Mission & Vision
Motivation to Found Lucasgift
Hello, my name is Taha Yavuz. I am the founder of Lucasgift. I started Lucasgift to have an alternate selling channel along with other online marketplaces for my Personalized Gift Items.
It was quite a journey for me to grow an online business. After getting successful with one product, I discovered more and more winning products. However, at some point I witnessed the corporate greed and unfair practices in big marketplaces. Then, I became more passionate about developing Lucasgift.

Invisible Limitations...
Current big platforms limit Small businesses to stay small, and struggle. After years of selling on those websites, I discovered that they set an invisible limit on your earnings, no matter what you do; increase the number of products you offer, make more promotions, or spend more on ads, you are set to earn certain amount, not a dime more!
This is evil! Unfortunately, you cannot strive to success more than they allow you to do so. Our goal is to allow any Seller to be successful without any limitation.
Big marketplaces love to rip off their sellers in the sake of covering their enormous paid ads and corporational expenses…
They always say "how small their commissions are". On the contrary, they rip off their sellers with hidden and tiny little but numerous fees and commissions: Transaction fee, shipping label fee, membership fee... list goes on.
The biggest portion of their stealing is "In-site ads"! Most of the current big marketplaces take sellers money with their “In-site ads” costs. In some cases, these ads will cost sellers more than half of their revenue!
Big corporates uses these money recklessly to promote their websites on Search Pages, or Social Media Platforms and fill other big companies' pockets. Money goes from Small sellers to big corporate pockets, what an evil scheme!
We as Lucasgift will never seek Paid ads on Search Pages or Social Media Platforms. The growth and sales will be purely through Organic traffic and word of mouth by our lovely affiliates and customers.
Lucasgift promises to cover all the transactional fees, service fees, marketing fees, discount amounts, affiliate and referral commissions and such. Also, there will not be In-site ads on Lucasgift, never.
So, at the end, you will earn predictably and stably. Without all the greedy corporate needs, Lucasgift will offer this peace of mind for its sellers.
Lucasgift needs only 30% commission and that is to cover:
• 5% of transaction fees (occurs while customers are buying things and paying sellers via PayPal Payout),
• 10% of affiliate and referral commissions,
• Up to 10% of marketing discounts,
And with the remaining 5%, we still need to pay for our Staff & Services to run the website.
Lucasgift is founded by a Muslim Immigrant person
A true Muslim is one who does not harm other Muslims with their words or actions, and an emigrant is someone who avoids doing things that Allah has forbidden.
So, with safety and transparency provided on Lucasgift, any Seller with good moral practices can succeed and have a thriving business, InshAllah!
Lucasgift does not seek any Loan and Financing opportunities
Interest is forbidden in Islam. Do you know why, because debt takes away all the joy in this life. Islam is a way of peaceful living directed by Allah. It is for human being to live in this world with peace of mind and hopefully earn the Jannah after death.
This is another motivation that Lucasgift will develop itself with only available funds it has. Current big corporates on the other hand, always ask for more, thus, get more and more loans because of their greed but at the end, with all the debt, they squeeze out Small sellers by increasing ad costs, commission rates or even invent a new types of fees.
We will always aim Financial stability by being content and having economical practices on Lucasgift. Even if we grow bigger, this principle will never change in our company. May Allah protect us from any embarrassment!
