Inspiration among the Electrons

August 22, 2011 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Resale makes my heart RACE!Cruisin’ the web today, found a nice little list you might wish to use

as inspiration for your shop’s web site, blog, next mailing, business card, ad, bag stuffer… or even as a starting point to develop your press kit’s Q&A page. (Remember: Inspiration, not plagiarism!)

Mike’s Top Ten Habits of Savvy TCW Shoppers:
1.They stop by TCW at least once a week.
2. They TAKE THEIR TIME wandering through the store.
3. They let us know what room they are working on, and what things they’re
looking for so we can call them when something they “have to see” comes in.
4. They don’t hesitate when they find something they love.
5. They take advantage of our test drive policy.
6. They ask about the stories behind the items.
7. They use their camera phones to send pics to their spouses.
8. They never miss one of our Private Sales.
9. They join our @list club to find out first.
10. They tell their friends and neighbors.

The list comes from here.

    Just gave me an inspiration…I am going to buy individual index card boxes for each of my sales girls and ask for them to start their own wish list. We have a general for all wish list box…but I think it gets forgotten pretty easy. And get each one to Tell 20 of our future sales. Just telephone 20 of their clients and tell them about the sell. I need to get them more involved. Thanks for the inspiration!
