Domaine de Bellevue Seine-et-Marne: 15 Years of Loyalty to Console SecretBox for a Spa Hotel in Île-de-France

🏡 The Domaine de Bellevue: A Bubble of Serenity in Île-de-France

In Neufmoutiers-en-Brie, in the Île-de-France countryside, the Domaine de Bellevue cultivates a fine "Contemporary Country Chic" spirit. Nestled in the heart of Seine-et-Marne's nature, in a green bubble of serenity, this establishment stands out for the elegant atmosphere of its 19th-century ivy-clad manor house.

A charming establishment in the middle of nature, surrounded by a 1.5-hectare landscaped park, the Domaine de Bellevue offers a welcome breath of fresh air from a daily life caught up in urban bustle. For 2 generations, the Galpin family has cultivated a simple taste for hospitality and authenticity. With 14 modern-design rooms, a spa with pool, a romantic pond, a terrace and a restaurant, the estate offers a restorative getaway in Seine-et-Marne, less than an hour from Paris.

💡 The Testimonial of Aurélie Galpin: A Bespoke Solution Since 2011

Aurélie Galpin explains the context of adopting Console SecretBox:

"We have been using the Secretbox console since 2011 at the Domaine de Bellevue. Already an Api & You partner for our website at the time, the console quickly established itself as a bespoke answer to the growing demand for remote gift voucher orders. By digitalising and streamlining the purchase journey, Secretbox has undeniably simplified our daily management of gift vouchers and gift boxes."

Aurélie Galpin's testimonial perfectly illustrates how Console SecretBox transforms gift box management for charming hotels in Île-de-France. Already an Api & You partner for their website since 2011, the Domaine de Bellevue naturally adopted the console in the face of growing demand for remote orders.

📈 Substantial, Growing Revenue for 15 Years

Aurélie Galpin is clear about the results: "On the commercial side, for 14 years now the console has generated substantial, growing revenue, particularly during the end-of-year festivities and for the spa offer, which works very well."

This lasting performance is explained by several factors:

• Peaks during the end-of-year festivities: The Christmas period and calendar celebrations generate particularly large sales volumes.
• Performance of the spa offer: Wellness and spa gift boxes work very well, reflecting a strong trend in the Île-de-France market.
• Continuous growth: Revenue has kept growing year after year for 14 years.
• Guaranteed immediate cash flow: "It is a guarantee of immediate cash flow, whether the gift box purchased is redeemed or not."

⚡ Time Savings: Automation Versus Manual Management

"Its automated, simplified management lets us save precious time. No more need to tie up resources and hours of work producing gift vouchers. What's more, we can now very easily extend voucher validity dates, and that is another operational asset for our internal management."

The benefits of automation:

• No more need to tie up resources: Teams can focus on the welcome and the customer experience rather than on repetitive administrative tasks.
• Fully automated process: From order to dispatch, everything is handled by the console without manual intervention.
• Simplified validity extension: The ability to very easily extend validity dates is a precious operational asset.
• Fewer errors: Automation eliminates the risk of human error.

🛡️ Customer Experience: Reassuring Reliability and Security

On the customer experience side, Aurélie Galpin observes: "On the customer experience side, our guests are reassured to have a reliable, easy-to-use tool at their disposal, and also reassured by all the banking security attached to the payment system."

The Domaine de Bellevue's customers particularly appreciate:

• A reliable, simple tool: The simplicity and intuitiveness of the interface reassure customers.
• Enhanced banking security: All the banking security attached to the payment system reassures buyers.
• Trust in the brand: The presence of a professional tool strengthens the image of quality.

🤝 Relationship Quality: An Attentive, Responsive Team

Beyond technical and commercial performance, Aurélie Galpin points out: "I also want to highlight the quality of the professional relationship and the reliability of the system: technically, the Secretbox solution is free of service interruptions, but behind it there is also an attentive, responsive and solid team."

"Api & You has a deep understanding of the needs of hoteliers and restaurateurs, and that makes the difference. For all these reasons, the Secretbox console has become a true pillar in the commercial strategy of the Domaine de Bellevue. For 14 years, it has been the easy, effective solution for our gift box management."
