“This consumer report quantifies the tremendous opportunity of brand-owned resale” said Karin Dillie, VP of Partnerships at Recurate. “The numbers are clear – brands who launch in-house resale programs can create substantially more loyal, more frequent customers than brands who don’t.”
Recurate’s Resale Report findings show that as the resale market continues to grow and outpace traditional retail, it is imperative that brands are able to leverage resale as a sustainability initiative and revenue driver. For brands, recommerce is key to unlocking the next chapter of growth, engagement, and loyalty.
The Resale Report is an important component of Recurate’s larger mission to empower brands with the support and technology they need to meaningfully participate in the circular economy.
