brands4friends.de can look back on a very promising first half-year. According to Internet analysis tool “Omniture“, the attractive range of brands offered by brands4friends.de drew more than 278,000 shoppers to the brands4friends.de pages on 24 June, thus setting a new daily record. The regular Word Cup offers and evening promotions, in particular, proved very popular with the three million members. In the run-up to the fashion weeks, high-calibre designer promotions, e.g. with MICHALSKY, also led to a rush of visitors to the largest German shopping club.

In addition, brands4friends customers are very satisfied: when assessing their shopping club at the “Trusted Shops“ seal of approval, they rate it as "VERY GOOD" and award it 4.59 out of 5 possible stars.

Christian Heitmeyer, founder & CEO: “We are very proud that our customers place such trust in us and award top marks to brands4friends.de. That truly motivates us to continuously improve.“

Internationally, brands4friends also continues its growth course. Since entering the British market in February 2010 and the Japanese market in early March 2010, the online shopping club has been experiencing high growth rates in these regions. The know-how of the German purchasing and marketing teams has enabled both countries to follow in the vein of brands4friends’ success in Germany, both in terms of revenue as well as membership development.
