Snow-bound audiences…

January 13, 2011 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

In the last few days, when resale and consignment shopkeepers were slow, or maybe even housebound, the readership here as well as on Too Good to be Threw, the Premier Site for Resale Professionals and HowToConsign.com, Turning your Cluttered Closets into Cash, has MUSHROOMED!

Which doesn’t mean that I have suddenly become even more fascinating than normal… but it does mean that

people have the time to e-visit right now.

Hope you have the time to take advantage of this weather-driven happening and can visit back with them:

  • Will you send out a nice informative e-newsletter?
  • A blog entry that will tell them something that they’d like to know about your business, your merchandise, your community?
  • Maybe they’ll even spend some time looking at your photo gallery on Facebook and see all the wonderful displays you put together, outfits or room vignettes you have assembled.
  • Or maybe they’d appreciate some links from your site to other sites that can help them live better: stain-removal tips? Why consign?
  • Fashion hints?  How to de-clutter?

Use this enforced slow-down of life to strengthen your relationship with your clientele and to find new customers as well.

Take advantage of their…and your…down time.

And you’ll be able to count on business mushrooming…as soon as the weather improves.
