You got a personality, right? So USE it.

August 11, 2011 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

I am so depressed when I see a web site, blog, Facebook entry or even a tweet which is devoid of personality.Great Halloween costume, BTW

I mean, we all got a personality, right?

So why not use it.

Now I admit, my personal personality is a bit judgmental, I know (once a friend described me as “does not suffer fools gladly”), but geez, guys. Statements like I will be needing Retail help soon at my Used Furniture store (yeh, and….?) or Great shoes, great price. (Tell me WHY they’re so great, or my eyes will roll and I’ll be on to another social media venue.)

It’s a lot more meaningful, engaging, and heck, just more fun to be yourSELF

with messages like When you have a rough day, sometimes the ONLY answer is a kick~azz pair of new cowboy boots and We’re obsessed with these Gucci boots!! or Cute as a button~

Oh, and BTW: get to it.

Unlike these examples: Customers always ask what are we in need of or looking for. So, I’m putting the word out… and please pass it along… or AUCTION ITEM RIGHT NOW..COME ON OVER

Another BTW: that photo’s a great idea for a Halloween costume. And you KNOW Halloween’s the BIGGEST holiday for consignment, resale, and thrift shops, doncha?
