Customers in the three countries will benefit from free deliveries and free returns for up to 30 days after purchase, truly bringing the fitting room to their homes.

Lisa Miczaika, Vice President Central Europe at Zalando: “We are very excited to welcome customers in Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia, bringing them the most exciting fashion choices with the best convenience proposition and experience in their markets. For us, the launch of our platform in the three countries is a major step toward being the Starting Point for Fashion in Europe and opening up the Zalando universe to even more customers.”

The expansion to the three new markets also represents additional growth opportunities for brands. Existing brand partners that already operate internationally via the Zalando platform will be able to  connect with many new customers and start to build deep and strong relationships. Local brands in the three new countries can apply to join Zalando’s Partner Program and start selling their products online across Europe via the platform. This way Zalando is supporting the local industry growth and its internationalization while complementing the brands’ digital strategies.

Over the course of next few weeks, Zalando will launch localized social-first marketing initiatives with local influencers and partners in all three countries to engage with new customers in a relevant and meaningful way.

Zalando will further expand to Croatia, Estonia and Latvia this year, and Hungary and Romania in 2022.
