New Look
Expanding B2B gift card distribution and delivering 42% year-on-year sales growth during a challenging year for retail.

About New Look
Bringing accessible fashion to customers everywhere
Founded in 1969, New Look has grown from a single UK store into a leading fashion brand with a significant retail and digital presence. Through its stores and online platform, New Look connects customers across the UK, Ireland and international markets with accessible, trend-led fashion.
- Challenge:
- New Look wanted to expand into the UK B2B gift card market while improving programme reporting and reducing technical and operational complexity.
- Solution:
- Tillo connected New Look with hundreds of gift card buyers and provided real-time sales visibility through Brand Hub.
- Result:
- New Look increased face-value sales by 42% year on year and gift card transactions by 39%.
Reaching millions of new customers
New Look wanted to grow its presence in the UK B2B gift card market, but individual integrations and float-management requirements made new buyer relationships difficult to establish. The opportunity was to remove that friction, reach new audiences at scale and replace spreadsheet-based reporting with clearer, real-time program insights.
The Solution
Hundreds of buyers. One seamless connection.
Through Tillo’s API and buyer network, New Look connected its gift card program with hundreds of new distribution partners and their millions of end users. This removed the need to establish and maintain every integration separately, reducing the time and resources required from both parties.
Brand Hub brought live sales analytics and campaign reporting into one central platform. New Look could track face-value sales, monitor the performance of discount campaigns and understand where growth was coming from - without relying on fragmented email updates and spreadsheets.

Making gift card growth easier to manage
New Look’s team can access new B2B distribution partners through one streamlined connection, making it easier to grow the programme without adding unnecessary technical or operational complexity. Immediate digital issuance also enables customers to receive and use gift cards quickly across New Look’s shopping experience.
Behind the scenes, Brand Hub gives the team direct access to live performance data. Clear reporting makes sales and campaigns easier to monitor, while a continued flow of platform improvements helps New Look develop its programme over time.

Before working with Tillo, there was unnecessary friction involved in accessing new B2B customers. Tillo seamlessly connected us with hundreds of partners and removed the obstacles we previously faced. Its dashboard is our favourite reporting tool - it’s incredibly user-friendly, and we love the constant stream of new features.
