Impact
The environment and economy benefit most from my idea. 75% of US adults say they're concerned with the environment, but only 1 out of 5 actually shop resale items. Almost 100% of clothing is recyclable, but 85% ends up in landfills. Which can take 20 to 200 years to breakdown. With shopping resale, you are able to have a ever changing wardrobe that consist of quality goods without the large price tag. Revel's impact promotes being safe by washing and sanitizing our clothing, being smart by shopping resale which saves you money, and is beneficial to the environment because we are reducing the amount of waste going into landfills and slowing down the fast fashion industry.
What I'll do with $5,000
If I was awarded the $5,000 for my business I would purchase upgraded POS equipment in effort to list clothing and shoes online with better record keeping. Invest in advertising/marketing, business mentor/CPA and website upgrades. Stabilize our current inventory by purchasing dead stock inventory from local vendors, and secure vendor agreements through attending annual vendor showcases.
