In the growing reuse market, CtoC apps are extremely important as a point of contact for new customers, so we will continue to focus on them.

We always prioritize our customers and continuously work on new initiatives and service improvements. Similarly, inラクマ, we have thoroughly focused on improving customer satisfaction in our operations.

Moving forward, we will continue to widely promote the appeal of designer brands and strive to further increase RINKAN fans.

From Tin Pan Alley Co., Ltd.

We are very pleased to have moved up from 3rd place last year.

We believe that maintaining a high level of updated listings throughout the year, which increased customer exposure, was a major factor.

The feature we recommend in WASABI SWITCH is the bulk listing function. By streamlining listings to multiple marketplaces, we were able to quickly expand to various shops.
Going forward, we will continue to pursue creating product pages where customers can shop without anxiety, and we will continue to make improvements with the aim of operating a store that can also be evaluated for the Overall Grand Prize.

From Morita Shichiten Co., Ltd.
We never expected to receive such a wonderful award, and we truly feel that our daily efforts have been recognized.

Rather than doing anything special, we have always prioritized "empathizing with customer anxieties."
Encouraged by this award, we will continue to empathize with our customers and strive to create a shop where they can shop with peace of mind. We also plan to actively expand our sales channels, not only domestically but also with an eye on overseas expansion.

From Watchnian Co., Ltd.

We are deeply honored to receive such a prestigious award. Thanks to everyone, this is our third consecutive genre award! We are filled with gratitude to our customers who support us daily.

Precisely because transactions are not face-to-face, our team has always strived for polite communication that is attentive to each customer. We feel that this accumulation of effort led to this award.
Moving forward, we will continue to advance with our mission at Watchnian: "Unlocking the potential of watches, connecting the circle of societal richness and sustainability."

From STAY GOLD Co., Ltd.

I believe this is the result of the company's overall efforts, including past accumulated work, new challenges, and the support of the EC team and store staff.

Expanding the range of items to include genres different from traditional men's items, such as women's jewelry and accessories, contributed to this result. We will continue to strengthen areas such as bags and watches to develop services that can be used by an even wider range of customers.

From Caro Co., Ltd.

We were aware that major companies usually receive this award, so we are deeply honored to have been chosen from among many sellers.

We feel that rather than implementing any special measures, it was the consistent attitude we have valued since our founding that was recognized.
Thorough authentication of reuse items, accurately conveying product conditions, and offering them at appropriate values. We believe that this accumulation of efforts has led to customer trust and, as a result, this award.
Going forward, we will continue to value the accumulation of basic practices such as thorough authentication and accurate information disclosure, while adapting to changes in times and markets.

From TGM Co., Ltd.

All our employees are very pleased to receive this award. We will continue to aim for a product lineup and services that satisfy many customers, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by expanding the circle of brand apparel reuse.

From BLM Co., Ltd.

We are deeply honored and delighted to receive the "Newcomer Category 1st Place" award this time. We will continue to aim for sales expansion, further refine product quality and shipping speed, and accumulate careful transactions.

From Eagle Co., Ltd.
