ThinkGeek Climbs 18 Spots in Internet Retailer's 2010 Top 500 Guide
13 Maggio 2010 - 5:00PM
ThinkGeek, a Geeknet (Nasdaq:LNUX) company and the premier retailer
for the global geek community, announced today that it now ranks
232 for overall web sales, according to Internet Retailer's 2010
Top 500 Guide.
The Top 500 Guide is an annual report chronicling and analyzing
the largest 500 e-retailers in the United States. In last year's
guide, ThinkGeek ranked 250 in web sales.
"Innovative custom products and superior merchandising were
instrumental to ThinkGeek's success in 2009," said Caroline Offutt,
President and General Manager of ThinkGeek. "We continued to
produce products that appealed to people's inner-geek, which helped
to drive our increase in sales."
The success of custom ThinkGeek products such as the Tauntaun
Sleeping Bag and Electronic Rock Guitar Shirt, both best sellers
during the 2009 holiday season, shows that mainstream culture is
becoming more interested in geeky products.
"ThinkGeek grew online sales 24 percent last year in a very
difficult economic environment," said Kurt Peters, Internet
Retailer's Editor-in-Chief. "The company did a good job of thinking
through its business plan and diversifying its inventory with a
broader range of attractively priced products."
Internet Retailer's definitive ranking and analysis of America's
500 largest e-retailers is based on annual 2009 Internet sales,
researched by Internet Retailer and confirmed by retailers. This
report includes company financial, operational and performance
data, as well as vendors in key categories.
