Second, announcing our 3 episode podcast season focused on brand-owned resale

The Untangling Circularity Podcast has teamed up with Archive and Tersus Solutions for three episodes focused on brand-owned resale.
Running weekly from April 4-18, this Earth Month story arc will help other brands understand how they can approach resale with profitability and efficiency in mind.

• Episode one will cover the history of brand-owned resale, and how resale software platform Archive and resale operations provider Tersus Solutions have evolved their businesses to meet the growing needs of brands today.

• In episodes two and three, leaders from Faherty and Dr. Martens will offer case studies on why they launched their resale programs, challenges they faced and successes they have achieved, and tactical advice for brands considering launching resale.

Listen to the last episode of our Repair Across Industries season and get caught up before we launch the first of the three episodes above on April 4.

Listen on Spotify and Apple

Both of the updates / announcements for this newsletter represent a lot of time and effort on my and Laura’s parts. I’m always curious to know more of what you- my readers- want to hear more and less of. Feel free to reply to this email with what you’re excited about and/or missing from my content + adventures in the world of circular fashion. I love to hear from you.

Until next week,

Cynthia
