Clic

What Clic does

Clic is a privately held, multi-category lifestyle e-commerce platform and curated photography gallery headquartered in New York's SoHo neighborhood at 241 Centre Street. Founded in 2008 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company sells fine art photography from a named roster of over 39 photographers (including Ron Galella, Antoine Verglas, Blaise Hayward, Juliette Charvet, Kate Holstein, Anne Menke, and Julien Roubinet) alongside premium art books from publishers such as Assouline, Phaidon, Rizzoli, and Taschen. The catalog extends into Home Décor, Kitchen & Dining, Fashion, and Kids categories, positioning Clic as an art-anchored lifestyle retailer rather than a pure photography print shop.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer retailer with a one-time-purchase model, using Shopify as its core e-commerce platform. Pricing spans $20-$125 for books to $700-$7,000+ for signed limited-edition photography prints, and the company offers a 10% first-order discount to newsletter subscribers as its primary acquisition lever. Distribution combines the clic.com Shopify storefront with a SoHo flagship for in-person consultation, supported by an integrated payment stack (Shop Pay, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, plus major card networks) and a Swym-powered gift registry. Marketing is anchored on Klaviyo email, a content/journal section, paid pixels (TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, Google), and active social presence on Instagram, X, and Facebook.

Clic ships to six markets (USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan) and serves three primary customer segments: art collectors and home décor enthusiasts, gift givers using the wedding/event registry, and interior designers sourcing distinctive pieces. No funding rounds, institutional investors, leadership disclosures, or M&A activity appear in the available data; the company has no patents, awards, or formal partnerships disclosed and has been forced to publicly warn customers about fraudulent clone sites (loveclic.shop, shopclic.shop) using the Clic brand.

Direct peers

Closest direct comparable to Clic across the photography, fine art, and lifestyle retail mix, with a deeper marketplace model versus Clic's curated single-merchant approach.

• Artsy: Leading online art marketplace aggregating works from galleries, auctions, and fairs, with strong photography and fine art coverage. Comparable as a discovery-and-purchase destination for collectors shopping curated art, though broader and marketplace-led versus Clic's retail model.
