Organize.com was founded in 1998 by President, Terry Shearer as a retail store named Organize Everything. His strategy and business plan was to open a convenient retail store to shop for storage and organization solutions. There were no other stores of its kind within 50 miles when the small business owner opened the doors of a 9,000 square foot retail store in Riverside, CA. It was one of the first independently owned stores in Southern California dedicated to selling Storage and Organization products to help customers organize and simplify their lives.
In 1999, we began to successfully sell products on the internet, and two years later, Terry launched HangerCity.com and then TheStorageStore.com. Along with these additions, we developed several strategic partnerships with vendors and other leaders in the industry. The brick and mortar store paved the road to expand into the ‘world of retailing’ on the Internet.
As online sales continued to grow, Organize Everything added a 44,000 square foot Internet and Processing Center to the operation. Our passion to offer high quality products at a reasonable price remained the goal, but business development and merchandising efforts then shifted to the website.
Organize Everything became a “NEAT” storefront that could now sit before the customer in the convenience of their own home or office while they shop on the Internet. Organize Everything’s focus was centered on how to make the shopping experience easy and convenient for the customer. We continually updated and improved the site, content, services and functionality. Most of the decisions to make changes were based on suggestions from the customers and we constantly sought new and innovative products.
In 2005, Organize Everything acquired the domain name, Organize.com. Today, we are a privately owned business that operates with the same philosophy as the day our doors first opened. Organize.com continues to work with original vendors, who have been more like friends, and still strives to offer customers what they have come to know and expect. Organize.com tests hundreds of product submissions each year looking for the ‘best of the best’, as well as developing products of our own if what we want can’t be found.
Organize.com maintains partnerships with Amazon.com, Cooking.com, Shop.com and HGTV.com. The web resource magazine Internet Retailer lists Organize.com in the Top 500 Retail Websites and among their Hot 100 for 2009. Organize.com is also listed by Inc. Magazine as one of the 5000 fastest growing companies in the United States for 2008.
We attribute the success of the business to our amazing staff. Every employee takes great pride in their dedication and commitment. From Order Entry to the Shipping Department, each individual is committed to making sure packages arrive looking like ‘the birthday present you always wanted’. We continually strive to make it easy and to do the work for our customer as they shop at Organize.com. |
