After a successful sale of the business, and the migration of all the business operations and assets to the new ownership, plus the launch of two additional websites, we brought the story of PartyPail to a close in March of 2014.When we started up PartyPail, we put the experience I gained working at Web.com / Website Pros to work on a family oriented business, PartyPail.com. All totaled, we launched a total of 9 e-commerce websites devoted to the party supplies, paper goods, food services, baby shower, bridal shower, and birthday planning marketplace. This family friendly enterprise allowed my wife, our kids, and myself to spend some quality time together, and allowed us to maintain a great balance between professional and family time.The business achieved some pretty nice accolades along the way. We twice recognized by the Puget Sound Business Journal as one of Washington State's 100 fastest growing private companies in both 2011 and in 2012 . In fact, in 2011, we were the 9th fastest growing company on their list!Our business evolved around a unique operating model where we were able to bring together an amazing group of people under the concept of the "Mom Squad". This team allowed us to build a company culture where employee turnover was almost non-existent, and we allowed our team to maintain an incredible balance between work and personal lives. The very profitable and quickly growing business was sold in July of 2012 to the amazing folks at Hoffmaster Group, where I spent the next 20 months as the business unit President for their Direct To Consumer activities. During this time we launched a couple additional websites including a successful foray into the B2B marketplace. Show less
