PR Newswire


SINGAPORE
, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LightInTheBox Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: LITB) (“LightInTheBox” or the “Company”), a global online retail company, today announced strategic initiatives aimed at leveraging and enhancing its manufacturing capabilities and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) model. Through these initiatives, the Company seeks to maintain competitive pricing and ensure customer satisfaction in key markets.

Strategic Manufacturing Enhancements

Building on years of experience and customer insights, LightInTheBox has developed its in-house manufacturing capabilities over the past year. A significant portion of its products is now produced internally, facilitating a transition to a Manufacturer-to-Consumer (M2C) model. This approach minimizes intermediary costs, enabling the Company to better reduce expenses more effectively than traditional retailers.

Agile Inventory Management

Adopting a “light inventory” strategy, LightInTheBox has shifted from bulk stocking to small-batch production. This “small-batch, quick-response” model enhances the Company’s ability to adapt to market fluctuations, minimize overstock risks, and respond promptly to consumer demands.

Strengthening D2C Brand Portfolio

The Company continues to build a robust D2C brand matrix, emphasizing “designed in California” to reinforce its American brand identity. By highlighting U.S.-based design elements, LightInTheBox aims to align more closely with local consumer preferences and bolster brand loyalty.

Enhancing Brand Value and Customer Engagement

LightInTheBox is committed to delivering exceptional brand value by cultivating private traffic channels, including email marketing and social media communities. This strategy reduces reliance on third-party platforms and price-sensitive consumers, fostering a more engaged and loyal customer base.
