Miva Staff Kick Back for a Day of Feasting and Fun

Written by Miva | Nov 25, 2013
 
FACT: Miva employees typically love their jobs and work very hard.

FACT: They know how to have fun, too!

Nearly 100 Miva Merchant employees, family members and guests assembled one Saturday afternoon recently for the company’s annual barbecue, held at the home of Miva CEO Russ Carroll.  This year the event was commemorating Miva’s 17 years of bringing ecommerce solutions to a cumulative 300,000 online merchants to date.  The annual get-together lets staff mingle outside the work environment, where high work volume and physical separation doesn’t allow all employees to spend time together.  Traveling the farthest to attend was Jen Ferraz of Miva’s Tampa hosting facility, accompanied by her husband and son; the youngest in attendance was baby Mia, new daughter of Wayne Smith and his wife.  Said Wayne, grinning, “It was the best name, since my wife wouldn’t let me name her Miva!”

It’s not unusual for Miva to receive samples of our clients’ products as we design and build their online stores. But this year, Miva Merchant client, The Ramco Group Inc. celebrated their new Miva Merchant store launch by providing a trio of their high-tech Smoke-N-Hot Grills to smoke tender pulled pork and grill succulent barbecued chicken for the appreciative crowd.  Everyone’s anticipation mounted as the aromas of smoky pork shoulder and herb-rubbed chicken and corn wafted from the array of barbeque grills, presided over by the Ramco Group president, Bob Geiter, shown below with Rick Wilson, president of Miva.

Traditionally Bob only sells his products in quantity, wholesale, to his dealer network (he uses his Miva Merchant store for his B2B company); however as a Thank You to Bob for his extreme generosity to our whole team, we’ve talked him into allow us to promote his BBQ’s to our Miva customer base as a one time only special for the holidays.

If you want one of these amazing Smoke-N-Hot Pellet Grills in Black or Stainless (here’s his B2B product page: https://www.hearthdistribution.com/category/Pellet_Grills.html) at Bob’s wholesale price of $439.45 you need to call him before New Years Eve at (760) 330-5352. Tell him Miva sent you and place an order via phone before the end of the year in order to get in on this special offer. This is the perfect gift for the BBQ enthusiast in your life (or for you)!
