Los Angeles, CA – (August 29, 2022) – 2022 AVN Best Enhancement Manufacturer Wicked Sensual Care is shining its Retail Employee Spotlight on Emily Cattafi of Fantasy Gifts in Turnersville, New Jersey. Located at 5101 Black Horse Pike, Fantasy Gifts carries an extensive selection of adult novelties, toys, lubricants, games, movies, lingerie, and bath and body merchandise.
“I got into adult retail like a lot of people – by accident,” revealed Emily. “I was a 19 year old new mom and needed a job that would allow me some flexibility to raise my daughter Kenzie. I was fortunate that my aunt, Kathy Randazzo, was working at Fantasy Gifts. When I first interviewed I was hired as a retail sales clerk working part time. I found I really liked the job and my co-workers, and I was fortunate that they were pretty good about giving me a flexible schedule. Over time, I started working more and more in the back office and warehouse. From there, I was promoted to warehouse manager. In three years I have now worked my way up to General Manager and I’ve been going to tradeshows as the buyer for both of our New Jersey locations.” (Fantasy Gifts’ second New Jersey store is located at 731 W. Route 70 in Marlton.)
Known for their welcoming atmosphere and professional staff, the Fantasy Gifts stores have garnered numerous raves on Google and Yelp, with one five-star Google reviewer enthusing, “I went in on a Friday evening and the store had a very wide variety of products. The staff was very knowledgeable and they went out of their way to help with our questions. I highly recommend going there for your adult gifts!”
Emily credits a positive attitude for propelling her meteoric ascension up the corporate ladder. “Working in retail, especially adult retail, is not always easy. We have to deal with irate customers and unreliable employees. But I’ve learned that as long as I face every obstacle with a smile on my face, I can easily overcome anything that is thrown my way.”
While Emily appreciates the independence, flexibility, and personal fulfillment her career provides, being part of the Fantasy Gifts company family is what makes her work especially rewarding. “The thing I enjoy most about my job is working with my co-workers. The back office at Fantasy Gifts New Jersey has a very collaborative atmosphere. We all work together to make our stores successful. I enjoy coming to work each and every day!”
“Emily Cattafi is enjoying an inspiring career in the pleasure space,” observed Wicked Sensual Care Sales Director Jennifer Brice. “Many retail buyers don’t work directly with customers on the sales floor, so the kind of retail experience Emily possesses gives her invaluable insight into consumer tastes and how they’re tied to the latest trends and market conditions. We’re thrilled to see her thrive at such a wonderful company.”
A value-driven leader with a deep sense of purpose and responsibility, Emily seeks to inspire others and create positive change. She encourages those around her to have a clear understanding of their values and believes a grateful leader is a powerful leader, as gratitude breeds positive interactions, increases engagement, and builds resilience. “Be proud of who you are and what you do for a living,” said Emily. “I’m proud to be a part of an industry that is sex-positive and female friendly. I like knowing that I help customers achieve their best selves in the area of sexual health and wellness. And I like selling products like the Wicked Sensual Care lubricants where I can trust the manufacturer and the products they are producing.”
