and return policies.
Summary
Online shopping for sex toys ensures affordability and great deals compared to local brick-and-mortar stores. The high operational cost of local stores equates to marked-up prices, while online retailers benefit from lower overhead costs, leading to better deals and discounts.
Evidently, online sex toy shops have frequent discounts, deals, and sales. Here are three ways you could leverage these offers:
Reward programs: Many online stores offer reward programs, incentivizing actions like signing up or frequent purchases with store credit or points, redeemable against future purchases.
Discounts: Discounts are often available on the website, either as an 'Apply Discount' option during checkout or in the product filtering options. Searching for "coupon code + name of the online sex shop" also helps to find available discounts. Additionally, purchases may qualify for free shipping if they are above a certain price.
Referral discounts: Referral programs in online stores offer discounts to referrer and referee alike. While some people make a business from creating reviews and providing referral codes, individuals can also share their referral codes or liked items with friends or online communities.
If information about referral or reward programs isn't immediately visible, they can usually be found at the bottom of the website, along with the store's privacy and return policies.
In essence, online sex toy shopping can be a practical and economical option, with an array of opportunities to optimize your purchases and get the best deals possible.
