Market Competition and Expansion:

Used goods stores have experienced swelling revenue through most of the five years through the end of 2023. These stores have historically performed countercyclically to the overall economy, but as income levels and consumer confidence surged early during the current period, used good store revenue continued to climb. Revenue also swelled because of changing consumer and fashion trends, leading to an influx of demand from young consumers. Moreover, numerous social media outlets and TV shows dedicated to altering or selling used merchandise have become popular through the end of 2023, driving consumer demand for used goods stores' products. However, these stores experienced substantial challenges amid COVID-19, pushing down used good store revenue in 2020. Overall, used good store revenue will strengthen at a CAGR of 4.6% to $28.7 billion through the end of 2023, including a 1.1% swell in 2023 alone. There are many opportunities to grow the business, including: · Open another brick-and-mortar store (more sqft of retail space). Branching out into other communities can bring in more gear and open up the customer base. Opening multiple brick and mortar shops and selling gear on one website could also grow online sales. · Collaborate with gear reps. develop a consignment program for gear reps from high end brands, who are looking to get rid of demo gear from previous seasons. · Local and digital marketing campaign. The seller has spent very little money on marketing and much of the growth has been organic and word of mouth. Developing a marketing budget and plan could help set sales goals and hone in on reaching out to current, and finding new, markets and customers.
