owing private company this year.

08.25.2011– Inc. magazine recently released its annual list of the 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America and Clickstop, Inc. broke into the top 1,000 this year by moving up to number 913th for 2011. The prestigious Inc. award ranks US-based businesses with minimum revenue of $2 million in 2010 according to a percentage of revenue growth over the previous three years. Clickstop’s three-year growth was 334%. The e-commerce business first made the Inc. 500|5000 list in the fall of 2010 with a ranking of 1122nd.

Inc. magazine collects demographic data for each company, which ranked Clickstop as the 4th fastest-growing company in the state of Iowa this year. It also ranked the Urbana-based company as the 37th fastest-growing amongst other companies identified as retailers nationwide, and 1st for retailers in Iowa.

"Two years in a row on the Inc. list shows we’re doing the right things to continue to grow in today’s marketplace amongst a field of strong competitors," said Clickstop CEO Tim Guenther. "It’s gratifying to see our continued efforts moving us up the list." 

Clickstop's growth is due to a combination of factors including excellent customer service, product experts on staff, aggressive online marketing strategies, and a razor focus on specialty categories where customers are under served. This year the company expanded into a new 35,000 square foot facility where it can continue to fulfill company goals of extensive product selection and fast shipping while increasing its presence in current and new target markets.

“We’ve experimented and tested to learn exactly what activities move the needle in our industry, and we’ve built a team that focuses on making it happen – it’s a great place to be,” said Clickstop VP and CTO Shaun Linderbaum.
