Deja Vuesday: Don’t just sit there and take it.

July 3, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

After all, some Auntie Kate messages are, ahem, Too Good to be Threw!

Deja Vuesday

where you can visit a gently-used, blog post in case you missed it the first time. It’s even better the second time around.

Customers staying away in droves on Friday and Saturday mornings? Quality incoming slowing down?

Why, it must be Garage Sale Season!

They’re cutting into your business.  Yes, even if you think “We don’t deal in garage sale stuff.” Can I tell you of the luxury items I have found at ridiculous prices at garage sales? Well, I don’t have to, do I, ’cause you’ve found them too, or have customers gleefully tell you their stories all day long!

Use garage sales as a marketing tool in your business. Now.

And don’t forget, there’s over 20 email subject lines/ possible blog topics/ Facebook status updates/ tweetable thoughts about this topic in the Manual… pages 194-195 in the latest edition.
