With sales that increased 47.1% to $1.75 million in 2010 from $1.19 million in 2009, The Pond Guy (No. 898) is the fastest-growing cataloger in the Second 500, followed by Mack’s Prairie Wings Inc. (No. 535), a direct marketer of waterfowl-specific hunting equipment and clothing, which racked up 2010 e-commerce revenue of $11.0 million. The Pond Guy is growing online by using the web to become among the most knowledgeable retailers of water garden supplies. “Catalogs taught us all about content being king and how to get a lot more web business out of our existing customers,” says general manager Joe Mejia.
