NEW YORK — Thrifters who flock to Goodwill stores will now be able to do some serious treasure hunting online as well.
and Canada, has launched an online business as part of a newly incorporated venture called GoodwillFinds.
Until now, Goodwill had no centralized online business, with each store selling some of its donations online via third party websites such as eBay and Amazon.
He also predicts that he will be able to double its online business to 32% of its consortium's sales in the next few years.
The vision for GoodwillFinds came from a consortium of Goodwill members throughout the country, including Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington, which wanted to tap into the organization's full potential.
Daryl Campbell, the CEO of Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington, said he expects that revenue for his consortium of 24 stores in his area will double from the $24 million it did last year within the next five years because of the centralized online approach.
Unlike rivals like Thredup and Poshmark, customers cannot use the site to make donations, and will still have visit a local Goodwill store to drop them off.
