History
editOfficially presented to the public in April 2010 at the International Lingerie Show in Las Vegas, Nevada,[2] the company was started by Internetmarketing-Miami, LLC.[3] Deriving its company name from the Italian word “kisses”, the company invested huge amount of money in advertising and marketing campaigns[4] and exhibiting at several industry shows around the world, like Venus Fair in Berlin, Germany during October 2010[5] and Salon de la Lingerie Show in Paris, France, in January 2011.[6]
Products and marketing
editThe shoots have featured castles in Southern Germany, the United Kingdom, and France.[7] The resulting images are used in Baci's packaging, website, and catalogs.[8]

Baci Lingerie provides tools for retailers in merchandising and marketing, including planograms,[10] creative events (including the Baci Lash Bar),[11][12] educational tools (newsletters, merchandising plans, seminars, blogs),[13] and contests.[14]

Bra Recyclers
editBaci Lingerie supported The Bra Recyclers in its drive to collect 15,000 bras in October 2012 to help raise awareness of Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence Month.[20] The Bra Recyclers is a textile recycling company that specializes in recycling and reusing bras that would unnecessarily go to landfills, and assist in providing deserving women with used or unused bras as they transition back to self-sufficiency.[21]
