Virtual Graffiti 2011 Sales Up On Demand For Networking, Security Products

VAR500 company Virtual Graffiti on Wednesay reported a record year with 2011 revenue hitting $30 million, a 28 percent increase from 2010.

The IT solution provider credited the sales growth to a pick up in customer demand for tech solutions and network security solutions. Out of a portfolio of nearly 1,000 network security products, Virtual Graffiti saw a 32 percent uptick in sales for this category in the past year.

Last year, Virtual Graffiti said it added 17,000 new clients and 30 new product lines. Virtual Graffiti's client base has expanded with strong demand from government and education organizations, Fortune 500 companies and small businesses. New customers include Accenture, Mercedes Benz, Kraft Foods, National Geographic, Walgreens, Oklahoma University, National Institutes of Health, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

"Our growth is a result of the company evolving into a new breed of IT solutions providers," said Hillel Sackstein, president and chief executive officer, Virtual Graffiti, in a statement. "Virtual Graffiti's unique business model combines the benefits of a traditional reseller and a large direct marketer through the thousands of well-curated products that we conveniently catalog on our website. However, we take the traditional approach one step further by adding customer-centric services that set us apart amid a highly competitive, growing industry."

The company's results marked the company's 10th consecutive year of rapid growth.

In addition to the company's more than 100 hardware and software product lines, Virtual Graffiti offers customers complimentary consultation with certified staff as well as educational tools on the products. It also provides micro-web sites for each of their product lines, each of which received more than 1.8 unique million visitors last year.
