Thomas Lorival – Director & Head Sommelier, Le Clos des Sens: a testimonial that makes the difference

"Following our takeover of Le Clos des Sens at the end of 2022, we reviewed all the suppliers Laurent and Martine Petit worked with, to reconsider the possible areas of development for our house.

We chose to continue the collaboration with Api & You because the Secretbox gift box sales solution is essential to our commercial performance.

Since January 2025, we have been working with the Secretbox teams to optimise our gift boxes: choice of copy, visuals, improved search visibility.

The result over the last 9 months: despite a rather unfavourable economic climate, our revenue from gift box sales has grown, and Christmas is still to come.

Beyond volumes, we are also seeing a rise in the average gift box ticket thanks to precise advice on positioning, presentation and promotion of offers.

The human and technical support and the quality of advice from the Api & You teams make the difference.

The monthly tracking reports, the responsiveness when needed and the agency's proactive suggestions on new marketing levers are a real asset for us.

On the customer side, the purchase journey is intuitive.

In the back office, the ease of use, setup and integration of Secretbox with other software removes every obstacle.

Setting up a new gift voucher is quick, with no need to rely on technical support.

We are autonomous and can create suitable offers at short notice, for example to boost quiet periods.

For my head of reception, the time saving is considerable: fewer constraints, more autonomy, smooth management with no malfunctions.
I consider Secretbox a strategic growth lever, which allows us to sell more, sell better and do it simply."


Le Clos des Sens: authenticity between lake and mountain

On the heights of Annecy-le-Vieux, the5-star Relais & Châteaux hotel and 3-Michelin-star gourmet restaurant Le Clos des Sens creates a silent dialogue between lake and mountain. Below, the turquoise waters of Lake Annecy; opposite, the Bauges massif; in between, an epicurean haven where authenticity and contemporary refinement meet. Nestled in a garden of Eden with a thousand aromatic herbs, Le Clos des Sens looks like a botanical paradise. A life-changing experience and a powerful culinary signature, to discover through a collection of gift vouchers and gift boxes.

Le Clos des Sens establishment

It is a truly embodied world. At the 5-star Relais & Châteaux hotel, comfort is tinged with contemporary preciousness and rusticity, between Savoyard craftsmanship and works of art. At the three-star restaurant, also awarded the MICHELIN Guide green star and 3 Ecotable macarons, the focus goes straight to a lake and plant-based cuisine, of the surroundings and of the moment. A hymn to the lakes of Annecy, Bourget and Geneva, it is rooted in a distinctive terroir and a nourishing nature.
