To the Toppermost of the Poppermost!

In Announcements,Awards on May 5, 2010 by Sam Tagged: ,

In 2009 Online Stores, Inc. continued its climb to the top of the e-commerce heap, coming in at an attractive number 27 in the mass merchants category of the Internet Retailer’s list of the top 500 online merchants known to man. The Top 500 Guide, as the list is known, is the only authoritative ranking of the nation’s most successful e-retailers.

In the previous edition of the The Top 500 Guide, OLS saw itself ranked at number 28 in the mass merchants category. Number 28 is a nice place to be, but OLS is a company that is constantly striving to better itself in any way possible.

OLS’ rise in the rankings can surely be attributed to the success of its new stores. Landscapersstore.com, for example, has been winning the praise of many members of the landscaping community, and after only a few short months of existence, DefibExperts.com, a site selling Automated External Defibrillators, or AEDs, is already a runaway success.

The Social Media and Advertising Departments at OLS also deserve much of the credit for helping the company improve its position on the list. Headed up by some of OLS’ brightest and most brilliant employees, these two departments have striven valiantly to bring the company more valuable recognition.

I sure hope OLS isn’t afraid of heights, because it certainly appears this company truly is going straight to the top!!

Employee of the Month – May 2010

In Featured Employees on May 1, 2010 by Sam Tagged:

You may remember Mr. Vincent Fedorchak from last month’s Featured Employee Profile. Well, he is back once more, this time as the Online Stores Employee of the Month. His passionate dedication to excellence in his role as Safety Product Specialist has put him in something of a spotlight these past couple months, and the attention is well deserved. Vince is one of the hardest working employees we have here at Online Stores. In fact, he has often taken unfinished work home to make sure he is always on top of his responsibilities, something that is neither expected, nor asked of him. Vince is a model of efficiency and work ethic, and his value to the Merchandising Department, as well as the entire company, has not gone unnoticed.

Even with all of his hard work, Vince still finds the time to sit back and relax. Upon returning home each day, Vince finds his best friend “Syd” the cat waiting and purring for him. After spending time lovingly massaging Syd’s furred back, Vince kicks back with his guitar to play some of his favorite songs. You may remember reading that Vince is also an avid fan of chess, often playing competitively in a tournament setting. Chess is a game of intelligence, strategy and perseverance, traits that Vince is able to translate directly to the workplace.

You may remember mention of Vince’s fantastic sense of humor. Vince loves to joke around, and is always making the people around him laugh. In fact, when interviewing Vince for this article, he told me that he was “bore from the egg of a freshwater crocodile.” He also spoke about his brief stint of acting,providing the musical voiceover in the commercial for the board game “Crossfire”. He once broke his foot while too hastily lacing his shoes, and that he even rode a bottle nosed dolphin for several hours; on land. It is clever yarns like this, added in with his skillfulness and devotion, which make Vincent Fedorchak a pleasure to work with.

Congratulations Vince, on being this month’s Employee of the Month!
