Hey there!

Today's shoppers are becoming more aware of their purchases' environmental impact, and many now feel a sense of guilt when buying brand new products. In an effort to both appeal to eco-minded customers and to boost their own sustainability efforts, a variety of retailers have launched new lines of business featuring second-hand versions of their goods.

Sustainable fashion leader Patagonia recently opened Worn Wear, a Colorado store dedicated solely to resale of their products, while Madewell and thredUP joined forces on a curated collection of vintage denim. Outside of the fashion space, Tesla is selling used models of select vehicles directly on their website, allowing them to perform their own safety inspections and facilitate the purchase of electric cars at a lower price point.

We explore these initiatives and more in Branded Second-Hand, one of this week's featured insights. Check out the others below!

Enjoy!

Hey there!

Our 2020 Future Festival tour is off to a great start, and we still have plenty of exciting events ahead of us. One that I'm particularly excited about is Future Festival New York on March 12th, since we'll be celebrating the launch of my new double-sided book: Create the Future + The Innovation Handbook!

The book stresses the importance of building a culture of innovation in the workplace, so we're marking its release with a special team ticket package for our March 12th event. Individual tickets are currently $799 with our Super Early Bird discount, but for just $999 you can purchase 5 tickets and receive a free team implementation package (including 10 copies of the book and a bunch of digital extras).

If you want to empower your team to reach its full innovation potential, this is the perfect way to get started. Visit www.futurefestival.com/newyork to get your team tickets today!
