GrowFL Nominee Write Up:
“GloFX prides itself on the fact that the company has seen extremely fast and high revenue growth since 2009. Going into GloFX’s 5th (official) year of business, it is still growing at an amazing rate, with website traffic being up 100% year-over for 5 years in a row. With a dedicated customer service staff that is oriented around meeting all of our customers needs, there is no question as to why GloFX has grown so quickly in such a short amount of time. GloFX has been a force in entrepreneurial leadership, using technology to enhance the traditional sunglasses industry into diffraction glasses, which has become an entire industry on it’s own.
GloFX is not only concerned with the bottom line. Civic and community involvement is something that is taken very seriously within the company. GloFX has given back to the community in a number of ways, including a scholarship for students and an internship program endorsed and recognized by the Florida State University that students can participate in to receive valuable experience and college credit. With 100% employee growth in just the last year, GloFX has earned a reputation as being a great place to work in the North Florida/South Georgia area.
GloFX treats environmental consciousness as a top priority. The use of recyclable materials as well as maintaining a non-print, all digital catalog, are just two of many practices that help GloFX keep its carbon footprint at sustainable levels.
Instead of focusing on just a handful of markets like their competition, GloFX is always finding new ways to expand on existing markets. GloFX’s dedicated digital marketing staff is constantly reaching out to market influencers to forge new relationships, and has developed incredibly efficient pay-per-click advertising campaigns. Being part of such a dynamic industry, there is no telling what markets GloFX could break into in the coming years. However, one thing is certain, and that is that the future is bright for GloFX.”
