Our values

We want to delight our customers

We want our customers to love every little thing when they use our site – our design, ease of use, customer support, quality and variety of products, state of product information, professionalism of store owners, and services offered by our external service providers. Our team, our stores and all our partners are working hard and responsibly, and do their best to ensure that all our visitors and customers are happy with their experience on areskee.com.

We want to stay human

We may be using electronic means to reach our customers, but behind the scenes, we are local people who work hard to make the experience of each customer feel as smooth as possible. Not only we need to work closely together to make this happen, but we must also remember to always put our customers first in everything we do, including the way we communicate with them, address any concerns or special requests they may have, and listen to what they have to say. We are here to make our customers happy, and this requires continuous communication, empathy, and great collaboration with the rest of our community.

We are both Proud and Humble

Each of our stores should feel proud for every customer they make happy, for every positive feedback they receive, and for every positive contribution they make to our community. This is the result of their talent, passion, and professionalism - but most importantly, it’s the result of their hard work.

At the same time though, we all recognise that we are not perfect, and we do not claim to know everything. We are a young team that has plenty to learn along the way. We are thankful for any criticism and recommendations we receive from our customers or other members of our community in relation to any mistakes we make or any weaknesses we have, and at the same time we are committed to make use of this valuable information to continuously improve our services and our customers’ satisfaction.

We are ambitious

We are a team of ambitious people who work hard to make areskee.com and its stores successful. To achieve this, we need to be professional, carry out our work with care and responsibility, continue to challenge ourselves and encourage others in our community to come up with new ideas for products and improvements. We expect every member of our team, and every one of our stores to have these qualities and ambitions.

We want to be more than an online marketplace, and we want our partners to be more than merchants. We want to build a community that brings together some of the most talented Cypriots who are eager to collaborate, share their knowledge, learn from one another, and work collectively to grow our presence and our influence on the local market. Our ambition is to become a brand that inspires, encourages, and supports young talented Cypriots to pursue their dream of turning their passion into a business.

OUR STORY

ABOUT US

Welcome to Areskee, the online marketplace dedicated to makers, creatives and independent shops based in Cyprus!

Our mission is to discover some of the most exciting artists and craftsmen, as well as some of the most unique independent shops on the island, and provide them with an effective online shop where they can professionally showcase and sell their products to visitors across Cyprus and worldwide. Sellers found on Areskee share the same passion for quality and originality, no matter if they are artists, designers, makers, producers, or independent shopkeepers!

For our visitors, Areskee represents an online marketplace where they can discover unique creations, personalised gifts and hard-to-find products of amazing quality, and buy them directly from multiple sellers across Cyprus in a way that is easy, convenient, secure and enjoyable.

OUR TEAM

Areskee is operated by a small team of Cypriots who have been good friends for many years. We are based in Limassol, while our 150+ partners who sell with us are based in various locations across Cyprus, both cities and small villages.

We launched our website with our first 5 sellers in July 2018 after a whole year of intense planning, and we know well that our journey until we turn our business into what we envisioned will be long and full of challenges. At the same time though, we also expect it to be full of new ideas, new experiences and packed with excitement!

OUR VISION

Our vision is to turn areskee into a brand that inspires, encourages, and empowers talented Cypriots to pursue their dream, by providing them everything that they need to turn their passion into a sustainable business.

Equally, we dream of becoming the go-to market for conscious consumers who understand the importance of supporting the ecosystem of small local businesses, and enjoy discovering items that can say something about who they are as individuals.

PRODUCTS FOUND ON ARESKEE

Here you can find a wide variety of items sold by small businesses in Cyprus, while the majority of these items are handcrafted and sold directly by the maker. In the different categories on our website you can find art pieces, home decor, skincare and aromatherapy, sustainable clothing, accessories for men and women, items and accessories for kids, gifts and invites for weddings and christenings, local delicacies...and many more!

We are constantly looking for products that can make the everyday lives of our customers a little bit more beautiful and joyful, as well as thoughtful gifts that can put a smile on the faces of the people we care about.
