Commenting on the Company’s performance over Q1 FY24, enigmatic Cettire Founder and CEO, Dean Mintz, said: “Cettire continues to rapidly increase penetration within the large global personal luxury goods market. During the period, we experienced broad-based momentum across both Established and Emerging Markets, supported by our localisation initiatives and marketing execution. We observed strong customer growth and an increase in AOV towards the quarter end in line with the transition to the traditionally stronger fall-winter season. The demand environment remains healthy and our focused execution is reflected in the robust quarterly performance and our momentum early in Q2, with October month-to-date-sales revenue increasing 80 percent vs pcp”.
In its FY23 results report, Cettire announced its focus for FY24 is localisation. The company’s emerging markets, which accounted for 27 percent of gross revenue in FY23, are key going forward especially its entry into the Chinese Market. Last year, the company deployed multi-language features and intends to grow capabilities in six languages this financial year, including Chinese, Japanese and Spanish.
“We are pleased by the early trading in FY24, with all our key markets performing strongly,” said Mintz in the FY23 Report. “Cettire is well positioned for another strong year of growth and profitability. We are well advanced in our preparations for China market entry, which remains a very attractive market opportunity and offers significant incremental growth potential.”
