New service builds on Geartrade's experience as a preferred resale partner of industry-leading ski and apparel brands

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (OCTOBER 23, 2023) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Geartrade, the leading independent online resale platform for used outdoor gear and apparel, this month launched “Powered by Geartrade”– a turnkey service for winter hardgood and softgood brands that adds an essential element to their sustainability programs, improves brand loyalty, and boosts overall profits.

“Powered by Greartrade” is a new elevated level of service that builds on their experience as a preferred resale partner of industry-leading softgood brands, and adds best-in-class ski and snowboard tuning and refurbishment capabilities that are essential for hardgood makers.

“Consumers and brands are increasingly aware that a sustainability strategy without a resale or circularity component is like a table that’s missing a leg. It’s clearly out of balance, and it doesn’t need to be,” said Aaron Provine, president of Geartrade. “With ‘Powered by Geartrade,’ we’ve made the addition of a resale program easy, straightforward and cash positive.”

“Powered by Geartrade” is a turnkey and profitable resale service that delivers web development, operations, marketing and sales support, and supports those services through a revenue arrangement on the eventual sale of traded-in gear.

The service creates a complete consumer experience, including:

• Web development services that create a consumer facing presence within a brand’s current digital world;
• 100% free shipping for incoming and sold product;
• Professional evaluation, pricing, photography, product listing of received product;
• Instantaneous digital disbursement of trade-in coupons;
• Best-in-class ski and snowboard tuning services;
• Sales listings actively marketed to consumers through Geartrade.com;
• Optional creation of a parallel digital store on a brand’s own website.
