As its name suggests, Treetomydoor is a delivery service for a variety of trees. It markets itself as a sustainable gift company offering the likes of lemon trees, olive trees and many more. Treetomydoor also operates the �dedicate a tree' service which supports conservation projects throughout the UK and the world. All profits from this scheme are passed to tree growing schemes.
Many of the company's products are designed to be seasonal gifts to be sent at times including Christmas and Valentine's Day. Many of these seasonal gift ideas are subject to discount codes with significant reductions off Treetomydoor products.
The concept aims to counter the cut flowers market by supplying gifts that should be grown by the recipient, thereby combating the build-up of CO2 in the atmosphere. Most business is generated from the Treetomydoor website where customers can get free delivery with some discount vouchers.
The other major division of the company is their corporate gifts area, which offers businesses the opportunity to send gifts that are eco-friendly. This offering includes bespoke branding and packaging. It is sometimes also possible to redeem a Treetomydoor discount voucher against these products.
The company was started by Gareth Mitchell, a graduate of the University of Teeside, in November 2003 during National Tree Week after he spent three years developing the concept. The following year it received the gift of the year award and was a finalist for Best Online Business of the Year in the startups category.
