NTY Clothing Exchange is the resale store with awesome brands and killer deals, so teens and young adults can look fierce without going flat broke. In fact, most of the merchandise within our stores is marked at about 70% off of original retail prices! From floor to ceiling, the stores are serious about style. They are always super-clean, well-organized and stocked full of one-of-a-kind designs.

NTY Clothing Exchange is for all shapes and sizes; we buy and sell trendy, fun fashions in sizes 1-19, S-XXL for girls and sizes 28-40 and S-XXL for guys.

NTY Clothing Exchange is unique because it’s not consignment or thrift, it’s upscale resale. We pay CASH On-the-Spot for gently-used, on-trend clothing, shoes and accessories; or we offer store credit for 25% more. Our resale brand puts money back into the pockets of the people in the community and promotes the reuse of goods, which also benefits the environment.

Fun events, constantly changing inventory and amazing sales are always happening at NTY Clothing Exchange stores, and every time customers walk in the door, they can expect a friendly staff that provides great customer service.

So Why Teen and Young-Adult Fashion?

Teens and young adults love fashion and are developing a style of their own. They enjoy buying the hottest trends—and especially love the prices at NTY Clothing Exchange.

Since most teens and young adults are either full-time students or are working their first job, being able to afford the freshest fashion isn’t usually something they are able to do without a lot of saving beforehand. NTY Clothing Exchange offers them a solution: at our stores, they get the trendiest selection of clothing, shoes and accessories at much lower prices that fit their budget.

Also, NTY Clothing Exchange is an entire store, not just a section of a big-box retailer, that is set up just for them. The environment is current and cool, and the merchandise is unique and always changing. Teen and young-adult fashion is not a passing fad; it’s a huge business that will continue to grow because teens and young adults change sizes and style preferences right along with evolving fashion trends.

Who is Our Target Customer?

Our ideal customers are teenagers and young adults that live within a 30-mile radius of our store. They lead very active lives, balancing school, extra curricular activities, a social life and often a part-time job. O

ur target customers are strongly tied to their friends and their smartphones. They follow fashion trends closely and share similar tastes with their peers. They want to be fashionable and wear their favorite name brands. Because NTY Clothing Exchange’s target customers rely on their parents or part-time jobs for shopping money, they appreciate our amazingly low prices. Guys and gals in this group are learning to be independent, and they are likely to ask for assistance from a friendly, knowledgeable staff to find what they are looking for or to get their questions answered.

Millennials

Our Millennial customers are women and men ages 21 to 35. They are defined as confident, tolerant and networked. They know what they want. Also, they have a defined sense of style in their personal life, but may be entering the workforce and are required to wear business-casual outfits from 9:00 to 5:00, five days a week. They look to us to provide them with fun, stylish weeknight and weekend clothing at a great price.

Many Millennials may have high levels of student loan debt, so our prices suit their financial needs. This generation is civic-minded with a strong sense of community, both local and global. They are very connected, and their world is mobile. Social media, smartphones and mobile computing are critical to their daily life so, we must have a strong online and social media presence in order to connect with them.

Our Generation Z customer group is comprised of guys and gals between the ages of 10 and 20. These tweens and teens have grown up with technology at their fingertips and, from a very young age, have maintained social media accounts and essentially a personal brand for the world to see.

Big events in their short life include 9-11 and an economic recession, which brought concerns for security and safety to the forefront within their families and the communities around them. Competition is greater in many aspects of their lives, including education, athletics and the arts. As a result, most Generation Z guys and gals are driven and focused on their short and long-term goals.

This up-and-coming generation looks to us to provide them with unique fashion finds that will help them to develop their personal style. And when they find a store they love, they share the news with their friends and social media followers.

Our Generation X (Gen X) customers are women and men ages 35 to 50, and they are oftentimes parents of tweens and teens. Gen X customers are highly educated and usually well-established in their careers, so they are extremely busy with work and family activities. They are not typically as tied to social media sites as the Millennial group, but they are keen on trends because they have children growing up in our technology-dependent world.

Providing for their family is top priority, but with college on the horizon, they strive to teach their kids to be smart with money. This includes picking up a part-time job and buying their own clothing. Gen Xers look to our store as a high-value option for their teenagers to find their favorite brands and styles for great prices.
