Resale has officially moved from the margins to the mainstream. As economic pressures push consumers to seek value and sustainability gains steam, resale marketplaces like ThredUp are poised for massive growth.
In this episode of Retail Remix, host Nicole Silberstein sits down with Alon Rotem, Chief Strategy Officer at ThredUp, to discuss the company’s impressive recent growth and what it says about the broader retail landscape. They dive into:
- Why economic headwinds like tariffs and the removal of de minimis have been tailwinds for resale;
- How ThredUp has finally been able to achieve profitability in the U.S. and what it plans to do with that capital;
- Why AI advancements are poised to "disproportionately benefit” secondhand retail;
- Details of the company’s forthcoming peer-to-peer offering;
- PLUS what everyone gets wrong about lawyers.
Whether you’re a retail exec or a resale-curious consumer, this episode breaks down why the resale model is no longer a trend — it’s the future.
