The Future of Fast Fashion and Sustainability with Annie Hu

In this episode, I interview Annie Hu, founder and CEO of Bazar. We discuss the intersection of fast fashion, sustainability, and e-commerce returns. Annie shares insights on current e-commerce trends, particularly the influence of younger generations and social media. She explains how Bazar helps reduce environmental waste by reselling perfectly good returned or overstocked products. The episode provides valuable advice for Etsy sellers and resellers looking to source discounted products and emphasizes the importance of balancing accessibility and sustainability in fashion.In this episode, we discuss:[01:10] Meet Annie Hu: Entrepreneur and E-commerce Expert[01:31] The Problem with E-commerce Returns[03:15] Current Trends in E-commerce[06:49] Balancing Fast Fashion and Sustainability[09:13] Bazar's Business Model and Opportunities for Sellers[16:23] Challenges and Solutions for BrandsConnect with Annie: Website: https://shopbazar.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shopbazar_wholesale About Bazar:In 2022 alone, more than 3.5 billion units of overstock from the U.S. were destined to become landfill. It's one thing to see this as a number, and another to see what just a fraction of this waste looks like in person.Last year, our founder visited a fast fashion brand’s warehouse in Southern California. This company had amassed over 1 million units of overstock, and all were headed to be discarded, despite the vast majority of the items being new. As these items fell out of season/trends, they became unsellable on the brand's primary website. This scenario is far from unique - it is unfortunately the standard in fashion today.Lacking effective redistribution channels, fashion brands had no choice but to hoard these items in their warehouses, incurring steep storage costs, until they were forced to liquidate them at substantial losses or, worse, send them to landfills.Many of our team members come from e-comm and fashion backgrounds and had also encountered similar struggles with overstock. This shared challenge inspired us to establish Bazar – a marketplace tailored for modern brands to sell customer returns and overstock, breathing new life into high-quality p📞 Book a call with me to discuss your Etsy Shop and hear more about how I can help you through my program, The Ultimate Etsy Course and 1:1 Coaching! https://calendly.com/dylanjahraus/the-ultimate-etsy-course-qualification-call-podcast 🔗 LINKS 📖 Download my FREE 16-step checklist: https://dylanjahraus.info/16-step-checklist-ads📞 Book a call with me to discuss your Etsy Shop and hear more about how I can help you through my program, The Ultimate Etsy Course and 1:1 Coaching! https://bit.ly/3RNNKTx 🏆 Student Resultshttps://www.dylanjahraus.com/student-testimonials📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dylanjahraus/👋 WHO AM I?Welcome, friends!
