How to Choose the Right Recommerce Model for Your Business and Capabilities

Once you analyze your capabilities, you can start mapping them to different recommerce models.

Some examples:

  • The simplest model: secondhand resale. Inspect the item, record its condition, and sell it as-is through an outlet corner or secondhand store.
  • A bit more complex: refurbishment models. Improve the condition of returned goods yourself or through a partner before reselling.
  • Another option: resell to aggregators. Instead of selling to consumers, sell used goods to aftermarket players for recycling or spare parts.
  • If you already have repair capabilities: servitized models like rentals or subscriptions. These work well for specialized retailers who already offer maintenance and repair services.

The right model depends on your starting point—and how deep your product knowledge and operational capabilities go.
