Web-iversary (15th Anniversary on the Web)

This June we will celebrate 15 years on the World Wide Web… and, boy oh boy, have things changed! :)  When we first put up our website back in 1996 it was more about having an advantage in the industry and not so much of a necessity, but nowadays those tables have turned.  Fifteen years ago most of our business was generated through our extensive and thorough catalog.  Though the catalogs can still be a useful tool we have acknowledged the desire among consumers to surf the web to find new products, comparison deals, and to make purchases. 

 We began our site with only about 8 products and currently we have over 1000 - whoa quite a difference!  We have been able to provide greater amounts of information that no “conveniently” sized book could carry and we can consistently keep it updated, it’s a win-win situation for our customers.  As we look back at webpage’s past, take a trip down memory lane with us and check out how gardco.com has grown over the years…
