As part of its full-year results in October 2022, ASOS announced plans to right-size its stock portfolio. Working with Secret Sales provides an additional route for ASOS to clear stock efficiently. Purchases of ASOS products on Secret Sales will be fulfilled by ASOS using its existing fulfilment infrastructure and capability, including packaging and shipping, ASOS said in a press release.

The alliance launches initially in the UK, with all of the selected discounted items no longer being available on ASOS as products will be housed on Secret Sales. ASOS will be refreshing inventory fortnightly with plans in the pipeline to grow the selection of products available.  

“We’re pleased to be offering Secret Sales customers access to Asos products for the first time. It’s been a huge effort from everyone involved to get this partnership up and running in a short space of time. We’re looking forward to seeing how we can develop our relationship with Secret Sales,” Jag Weatherley, corporate transformation director at Asos, said

“Our focus is in helping brands and retailers deliver a long-term sustainable and profitable solution to clear non-full-price inventory, without having to compromise on margin or erode brand equity. We’re incredibly excited to be welcoming Asos to our Secret Sales seller community and supporting their long-term strategy for managing off-price inventory,” Matt Purt, co-founder and chief commercial officer at Secret Sales, said.
