According to the two founders, the acquisition will speed up the expansion of the company, and use birchbox France's customer database to provide customers with more personalized customized services, while expanding the number of cooperative brands (currently about 300). The company also announced that it will launch a data analysis platform called "birchbox Analytics" to enable cooperative brands to collect and analyze user data and receive feedback from consumers in real time, so as to improve brand performance. Birchbox France has more than 220000 regular subscribers and 60 employees. In 2019, the sales increased by 20% year on year. 60% of the sales came from its scheduled ordering business and 40% from online retail channels. Since 2016, it has made profits. Birchbox, the parent company of nbspbirchbox France, has developed rapidly since its establishment in 2010. It has carried out a number of financing, expanded rapidly, and began to expand to the field of real retail. The company's valuation once reached 500 million US dollars, but it can't get out of the loss. Under pressure from venture capital shareholders, birchbox was forced to abandon plans for physical retail expansion and lay off workers. In 2015, private equity fund Viking global investments acquired birchbox for a mere $15 million after months of negotiations.
