Online shoe retailer hits internet top 20

15/03/2012
An online footwear retailer has been named as one of the 20 fastest growing European companies on the internet.

Spartoo.com was placed in the European top 20 by US publication Internet Retailer.

Founded in France in 2006, the company achieved almost 70% growth in 2011 compared to 2010, with a turnover of almost EUR 100 million. In the course of the year, it sold around 1.5 million pairs of shoes.

Chief executive, Boris Saragalia, said on learning of the top 20 placement: “
In 2012, Spartoo.com is going to build upon five years of solid growth. We are counting on a turnover of EUR 140 to 150 million. The goal is to win over markets in each of the countries that we've recently opened, just like we did in France.

Shoppers from anywhere in Europe can buy shoes from Spartoo, but the company now has 12 specially targeted countries and 12 dedicated websites in the local language, with their own specific marketing services and special offers.
