Participative economy: the trend reshaping consumption
Participative economy · Équipe Viatous · 4 min
Crowdfunding, group buying, participative sales: a new way of consuming is emerging — more collective and more accessible. A look at a deep trend.
From "every man for himself" to the collective
For a long time, buying a valuable item was an individual matter. Today, communities come together to make these goods accessible to all.
Accessibility at the core
Taking part from €0.50 to try to win an item you couldn't afford alone: that's the spirit of participative selling. Access comes before the high price.
More sustainable consumption
Giving items a second life, avoiding waste, valuing what you own: participative selling fits a more responsible way to consume.
