The best ideas come from friends.

December 1, 2011 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Consignment shopkeepers visiting another shop on NARTS Conference bus tour.Doesn’t it seem like the best ideas for your consignment, resale, or thrift shop come from other shops like yours? That’s why we never miss a chance to socialize with our peers, visit shops whenever we’re traveling, or poke around on the Internet looking for good ideas.

Seems like the best ideas, too, are kind of “out of the box.” A bit offbeat. Not staid and boring like those corporate chains.

Take a look at some ideas in Too Good to be Threw’s Thinking Outside the Box page, then tell us your slightly-weird ideas here in the comments. You can email me pictures, if you like… we’d not only like, we’d ADORE to see them!
