Lovers Can Try Kama Sutra on the Internet
The first annual Kama Sutra Day, a worldwide celebration of all things related to the ancient love manual, has reached a global audience of lovers across the Internet.
The official “day of romance” is a collaboration between Kama Sutra, a manufacturer of romance and intimacy items, and iKamasutra, a Kama Sutra smartphone app.
The cross promotion has led to an unprecedented 330% increase in sales at the Kama Sutra online store and 243,000 downloads in a single day for the iKamasutra app, claims The Kama Sutra Company.

The joint promotion, launched on Kama Sutra Day August 16th, allows iKamasutra users to experience a new way to spice up the bedroom with an exclusive coupon code for www.kamasutra.com. There are over 60 items to “make love better,” including luxurious body oils, body paints, bath and massage products.

iKamasutra is a mobile app that has codified thousands of years of Kama Sutra experimentation into the modern context of smartphones. In honor of Kama Sutra Day, the app is on sale for $0.99, but with the influx of new users, Cesur says the iKamasutra promotion will be extended until September 7th, 2011.

Bolstad and Cesur hope Kama Sutra Day’s message of happiness and freedom will spark more lovers to “spread the love.”
“If they download the app or buy more romantic accessories to make the bedroom even more exciting, all the better,” says Bolstad.
