11/22/05 - Bulbs.Com Recognized As A Massachusetts Top Growth Company For Second Year In A Row

Light Bulb Superstore Ranked #7 In Central Massachusetts

Worcester, Mass., —November 22, 2005 - bulbs.com, considered among the fastest growing lighting distributors in the United States, was recognized for the second consecutive year by the Worcester Business Journal as a Central Massachusetts Top Growth Company in their 2005 survey.

In considering the Top Growth Companies the Worcester Business Journal ranks each company against a wide range of performance criteria including revenue growth, employment growth, profitability as well as a number of subjective measures that include net assets or stockholder equity and growth philosophy.

"Our revenue goal for 2005 was to grow by over 45%", said Steve Rothschild, CEO of bulbs.com. "We expected to accomplish our goal by maintaining a very aggressive posture on the web as well as double the size of our Sales staff. With the close of October 2005 financials, we are substantially exceeding our revenue goals with revenue up 53% over prior year and we’ve set revenue records for three consecutive months while acquiring over 1,200 new business clients per month. We plan on placing bulbs.com on the Top Growth Company List again next year too – perhaps even higher than #7", predicts Rothschild. The company plans to continue the growth track into 2006 by expanding its call center and improving the technology platform. "
