Salary benchmarks
Our take
Thortful is an online marketplace for greetings cards designed by illustrators and photographers. The company was started to combat the lack of creativity and diversity in available greetings cards and has the aim to provide the best place to quickly find the perfect, unique card. In order to support the creatives behind their cards, Thortful pays an industry-leading royalty rate for designs.
Though Moonpig dominates the online greeting card market, accounting for 60% of all UK purchases, only 5% of greetings cards are actually bought online. Thortful hopes to change this by appealing to a younger audience that might previously have forgone sending cards at all due to inconvenience or lack of good choices.
Thortful currently gets over a million monthly website visits. As more people shop online and choose to keep in touch via thoughtful gifts, it is likely to continue to see this grow.
