Take, for example, the \u201cCarhartt x Eminem x Air Jordan 4 Retro\u201d sneakers, gifted to loyal fans in 2015. Within three years, the value of the shoes soared to $10,000 per pair and by 2024 were selling for over $30,000 each.

We focus on the luxury watch market, where the enrichment economy has been soaring for years.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>We find that the enrichment economy follows a logic distinct from conventional markets.

They grant the privilege of acquiring enrichment goods to a small and well-vetted group of consumers who are incentivized not to resell their watches right away. In doing so, brands constrain the circulation of enrichment goods, which props up their resale value.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong><em>Assetizing the enrichment privilege<\/em>:<\/strong> Second-hand market platforms highlight the worth of enrichment goods as assets and foster market transparency and liquidity.

We encourage practitioners to consider egalitarianism, transparency, and democratization when implementing an enrichment strategy.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Egalitarianism<\/strong>: Waitlisting and allocation should be binding and clear. The goal is to avoid situations where consumers, having joined a waiting list, remain uninformed for prolonged periods, leading some of them to desperately spend money to increase their standing in the brand\u2019s eyes. Also, brands should track how many enrichment goods are purchased by each client, which will help prevent retailers and boutiques from favoring a select few clients at the expense of a broader community.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Transparency<\/strong>: Brands should eliminate personal biases from their allocation and waitlisting processes to ensure fair and transparent access to enrichment goods. They should allow customers to log into their accounts to see their position and receive regular updates on their expected wait times. New customers should be able to see which lists are open and a free spot on the waiting or allocation list should guarantee a fair opportunity to join it.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Democratization<\/strong>: We advise brands that deal in enrichment goods to rethink their consumer profiling programs. These programs are susceptible to discrimination on dimensions such as race, economic status, or simply not fitting into the \u201cbrand aura.\u201d Brands can make enrichment markets more democratic by rethinking how consumers present their interest to the brand.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Our analysis highlights the danger of unethical retailing practices in the enrichment economy. For instance, Rolex has been fined $100 million by the French Competition Authority for preventing its authorized dealers from trading certain watch models freely.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A note of caution for marketers: Second-hand platforms create massive enrichment opportunities. This prompts consumers to invest into the primary market in search of goods to resell. The vicious cycle continues as consumers keep reinvesting their earnings and creates a \u201cdark side\u201d of the economy.
