TMI?

September 4, 2010 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

There is simply Too Much Information out there, isn’t there?

You haven’t got enough time to possibly USE all the great info out there for resale and consignment shops, do you? There’s fuzzies to hunt down and kill, shelves to straighten. Shirts to colorize. Not to mention a life to live.

Count on Auntie Kate to help you.

She sorts out all that information out there into usable ideas for our resale industry. No more wasting time winnowing through advice that would be great…if you were a banker or a restauranteur or a major corporation with offices in ten key cities.Avoid being out of your shop’s staples by pricing slightly higher. If you never have enough of best-sellers, maybe you have underpriced them. from 101 Daily Tips in the Luncheonette.

You want some ideas for promotions especially for resale stores? And how to make money off of them, before during and after? You’d love to see some window display guidelines and themes? How about specific suggestions for dealing in home furnishings, childrenswear, or how to buy outright without losing (pardon the pun) your shirt? No more wishing you could gather the info to actually HELP your business prosper.
Set goals for your promotion. If your event is not a financial windfall but the paper runs a wonderful article, will that be worth the work?
from Promote with Pizzazz in the TGtbT Shop.

How to switch seasons for maximum sales? Hold a bag sale or create a dollar rack? Use the powers of pakaways to make next season bigger, brighter, and better? The ins and outs of pricing, displaying, arranging and advertising the vast selection of used goods that come in your door? No more trying to translate college-professor ideas into what works in real-life resale.
Stars are a holiday theme with terrific promotional ideas. Dozens of stars make great window trim. Hang more from your ceiling. Put one on each dressing room. Give away a How to be a Holiday Star brochure: tips, recipes, and why it’s fun to shop at your place. from Holidays in Resale in TGtbT Shop.

Is your time money? Of course it is. Don’t let TMI drown your business or engulf your personal time. Focus on Products for the Professional Resaler for immediate, useful, and feasible ideas to make your shop be all it can be. Visit the Too Good to be Threw Shop, the TGtbT Layout Ideas Collection, and the Lunch with Kate mini-Products. And get

the information you need to make your shop be all you dream it can be.
