Join hosts Leah and Kayla for part two of their essential series on thriving as a reseller during challenging economic times. As shipping costs soar and consumer spending tightens, this episode dives deep into practical strategies for maintaining and growing your reselling business.

In this episode, Leah and Kayla explore why the current economic downturn actually presents unique opportunities for smart resellers. They discuss how reduced competition in bulk purchasing and auctions creates better deals for those with available capital, and why now might be the perfect time to invest in inventory before prices inevitably rise again.

The hosts dive into the importance of adapting your product mix during tough economic times, explaining how to shift focus from luxury items like designer handbags to necessities and consumables that people will continue buying regardless of financial constraints. They share practical examples of recession-resistant categories and emphasize the value of diversifying inventory across different price points to appeal to various customer segments.

With shipping costs at record highs, the episode covers innovative sourcing strategies including local purchasing from consignment shops and retailers, building community relationships, and exploring alternatives to traditional bulk buying methods. The hosts also tackle pricing strategies, discussing when to use loss leaders to build customer loyalty, how to decide when lower offers are worth accepting for cash flow, and creating effective promotions during slow sales periods.

Throughout the discussion, Leah and Kayla emphasize the long-term nature of successful reselling, sharing insights from their own experience weathering multiple economic cycles. They provide both immediate tactical advice for surviving the current market and strategic guidance for positioning your business to thrive when conditions improve.

This episode is essential listening for full-time resellers feeling the economic pressure, side hustlers looking to optimize their approach, and anyone wanting to understand how market timing affects the reselling business.
