While staying pretty much under everyone's radar, the UK business has got off to a good start with sales on an annual run-rate of about Â£6 million ($10 million). CEO Tony Ellison is interested in further international expansion and says he is interested in Brazil. Back in the US, Ellison and his team have been quietly building up Shoplet's product portfolio, recently reaching the milestone of one million products available on Shoplet.com, with over half of these responding to buyers' sustainable development requirements as the reseller pushes socially responsible purchasing. The end of 2013 also saw a company rebranding with a new in-house-designed logo that underscores Shoplet's business supplies and green credentials.

Shoplet founder and CEO Tony Ellison said: "We are especially honoured to receive this award given that is based on creativity, innovation, and demonstrating leadership in our industry. Internet Retailer's Hot 100 List is extremely competitive, especially since this year websites from Europe and Latin America were considered for the list as well."

As internet purchasing continues on its upwards spiral, OP e-tailer Shoplet.com continues to grow. CEO Tony Ellison says: "To support the tremendous growth experienced by Shoplet for the third time in five years, the company moved to new beautiful and bigger headquarters." Ellison says his growth drivers are "concentrating and engaging existing customers to drive better conversion rates, to increase customer lifetime value, and to increase customer wallet share size". He points to social media as "one of the key initiatives that drove our unprecedented growth in 2011." However, the company's biggest development for the year was the launch of a mobile version of its website, which is a full version of its main website.

"We owe our success to our loyal customers and employees," said founder and CEO Tony Ellison. "In pursuit of the proverbial 'perfect order,' we are dedicated to continuous improvement, trying to stay one step ahead of the field and finding new ways to positively enhance our customers' shopping experiences. "While the economy remained sluggish in 2010, Shoplet continued its unprecedented growth by listening to our customers and creating a dynamic platform that enables them to obtain all of their office and business supplies."

Despite the severity of the downturn and the business market's overall economic conditions, Shoplet has been able to achieve 48 straight quarters of profitable growth. "We are very pleased to experience this type of sales growth especially given the realities of the overall conditions of the economy," said founder and CEO Tony Ellison. During 2008, Shoplet continued to expand its single-source model by launching new product categories such as corrugated boxes and shipping mailroom supplies. Like many other dealers, Shoplet saw its biggest growth in the cleaning, maintenance and break room segments.

As one of just a few sizeable pure eCommerce OP companies, Tony Ellison has captured the needs and wants of the market perfectly. Having founded Shoplet.com in 1994, ahead of the eCom boom of the late 1990s, his company was profitable before others had even thought of a web shop. 2007 was another banner year for Shoplet with tremendous growth figures, says Ellison. And as the internet becomes the medium of choice for customers, he considers his company to be very well positioned in capitalising on this trend. Last year saw the successful launch of its ShopGreen initiative, a section on its website that offers over 20,000 eco-friendly products. In just a short time, Shoplet has become one of the largest providers of eco-friendly products in the OP sector.

Founder and CEO of Shoplet Tony Ellison is carefully steering his company forward and taking advantage of the rapidly growing eCommerce sector. Founded in 1994 and profitable since 1997, the company now sees triple-digit growth year on year. Such has been the extent of its growth that Shoplet has had to relocate its HQ to larger premises for the second time in only three years. Government contracts and a focus on the SMB market have helped boost Shoplet's sales and Ellison has strong ambitions for the company. He said: "We experienced a phenomenal 2006 and weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re looking forward to 2007 as another banner year."

Shoplet CEO Tony Ellison remains one of the few online success stories in the OP industry. In recent years, Ellison has boosted the company coffers by securing GSA contracts. This success continued over the last year with Shoplet picking up deals to supply the US federal government with jan/san and breakroom products and a two-year contract to supply the State of New York's Office of General Services. Shoplet also formed an advisory council in August 2005, including OP consultant Jeff Hewson and Ron Shaw of Pilot Pen. Prior to starting up Shoplet.com, Ellison worked at Goldman Sachs & Co in the private client services division

Tony Ellison, president/CEO of online OP retailer Shoplet.com, enjoyed a productive 2004 as his company celebrated its 10th anniversary. Last year, Ellison oversaw the firm's full scale integration with Ariba's eprocurement engine and benefited handsomely from the opening up of government OP supply contracts. Shoplet secured two five-year general services administration (GSA) contracts to supply OP and IT equipment. The firm has also set up a GSA private net allowing GSA buyers to search and acquire more than 48,000 products. Prior to starting up Shoplet.com, Ellison worked with Goldman Sachs & Co in the private client services division.

Tony Ellison is president/CEO of that rare beast - a pureplay e-marketplace that apparently makes money. Ellison founded Shoplet.com in 1994 and claims to have become profitable within three years. Shoplet.com, which offers more than 1,000,000 SKUs to some two million subscribers, continues to enjoy impressive growth. Among last year's highlights were a three-year contract to supply the state of Virginia, and a partnership with CNET Networks to power online shopping engines. Prior to starting up Shoplet.com, Ellison worked with Goldman Sachs & Co in the private client services division.
