Pley recognized for its incredible impact on the toy industry



    SANTA CLARA, CA, October 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pley, the leading toy rental company, is delighted to announce that it has won the first ever Salesforce Small Business, Big Impact Contest, a contest designed to recognize the incredible impact a small business or charity has on its industry and consumers.

Nearly 650 companies from across the States and Canada entered the contest to compete for the winning place and more than $50,000 in prizes including $25,000 in Salesforce product to help advance the most inspiring small business solutions.

Judging the entries were celebrity judges and industry insiders including the powerful business and media leader, Russell Simmons, co-founder of the hip hop label Def Jam; award-winning business reporter Lisa Chow; Byron Deeter, one of Silicon Valley's most renowned entrepreneurs; and Daniel Debow, Senior Vice President of Emerging Technologies at Salesforce.

After whittling down 600+ entries to just 5 companies, each of the semi-finalists got the chance to pitch to the judges how their business solution is driving change before the winner was announced. In front of a live audience at Dreamforce, the other 4 finalists who pitched alongside Pley, included Suneris, PresenceLearning, Latitude and Zola Windows. Each company was judged on how innovative its product or service offering was and the positive impact the business has on its customers, employees or the community.

Ranan Lachman, CEO and founder of Pley said of their win "It's an honor to have been selected out of over 600 great companies to win this contest. Thanks to our great team at Pley we have been able to push forward with our vision for the company and allow families access to the latest toys at an affordable price. By leveraging the sharing economy platform, we are enabling children to play with toys in a more economically-friendly and environmentally-conscious way. With toys getting bigger and more expensive, and as our growing client base will demonstrate, renting is definitely the way forward".

Tony Rodoni, EVP of Salesforce Commercial Business said, "We chose Pley as our winner of 2015 for its commitment to creativity and success. Pley is shaking up the toy industry by changing the way consumers think about toy purchases. Its cutting-edge solutions and innovative ideas are helping families access the toys of their choice through rentals in a way that suits their budget and reduces their overall spending per year while being environmentally responsible. We look forward to seeing what else Pley has up its sleeves for the future."
