About Splash

Splash Sails, Inc. was started by Alan and Joel Greenberg in May 1973.  The territory initially covered was Metro New York and Northern New Jersey.  We soon grew to ten sales reps.  In the early 1980’s, we expanded our coverage to Southern New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and Connecticut and increased our sales force to 19 reps.  We also focused on the growing mail order business on a national basis.  With the changing department store scene, we pursued both the buying offices of the major department store chains and those of member group organizations.  Upon our 15th anniversary, our territory again expanded to the remainder of New England, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, better known as the “Mid-Atlantic”.  We then grew to 25 to 30 reps.

In 1994, Splash acquired an interest in Van Dow Fenton, a prominent gift and stationery sales organization established in 1945 with complimenting lines and sales representatives, thus creating a unique business opportunity.  A combined road force of 35 reps offering an eclectic mix of very saleable products has given a new meaning to “one stop shopping”.   After Alan passed away in early 2007, Kim Ryon and Judy Greenberg became the new owners of Splash.

Splash recognizes that we are a sales and service organization, our reps being our most important asset.  We have chosen to have one division with a sales force working together in the most harmonious way, focused on common goals.  Maximum earnings and benefits can be realized by our reps working for profitable manufacturers.  Splash represents some of the finest manufacturers in the gift industry.  Our turnover of reps and factories is minimal.  We have worked for some of our companies for over 25 years, and many of our reps have been with us for over 15 years!

We have a phenomenal presence at the New York Gift Shows and participate in many regional shows.  Many national retailers have invited us to be part of their shows as well, however, our success is attributed to our constant road business – our reps are in the stores on a monthly or quarterly basis.  The customers expect nothing less from us.  We look forward to working and growing in a pleasant and profitable manner with all reps, factories, retailers and wholesalers with whom we do business.
