Winston Score History

The full picture

Moonpig is an online greeting card and gift retailer based in the United Kingdom. It lets customers personalize cards with their own photos and messages, then delivers them directly to the recipient. The company also sells flowers, chocolates, and other gifts, and owns the Dutch brand Greetz, which operates the same model in the Netherlands.

Moonpig makes money by selling cards and gifts directly to consumers through its website and app, with no physical stores. The vast majority of revenue comes from the UK, making it a largely domestic business despite its small international presence. Its moat comes from a large library of card designs, a sticky app with reminder features that encourage repeat purchases, and the difficulty of replicating its personalization technology at scale. The main risk is that greeting card sending is a habit that could slowly decline as younger generations prefer digital messaging over physical cards.
