Vente-privee.com is a little website that everyone – mean by that “all the world of e-commerce” – looks with envy, or admiration. The site whose success is undeniable and has tripled its turnover in five years was in the forefront of media week with the announcement by his now famous Jacques-Antoine Granjon CEO, redemption Theatre of Paris . If the ad is surprising at first, it is actually quite logical. Indeed, the site has launched since 2011 with some success in cultural activity with regular selling CDs of various artists (Patricia Kaas, Florent Pagny and Alain Chamfort) but also shows such as musicals. The ambition of the company is to develop in this area, offering a vertical stretching from production to broadcast artists to sell their concert tickets exclusively on the website and at attractive prices to attract audiences that lack of resources, tend to have little access to such events. With the acquisition of this iconic Parisian theater, which will now, like its neighbor the Casino de Paris, offering musical performances and concerts, vente-privee.com has tremendous “laboratory” to develop this new offering. Especially since the brand has the means to do parallel since its announcement, the company also released its results for 2012 which show a growth in turnover of 22%.
