How do you utilise returned items?

[shelfistore]

Hi folks,

I'm a Shopify app developer and I have an idea which I would like to discuss through experienced merchants like you.

1. Is there a need for utilizing returned items that either went to low-margin because of a return cost or deteriorated into an unsellable condition?

2. If yes, would it be interesting for you to give it away for some promotion by influencers looking for the same kinda product?

Would really appreciate your feedback!
