Retail Takes Downturn, Second Hand Booms

CNN:

Unlike most retailers who are blaming the economy for their poor sales, one store chain is boldly declaring that an economic downturn can actually be a boon for its business.Taylor Bond, CEO of Children’s Orchard, sounds excited about the next 10 months and beyond.

“Recycling has become more acceptable today among consumers because of the ‘green’ trend,” Bond said. “A shaky economy is making us attractive to everyone across the income spectrum. We have people pulling up to our stores in Mercedes as well as in trucks.”

“Many parents will shift from a Macy’s to Target (TGT, Fortune 500) for children’s clothing. Off-price retailers like TJ Maxx also stand to benefit,” he said.

“Recycle, reduce, renew. Those are the trends we’ll see in how people shop this year,” Johnson said. “Any well-run retailer, whether its a reseller or not, that knows what its customers want and offers good value will do well.”

  • Why blame them? they just want to do business by selling second hand products, so what if it is a second hand?,many people now buy a second hand,coz its affordable and cheap,not like the new one wich is too expensive.i dont see the logic why they blame the second hand business, as the one who is responsible for the down of the retaillers, like me i love second hand too and for me they are ok and much better than the new.
