Artist-Driven Home Decor & Design Marketplace Continues Momentum in Holiday Period

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Society6, the artist-driven online marketplace featuring made-to-order products in home décor, wall art, apparel and accessories, today announced record-setting Gross Transaction Value (GTV)(1) of $21.3 million for November 2020 - a 161% increase year-over-year - marking the strongest month in the brand’s history. Society6’s momentum continued through the Cyber Holiday Week, as the seven-day period - beginning on Tuesday, November 24, and ending Cyber Monday - saw average daily GTV growth of more than 93% compared to last year’s same seven-day holiday period. Cyber Monday GTV hit $2.0 million, marking Society6’s strongest day ever.

Top performing product categories included wall art and home decor, with framed art prints, art prints, posters and throw pillows ranking as the top four products. Stocking stuffer items like stickers, face masks and mugs also performed well throughout the seven-day sales period.

“Our strategy of kicking off our holiday merchandising and marketing efforts earlier this year in anticipation of a longer holiday shopping season paid off with the strongest month in the brand’s history and record sales for the Cyber Holiday Week,” said Julie Matrat, General Manager for Society6. “Given the effects of the pandemic, we are particularly gratified to be able to support the careers of hundreds of thousands of artists across the globe. Our Society6 artist community is a powerful, talented group of nearly 400,000 and we are honored to have paid our artists more than $69 million since the founding of Society6.”
