A reuse store that runs year-round.
A weekend sidewalk sale caps how much value your program can return to students. ReDorm turns it into a permanent storefront your team can actually staff.
The Challenge
The pop-up ceiling
Seasonal sales run on cash boxes, handwritten price tags, and one chaotic weekend. Students queue for items nobody can look up, staff can't tell what's left, and most of the inventory you worked all summer to collect never gets in front of a buyer. The program breaks even, and the case for funding it next year gets harder.
How ReDorm helps
White-labeled storefront
Your campus colors, logo, and subdomain. Students shop something that looks like it belongs to the university, not a third-party marketplace.
Inventory that stays in sync
What's on the shelf is what's online. Items come off the storefront the moment they're claimed, so nobody drives over for something that's gone.
Scheduled pickup windows
Students reserve a slot at your pickup location, which spreads move-in demand across the week instead of into one unmanageable line.
Student re-commerce
Digital storefronts consistently drive several times the revenue of traditional sidewalk sales, because people pay for convenience.
Custom pricing and categories
Set price tiers by category and season, run student discounts, and upload campus-branded products alongside recovered inventory.
Revenue and impact together
See sales and diverted pounds in the same place, so the store's financial and sustainability cases are made from one dataset.
