Clearco Partners With D.LUXURY to Support the Growth and Financial Health of Ecommerce Brands

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clearco, an ecommerce Invoice Funding solution and D.LUXURY, an ecommerce growth insights and strategy company serving leading and emerging consumer brands, today announces a strategic partnership to transform ecommerce digital and financial health. Clearco and D.LUXURY recently worked together to provide a DIGITALRx™ Audit for multi-million dollar children’s apparel brand and Clearco customer, Cecil & Lou.

The underlying business and financial health of an ecommerce brand is a key consideration for Clearco when it makes funding decisions for customers. Clearco funds brands such as Cecil & Lou, who show strong underlying key business metrics, strong gross profit margins, robust cash flow, and rapid debt payment capability.

“Clearco funds strong, high potential ecommerce brands with good financial standing and health,” states Andrew Curtis, CEO of Clearco. “By partnering with D.LUXURY, we can continue our mission to support founders in scaling their businesses effectively by enabling these founders to invest Clearco funds into channels that perform.”

Through D.LUXURY’s DIGITALRx™ Audit, Cecil & Lou was able to gain a deeper and richer understanding of their business and customers – including roadblocks and opportunities to drive increased growth and profitability. DIGITALRx™ is a unique process which combines all data points across the business to build a clear and holistic picture of a business, including hidden growth and profit opportunities. The 100+ page DIGITALRx™ report enables Cecil & Lou to make measured investments that have the highest potential return, in the right sequence, including: identifying and acquiring the right customers most efficiently, deciding what products to lean into, pull back, and develop; and determining optimal inventory positions, retention strategies, paid media strategies and other crucial investments.

“The D.LUXURY DIGITALRx™ Audit was eye opening for us – while we know our business and customer, the DIGITALRx™ took this to a whole new level. We are now thinking about many areas of the business in a different way, such as where we invest, what our growth strategy is, what we need to focus on, and in what order. We are excited about what this process unearthed for us,” notes Blythe McCain, CoFounder of Cecil and Lou. “Working with Clearco as a funding partner has allowed us to access other services and products to better analyze our business and continue Cecil & Lou’s high growth momentum.”

D.LUXURY’s DIGITALRx™ Audit unlocks brand growth and profitability through advanced business intelligence, digital growth strategies, and more. Their proprietary, proven process is the culmination of deep industry experience as consumer brand owners and operators, marketers and analysts, advanced data analytics technology, as well as industry benchmarks and research. DIGITALRx™ has been used by hundreds of leading ecommerce brands to help unlock growth and profitability.

“D.LUXURY is dedicated to empowering ecommerce brands to unlock their true potential. We developed DIGITALRx™ over the course of many years, evaluating hundreds of leading ecommerce businesses globally. Once you understand exactly where the roadblocks and opportunities are through DIGITALRx, you then know where to invest (and often more importantly where not invest) without wasting precious capital,” says Jarred Goldberg, D.LUXURY Partner. “Partnering with Clearco allows us to reach more ecommerce brands to maximize their performance and potential within the market.”

Clearco and D.LUXURY are focused on encouraging more ecommerce brands to invest in the digital and financial health of their organization to gain a thorough understanding of success and growth for ecommerce companies.
