Deja Vuesday: A better way to advertise your season-end sale in your consignment shop

July 20, 2010 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Nice enough sign, I guess..but will it really draw traffic?Ditch the screaming SALE signs that every small business seems to use. BECAUSE every small business uses them, they become “invisible”, background noise.

Put some personality, and some word-of-mouth worthiness, into your window displays

as you reach the end of your summer clearance sales. Then after summer’s all gone, use this idea to remind your clientele that it’s fast approaching Back-to-School time!

The idea? Seen at the mall…

Heck, this idea can be used any time of year…and could easily become your shop’s signature look.

Think about everything that could be in the bubble.

      Glad you like the idea… I thought it was pretty cool too…and SO appropriate for using the phrases your target audiences would truly USE.
