Auntie Kate The Resale Expert

They’re piling up: more statements from resale shopkeepers who seem to forget that, gee willikers, it’s all about the CLIENTS, not the shop and its owners. Here’s a cluster of so who gives a darn about you statements collected in less than 15 minutes on resale shop web sites. Can’t get over how these writers never thought about WIIFM

Hope they’re not from YOUR site 😉

I take great pride in the fantastic selection of clothing and the fabulous prices.
I carry a combination of well-known designer and popular brand names
Some of my consignment guidelines are listed below for your convenience.

Then there’s the defensive statements like We have 8 years of experience with what will or will not sell in the store, We have extensive shopping experience and do know how much clothing costs. The last comment we have is that many people over-value their clothing. Fall clothing does not mean winter wool, heavy items or sweaters, etc. Oh, yeh, this is a person I’d like to be a partner in consigning with.

And then, the just plain confusing statements, like: All beige, white, green and blue ticketed merchandise is 75% off. All pink ticketed merchandise is 50% off. All yellow ticketed merchandise is 25% off. Print out the coupon to save an additional 20% off your total purchase.Take an extra 25% off the following categories: Swimwear Coverups Shorts Sundresses Sandals HURY IN AND SAVE! All new customers will receive 20% off their total purchase. Existing customers will receive 20% to 50% off their next purchase, depending on how many new customers they send to the store. For consignors who usually don’t shop in the store, each new customer will increase the consignors share of the sale by 5%, up to 60%, from the usual 40%.

And yes, the entire preceding paragraph is from one store. Can you say How much is that doggie in the window?
