TripShock Named to Inc. Magazine’s “5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America - 2016”
Santa Rosa Beach, FL (PRWEB) August 22, 2016 -- For two years in a row, TripShock.com has ranked among America's commerce leaders. The #553 placement on the Inc. 5000 confirms what many already know about the Florida-based tech startup... the company is here to stay. The annual list represents America's most successful privately owned businesses, and has contributed to the early success of household names including Yelp, Pandora, Newegg, and SNAP Fitness.
2015 was another year of expansion for TripShock. Not only did its loyal customer base grow, but the company was aided by developing strong partnerships across the Gulf Coast. That, combined with the acquisition of key destination domains including MyCrabIsland.com and FrenchQuarterAttractions.com, enabled TripShock to attract thousands of fresh customers to supplement its travel-hungry legion of regulars.
“Thanks to the tireless efforts of my staff, and to the belief in the company from all our providers, we were able to once again grab the brass ring,” said TripShock Owner and CEO, Greg Fisher. “Making this list last year was a tremendous accomplishment. Two years in a row proves it wasn’t just luck!”
Perhaps TripShock's most notable accomplishment in 2015 was breaking down the typical barriers preventing startups from stretching their legs- innovation. Through an automated reservation system, tour suppliers are now able to affordably and effortlessly move into the paperless age. And with the addition of TripShock's seamless white label portal, dozens of regional tourism entities have found ways to offer activities to their guests while at the same time monetizing the process.
Charging into late 2016 and 2017, TripShock.com will continue making web domain investments while overhauling its mobile and web presence into a sleek and simple design. Currently expanding its reach into Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, AL, TripShock is sure to see a return on the 2017 edition of the Inc. 5000.
Inc. Magazine was the first mass market publication to feature Steve Jobs on its cover. Founded in 1979, it originally tracked the Top 500 growing companies in the nation. Accounting for a broadening entrepreneurial landscape, the magazine expanded to 5000.
TripShock.com is the Gulf Coast’s largest outdoor activity and travel site. Founded in 2009 with one fishing charter offer, its inventory currently includes over 200 tours and excursions in NW Florida, Coastal Alabama, and New Orleans. The company’s call center is 100% staffed with local Customer Service Representatives, and its real-time mobile booking capabilities make it a favorite among visitors and locals.
