Zivah Ring wants America to have a taste of Baltimore.
The 50-year-old president and founder of BluePoint2Go, King ships fresh crab products all across the country to consumers who want to enjoy a full plate of what Crab Town has to offer.
Founded in late November, Ring?s company is an Internet-based business that she runs out of her home near the Owings Mills location of Maryland Blue Point Crab House.
“I talked to [Steve Ring, her husband and part owner of Blue Point] about doing a Web site for his company but he liked what he was doing,” Ring said. “So I did it on my own.”
Maryland Blue Point Crab was originally a business in Patterson Park, started by Herb Green in 1951. Developing a loyal consumer base over the decades, Steve Ring, a business neighbor of the Green family, worked with the Greens to move the business to the suburbs in 1999. That year, the Owings Mills location opened under his guidance and continued developing with a new Westminster location a few years later.
Last November Zivah Ring became the newest member of the Maryland Blue Point Crab family.
Ring said everything she hand-shipped is fresh, no freezing of the product and each shipment would be next-day delivered if she received the order by her 11 a.m. deadline.
Combined her niche with launching her own Web site, Ring focused initially on being a businesses to businesses supplier of corporate gifts, platters and personalized gifts.
From there, she has focused more on marketing to individuals across the Internet in places like Nevada, Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Arkansas, New York and Pennsylvania.
“I was so happy to receive this scrumptious gift from my sister,” said BluePoint2Go customer Linda Haddaway, who posted on the review portion of the company?s Web site. “I will now order them for myself and for my friends.”
