ArchivedTranslating a sustainable strategy to a successful online business
Sometimes, all the ingredients for success are available, ready to go, but you just have to know how to mix them successfully. Return to Sender was founded in 2006 by Katja Schuurman, Tessa Vos and Maarten Huijstee. During Katja’s journeys across the world, she met talented women from all walks of life, including some of the very poorest. These women don't lack the will or the talent, far from it, but they lack opportunities.
Supporting Women by Sustainable Trade
The mission of Return to Sender is to help women build a life for themselves and their families through fair and sustainable trade. By bringing the women’s goods to the Western market in a sustainable way, the women can immediately improve their living conditions and learn how they can sustain their livelihood in the future.
Elevating a Sustainble Business Model
Translating a sustainable business model into a successful e‑commerce platform can be tricky — as we sometimes tend to get lost in translation. We helped Return to Sender to focus on the right things in the right places on Shopify. The result showcases a perfect blend between their sustainable ambitions and their excellent product line-up.
