And we have a winner on HowToConsign.com!

March 26, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Sharon of Little Green Beans in Austin TX entered the Retail Means Jobs video contest mentioned on Auntie Kate the Blog 6 weeks ago , and just got word that her video tour of her resale shop has been

selected in the top 40 of all entries!

We couldn’t be prouder of this young HowToConsign.com Sponsor Shop.

Sharon writes:

I wrote the script and had a couple of my team members, including my PR consultant review it. I worked with a small, local videographer called Framed Panda. They reviewed the script and filmed the video at my store Little Green Beans.
  • To produce the video, which is under 2 minutes was $125.
  • Total investment of my time was less than four hours over 3 weeks.

Take a look:

Sharon, of course, has the video on the home page of her site, edited a bit so it suits her specific clientele better. See the edited version of Little Green Beans’ video tour  here. Back on Little Green Beans’s YouTube channel, you can see more of Sharon’s videos.

Next up for Sharon? A How To Consign video, which she’s been kind enough to ask me to take a look at before taping. I’m happy to lend her my eye/experience, since Little Green Beans is a Sponsor Shop at HowToConsign.com !

If your shop isn’t on our Directory of Consignment, Resale and Thrift Shops, join us today. You’ll find it even more economical than Sharon’s video.

    That is wonderful! Our video for Rung also made the Top 40 and we wouldn’t have known about it, if it weren’t for you, Katie —- So thank you! From the bottom of our hearts.

    You’re the best,
    The Rung Team

      Hey, Rung, that’s super… where can we see the video? I’m so happy to have alerted your team to the possibilities… that means that 2 out of 40 finalists are not only RESALERS but TGtbT.com fans. Makes all my work worthwhile!
