According to the study, 53% of respondents expect to adapt their holiday purchasing this year to meet shipment delays. Another 62 percent of customers say it is now more socially acceptable to buy secondhand apparel and attractive presents than it was five years ago.
People’s readiness for used goods, according to ThredUP management, is a tremendous chance to grow sales. The firm states that it is a fantastic option as a platform for selecting gifts as early as today. The fact that all of the items on ThredUP are available is also highlighted.
This is a significant competitive advantage in the face of delivery delays. Especially for individuals who will put off buying gifts until the last possible minute. ThredUP was able to lower costs on the eve of the Christmas season, making the platform’s items even more appealing.
On November 22, TDUP was trading at $19.31, over 39% below its IPO highs.
