With B2C Sales Surging, elope Plans Thoughtful Growth Strategy

The top-selling item for elope was its custom-designed costume “Pig Kit,” a delightfully simple set of plush pig ears, a nose and a springy tail that epitomizes what the two brothers who launched the company as a kiosk in a Colorado Springs mall knew decades ago: dress-up silliness can be serious business. elope (which stands for Everybody’s Laughing on Planet Earth) has spent 25 years building a whimsical collection of hats, costumes and accessories. The company’s catalog consists of half licensed items and the rest (unique for its space) designed in-house to fulfill their mission of sharing laughter and wearing happiness on a global scale.

“Because we had been with Sage for so long, we lost ourselves in our own band-aids, and didn’t know what was needed anymore. We were excited to have different ways of doing things from NetSuite’s industry experience.” Eli Rustenbach, Strategic Analysis Team Lead, elope, Inc.
