A TGtbT.com Teeny Tip:

An excerpt from Resale’s Cheapest Tricks & Best Buys, one of the mini-Products for the Professional Resaler at Too Good to be Threw. See all the “Lunch with Kate” Products.

Here’s a $10-and-under spiff up for your shop. What better time than spring to make a few “Cheapest Tricks & Best Buys” changes?

Get interesting tiles: Ceramic tiles, priced from 50¢ to a dollar or two, come in all sorts of textures, from slate to shiny metallic glazes. Lay them loose in a showcase (try terra cotta under brass merchandise), as a temporary floor in your show window, as a table top.

Mirror tiles, too, add sparkle and light to just about any merchandise. If you sell furniture, put felt pads on the underside of mirror tiles and use to protect table tops from for-sale lamps and knick-knacks placed thereon.

Stick-on cork tiles make a terrific floor in your display window (you can pin hems!) or over wall-hung racks for light-weight wall displays.

Resale’s Cheapest Tricks & Best Buys is just one of the mini-Products for the Professional Resaler available on the Too Good to be Threw “Lunch with Kate” page. Keep a full selection on hand for inspiration in your consignment shop, for staff reading in your resale shop, and even as a supplement to your volunteer manual and training in your NFP thrift store. See which ones you need!
