Fogdog began its life as a California based, online sporting goods retailer in 1998. A casualty of the 2000 dot-com bust, GSI Commerce (now Radial, Inc., www.radial.com), acquired the company later that year. Radial is reinvesting in and reinventing the Fogdog brand. With over 15 years of dropship experience, a projected 20M+ unique visitors, and the backing of one of the largest ecommerce providers in the country, Fogdog is poised for explosive growth. Radial also uses Fogdog to identify top performing vendors that can be introduced to Radial’s 100+ retail clients.
Radial is relaunching the Fogdog brand. They are rebuilding systems, teams, and relationships. In preparation for the relaunch of their web-site, Fogdog is partnering with SPS Commerce to significantly grow their product assortment, across a wide range of categories, with the goal of adding 250+ supplier relationships in the next 6 months. With these new partnerships, they hope to attract new customers, jump start the sales for Fogdog, and develop relationships that can benefit their ecommerce clients.
