Our vision is to become the ultimate online gifting companion in our core geographical markets
Our goal is for our brands to become synonymous with gifting in their respective markets. We have already evolved from the online leader in personalised greeting cards into a card-first gifting platform, and the next phase of our journey is to leverage data science capabilities to transition into a holistic online gifting companion, increasing our share of the gifting market and becoming the destination of choice for customers celebrating all the important occasions and events in their lives.
