Hippo Inc
This leading seller of bellman carts for over a decade was the business that I built from scratch when I began learning Internet marketing. It took ingenuity to identify the opportunity and build the initial lead gen opportunity back in 2002 in FrontPage. But over time, it grew to sell millions of dollars to the hospitality industry with a small group of friends. All of it was drop shipped and all sales took place on our own web sites.
Steady E-commerce Growth for over a Decade
Our flagship site was Bellman Cart Solutions, which sold more bellman carts than any other place online. Our multiple vendors and hundreds of products with thousands of options were valued partners while my small salesforce learned the ins and outs of all things bellman carts. We expanded to waste receptacles, crowd control, and many other products.
Over time, we sold millions of dollars worth of product to the hospitality industry until we closed our doors in 2014. Like any business owner, I made my mistakes in running this business, but I also learned a lot. I will always appreciate the many people I worked with along the way. Many have become lifelong friends.
