Introducing ‘Powered By Geartrade’

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.
