The trusted circular sourcing network for licensed merchandise

The Current Merchandising Landscape

The Problem
The Opportunity
Overstock, Waste & Brand Risk

Globally, millions of units of official licensed apparel are left unsold each year. Much of this stock faces destruction, incineration, landfill or financial write-off – harming sustainability and financial targets.

Brands & rights holders are under significant pressure to protect RRP and avoid public discounting. Traditional clearance routes, to date, are public, un-strategic, and risk damaging brand equity.

Sports clubs, brands, retailers and rights holders all lack discreet, controlled options for liquidating and offloading surplus licensed product.

A Global Shift Towards Circular Solutions

Sustainability is now a commercial and reputational priority across the global sports industry.

Rights holders, sports clubs, brands, and retailers need discreet ways to clear stock without devaluing their brand.

There is a growing demand from secondary markets – mystery box operators, discount retailers, and global resellers.

ReSource connects surplus supply with qualified demand, behind the scenes. Our network model supports ESG goals while unlocking hidden value in unsold inventory.

The Power Of The Mystery Box

More Than Clearance: A Gateway To Global Brand Discovery

The wider benefits of working with mystery box sellers as a strategic liquidation route are far reaching.

Brand Expansion
Shirts reach consumers in markets where no direct campaigns exist.
Viral UGC
Unboxings fuel organic content across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Social Growth
Most mystery buyers will engage with the social accounts of the club of the shirt they receive, driving new followers.
Unexpected Discovery
Consumers feel emotional attachment to new clubs.
Follow On Purchases
Mystery buyers can often convert intofuture D2C customers.
You’re not just clearing excess – you’re gaining exposure in territories you’ve never touched.

Resetting The Discount Expectation

Break The Cycle. Regain Control.

Your fans are smart – and they’ve been trained.

Season after season, end-of-season heavy discounting has taught them to wait for the lowest price before purchasing. This behaviour reduces your full-price sell-through, depresses Average Order Value (AOV), and erodes brand equity.

ReSource helps clubs and retailers reset the cycle.

By discreetly liquidating excess stock outside of the public domain, you protect your brand perception and remove the safety net of waiting for discounts. Within 1-2 seasons, your fans will realise that they need to buy earlier in the season and at a higher price point to buy their kit.

Fans are
price-predictive
expecting 70%+
off every season.
This
trains hesitation reducing
sell-through and
lowering revenue.
ReSource removes visibility of end of season fire sales
Drives urgency into purchasing decision:
"If I wait, I may miss out"
Club and retailer AOV & ABV
is raised over time.

& brand health

You’re not just clearing stock — you’re re-training consumer behaviour.

Our Vision

A Smart, Circular Future For Licensed Merchandise

Circularity isn’t a trend — it’s the new standard for licensed merchandise.
‍

Sustainability and commercial value can – and should – coexist.

ReSource aims to become the go-to global partner for sustainable stock liquidation solutions.
