In the last 2 years, Martha's Cottage's turnover has grown from € 560 thousand in 2016 to € 1.1 million in 2017 and is looking abroad, with a projection to reach85% by 2020: in fact, Martha's Cottage is already a leader in the French, Spanish and German markets.

A huge competitive advantage of Martha's Cottage is its ability to operate with 3 distinct business models: B2C, B2B2C and B2B.

  • B2C: caters directly to couples, who browse the site looking for inspiration to make their wedding unforgettable.
  • B2B2C: it is dedicated to operators in the sector, such as event venues, who have access to a reserved business area with exclusive products and prices;
    This segment guarantees a longer Life Time Value than private customers because the frequency of purchases is higher (with at least 6-10 purchases per year);
  • B2B: this is aimed at other operators in the sector: such as wedding planners, photographers, etc., who have a personalised advertising space on the site that is renewed every year.


About 20% of revenues come from the B2B and B2B2C section, and the data analysis done by the company shows a high rate of customer loyalty , which continue to use the portal even after the wedding.
Also thanks to this, Martha's Cottage can boast a very important average shopping cart, worth more than 410€.
