A Weekend Warrior Idea: Quick and easy things to do to improve your retail shop.

Every consignment, resale, and thrift shop should develop and use branding: a specific look, feel, and approach to writing for their shops. It allows your potential clientele to identify your marketing messages immediately…ah, yes, that’s Macy’s when they see a red star, or The Gap when they see that dark-blue square.

But I’m gonna give you a pass today. Break out of your mold.

Learn how changing your Twitter background can make customers smile. That’s light-hearted and fun.

And oh so easily done. Take a look at some. Bookmark a few, and feel free to change your Twitter background as often as you like.
