RENO, NV, MAY 14, 2010: Knitters as Business Trailblazers? According to Dell Computer, they are!
Reno-based Jimmy Beans Wool has once again joined the ranks of superstar businesses in the U.S.: this time they've been recognized as a prestigious Dell Business Trailblazer alongside such companies as Lonely Planet, LinkedIn, and CakeLove.
As of this writing, Dell Computer has recognized and profiled only 36 businesses on their small business Trailblazer website: http://dellcustomerstories.com/trailblazers. The Dell Trailblazer initiative has included full page print ads, commercials, and mentions throughout the Dell.com website. Only 5 retail companies were recognized as Trailblazers, JimmyBeansWool.com being one of them...and the only business in Reno.
So what exactly are Business Trailblazers? According to Dell:
"Some paths are laid out. Some are discovered. Some travelers find their passion along the way. Some know where they're going before they've been there. These are the stories of those rugged individuals that have made their way through the labyrinth of business and found their own path to success."
"To be noticed by a company as influential as Dell is incredibly flattering," says Laura Zander, co-owner of the knitting and crochet e-retailer. "And of course, we're big fans of Dell as well... we've admired their products and service from day one," says Zander. "Our business has grown exponentially over the last 8 years and we couldn't have done it without the speed, reliability and durability of our Dell computer systems."
