Empowering Brands with Trove's Resale Solutions: A Year in Review 2024

Modularity & Scaling

In 2024, Trove has witnessed brands embracing modularity and scaling by customizing resale program modules to align with their commercial and sustainability objectives. Recognizing the absence of a one-size-fits-all approach, brands are now leveraging a flexible bundle of program components to drive growth. This shift allows brands to mix and match various program elements, optimizing for speed-to-market while enhancing customer experiences. By methodically testing and iterating their way to scale, brands can identify the program components that yield the most value for their brand and customers. Trove's comprehensive programs span across stores, shopping sites, and recommerce operations, catering to diverse industry use cases. Whether piloting quickly, scaling reliably, or optimizing program mix, brands can rely on Trove's expertise to maximize impact.

Operations Anywhere

One of Trove's key offerings in 2024 is the Recommerce WMS, enabling brands to centralize their resale operations with ease. With the launch of the Trove Recommerce WMS, brands gain enhanced flexibility by deploying resale operations within any facility. This SaaS-based suite covers the entire spectrum of resale operations, facilitating seamless processing and condition-grading of used items. Leveraging Trove's advanced resale algorithms and rules engine, brands can efficiently route items to their optimal selling or disposition channels. Whether running resale operations internally or through third-party logistics providers, brands can streamline operations and enhance efficiency with Trove's innovative solutions.

Trove & Recurate

The strategic acquisition of Recurate in 2024 has expanded Trove's offerings, introducing peer-to-peer resale options for brands. By integrating Recurate's capabilities into its platform, Trove has created new opportunities for brands to initiate and expand their resale programs. This acquisition has not only added pioneering brands to Trove's portfolio but has also infused fresh perspectives and expertise into the Trove team. Brands can now leverage Trove & Recurate's synergies to launch innovative resale initiatives, cater to evolving consumer demands, and drive sustainable business growth.

The Resale Plugin

Trove's groundbreaking Resale Plugin, unveiled in Fall 2024, has redefined ecommerce capabilities by seamlessly integrating used and new items on any platform. This industry-first plugin empowers brands to effortlessly merchandise both new and pre-owned items without platform restrictions. By demonstrating how brands can effectively combine used and new inventory, Trove's Resale Plugin showcases the power of innovative technologies in reshaping ecommerce experiences. Brands seeking to enhance their ecommerce offerings and provide customers with a diverse range of products can benefit from the unique functionalities of Trove's Resale Plugin.

The Promotion Boom

Throughout 2024, Trove witnessed a surge in creative promotional activities that drove remarkable results for brands within the resale industry. Brands leveraging Trove's platform engaged in dynamic cross-channel activations, capturing consumer attention and boosting brand visibility. From homepage takeovers to influencer collaborations, trade-in bonuses to Black Friday deals, brands explored diverse promotional strategies to enhance their resale impact. By implementing innovative and engaging promotions, brands could effectively attract new customers, drive conversions, and strengthen their brand presence in a competitive market landscape.

Channel Expansion

Trove's focus on channel expansion in 2024 has enabled brands to diversify their selling channels, reaching a wider consumer base and maximizing engagement opportunities. With the integration of marketplace selling capabilities, Trove's platform now supports seamless supply-demand matching across multiple supply sources and disposition channels. This expansion empowers brands to tap into new customer segments, enhance unit economics, and drive revenue growth by leveraging a versatile and scalable platform. By broadening their selling channels, brands can amplify their market reach, establish stronger connections with consumers, and drive continued business growth.

Site Performance Upgrades

While flashy launches garner attention, Trove's focus on site performance upgrades in 2024 has significantly enhanced conversion rates and program economics for brands. Through the introduction of new features and algorithms, Trove has bolstered site performance, leading to a notable boost in conversion rates. Noteworthy upgrades such as item ranking enhancements and active pricing algorithms leverage machine learning and supply-demand signals to optimize GMV and drive revenue growth. These performance upgrades, though subtle, play a pivotal role in driving day-to-day impact for brands, ensuring sustained growth and operational efficiency within the resale landscape.

Regulatory Momentum

In response to evolving regulations emphasizing sustainability and responsible retail practices, Trove has actively supported brands in navigating regulatory changes in 2024. Legislation such as California's SB-707 and New York's 'Fashion Act' have placed a greater emphasis on resale, repair, and recycling within the fashion industry. Trove's commitment to helping brands comply with regulatory requirements and adopt sustainable practices is evident through ongoing consultations and support services. By staying ahead of the regulatory curve and aligning operations with emerging standards, Trove empowers brands to embrace sustainability, reduce regulatory risks, and drive positive environmental impact.
