I find myself in a state of disbelief as to how much time has gone by since we started on this journey. As I write this, The Voom Group is passing another milestone birthday. On one hand, I can’t believe that 15 years have gone by so quickly, and on the other hand I can’t believe the incredible gifts we have been blessed with in such a short amount of time….
Our youngest, Ali, who gets some credit for the Voom name since we were reading the Cat in the Hat to her when we were trying to come up with a name for our new company, and Voom was born, is finishing her freshman year of college… my how the time has flown.
One of our birthday gifts to ourselves was a new website. We just launched it today to commemorate this amazing occasion and since you are reading this, I have to assume you have found your way here… As always, we welcome feedback on how we can make it better. We have many plans in store, and will be excited to roll out new features soon. But first we start here – with our new website, and a new blog, and a heartfelt thank you to all of the people that have made our dream come true…
I am truly humbled by all of the amazing things we have accomplished in our first 15 years together. We started this journey with a much smaller group – a supportive wife and family, but over the years we have had the pleasure of knowing hundreds, if not thousands, of people that have contributed so much to making Voom what we are today. From our very first employee, to our newest, we have had the pleasure of working with some amazing people. We hope you will continue to follow us on our journey, and look to you to help guide our path as you have done for the last 15 years.
Thank you to our employees most of all, I could not imagine having a better team of people. I am constantly amazed at the dedication we all have to keeping our customers happy and the ability of our work family to keep a great attitude and work ethic in this crazy world of printing deadlines. Thank you to our customers, we truly enjoy the challenges you bring us everyday, and love waking up every morning to see what new and interesting project is waiting around the next bend. Thank you to our suppliers and vendors, we have such amazing partners that understand our business and our needs and consistently deliver the best materials and continue to educate us. And from me personally, thank you to my family for putting up with the insane hours, missed games, vacations cut short, cold dinners, and general insanity that comes with living with a small business owner.
15 years of not having to work for a living… I am truly a blessed man, and I look forward to 15 more.

Happy birthday Voom – and thank you to all of you for all you do and have done to help along the way with all of my projects. Looking forward to working with you again. You all rock!
I loved reading your letter, Erich, and am so proud to support your small business!! Your team is awesome – especially Diane… who puts up with our small business, which can bring its share of challenges. : ) Thank you for the incredible customer service and quality you provide. May the next 15 years bring you continued blessings, joy and much success!
Congrats, dude! I remember when you were in the garage! Your customer service excellence and creative solutions have taken you a long way. When most printers are shrinking, your success is admirable.
You are by far the best vendor partner we could ever ask for at Spear One!! Thank you for your friendship and for all you do to make us successful!! Also a big thanks for your charitable contributions when asked.
I love your letter, the new website and the awesomely diverse group that is Voom! I have only had a few opportunities to use your services but I look forward to working with you more in the future. Happy Anniversary!
As the one responsible for so many of the “crazy requests and timelines” I would like to send a heartfelt Thank You to each and every one of your employees! You and your amazing team at VOOM consistently deliver for us and make us shine! From our work family at MetroPCS to yours at VOOM – CONGRATULATIONS ON 15 YEARS!!!! We look forward to the next 15 with you as a valued partner!
When is the party?
