Posti is organizing Secondhand September for the third time, bringing together 14 secondhand partners, to promote more responsible consumption culture and show the diversity of the secondhand market. As the secondhand market continues to grow rapidly, so does the demand for new sellers and items.
Now in its third year, the campaign has expanded from five to fourteen partners. In addition to Posti, this year’s participants include Bought, Emmy, Flip1, Gugguu Preloved, Huuto.net, Kalevala Pidetty, Kidli, Luhta ReUse, Marimekko Preloved, Nanso, Ninyes, Tori, Vaihtokapula and Varusteleka. Throughout September, these partners will offer various benefits and discounts in collaboration with Posti, including special offers on delivery services.
During Secondhand September, Posti and its partners want to inspire more people to consider whether their next purchase could be secondhand and whether there could be things in their closets to which someone else could give a new life.
Convenience attracts new customers to the secondhand market
The secondhand market keeps expanding as services evolve, product availability widens, and user experiences become more effortless.
“There’s significant growth potential in secondhand. E-commerce-style services have made it easier to try and brought secondhand shopping within reach of more people. Posti has played a key role in enabling the secondhand market, smooth logistics have helped turn secondhand shopping into an online experience, making it accessible regardless of distance,” says Elina Rosenlund, Sales Director from Posti.
One of the three pillars of Posti’s sustainability program is sustainable growth within the limits of one planet: we promote a clean transition in logistics. Our goal is to mitigate climate change and preserve biodiversity; we support the circular economy, expand sustainable customer offerings, and continuously improve our environmental management.
Secondhand September will be celebrated throughout the month. Early autumn is one of the most important seasons for secondhand shopping.
