Probus OneTouch Ranks 5th of Mass Merchants in 2011 Internet Retailer 500 Guide

PLYMOUTH, Minnesota (July 28, 2011)–Probus OneTouch, an Internet retailer that sells across multiple online channels, announced today that it ranked 5th for mass merchants among the top 500 online retailers recognized by Internet Retailer magazine in 2011. The rankings were based on annual 2010 Internet sales, researched by Internet Retailer and confirmed by retailers.

The IR 500 “who’s who” guide to the largest up-and-coming e-commerce companies in North America includes rankings, profiles, financial and operating statistics, vendors in key categories, and other comparable data.

“The Probus OneTouch ranking by Internet Retailer reinforces our belief that to be successful you must remain agile and flexible in this customer driven marketplace,” said John Ostman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Probus. “Our philosophy of ‘data driven decision making’ has enabled us to leverage our core competencies in creating a highly relevant shopping experience.”

The recognition by Internet Retailer is the latest in a series of awards that Probus OneTouch has received in the past year. Recently, Probus ranked as the 24th fastest growing retailer on the Inc. 500 list and the 4th fastest growing privately held business in Minnesota for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal. According to Ostman, “This new recognition by Internet Retailer along with the Inc. 500/5000 and Minnesota Fast 50 awards continues to be an indicator that our customer focused strategy and market positioning is on target.”

Probus OneTouch currently owns and operates six e-commerce stores, with products sold across multiple online channels, and a local outlet store based out of the company’s warehouse in Plymouth, Minnesota. Probus has also launched a new social media services division that leverages its knowledge of the online marketplace.
