"CREATING GRAND ENTRANCES" While Staying Home
November 14, 2007
Lake Mary, FL -- November 14, 2007 -- Juggling is a talent, one that stay-at-home mom and new owner of The Personalized Doormat Company, Jill Mecca possesses.  This summer was not an ordinary one for Mrs. Mecca who purchased the Internet’s #1 personalized doormat e-commerce site www.personalizeddoormats.com .  After a year of research of online businesses, Mrs. Mecca saw the company for sale on BIZ BUY SELL., a popular “business for sale” website.  The listing caught her eye and the product sold her.  On August 31, 2007, Mrs. Mecca purchased the site from Walrus Brands cofounder Gregory Lilien who was divesting his smaller businesses  to focus on his larger divisions.  
     
Founded in 2002, The Personalized Doormats Company is the most visited site on the internet for personalized doormats.   “Doormats have always been a practical and chemical-free first line of defense in keeping your home cleaner,” say Mrs. Mecca.  “It doesn’t mean they can’t be beautiful and reflect your name and/or your personal style as well.”  That is why she developed a new slogan for the company… Creating Grand Entrances.

Mrs. Mecca took her expertise as the top advertising student in the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida and her 4 years in sales for a Fortune 500 company and combined them with her organizational skills she perfected as a mother of three.  Even with home schooling her children part-time through a unique schooling option at the International Community School, she really wanted to get back into the corporate world and work with customers again.

“The customer interaction and relationship building is what I missed most,” said Mrs. Mecca.  “The idea of doing that through this internet business was appealing.”  And it is truly A Family Affair. Her husband Alan works in the computer field so he assists her on the technical side and has worked with a team to overhaul the website making it easier to use and more visually appealing.

As reflected on their website, they carry more styles of quality custom front doormats than any other company because they only sell doormats.   From the 1 ½ “ luxury coir doormats to sports logos and holiday designs you are sure to find one that meets your needs.  But what if you want to express yourself?  They now offer a “Write Your Own Mat” that allows you to customize up to 10 lines of personalization for your home or business.  You design this yourself on a virtual online program.

“They are a great gift idea and just in time for the holidays.  They are also perfect for realtor closings, weddings, and for home builders,” say Mrs. Mecca.  “Our company goal is to provide the largest selection of personalized doormats on a very user friendly website.  I try to say yes to any request and keep my customers coming back.”  If you would like more information on The Personalized Doormat Company you can contact Mrs. Mecca directly at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it or at her office at 1-800-899-0620.
