At Conference, a gentleman came up to me and complained he didn’t know how to.

get ahold of me. I scrambled around for a cocktail napkin to scribble my phone number on before I caught myself.

He wasn’t enamored of ME, but of Kate Holmes, AKA Auntie Kate. Turns out, he wanted to know all the places on the Internet where he could “see” me.

I took my injured ego to bed that night and forgot that gee, that’s a good idea, I really should let people know…

So without further ado (or ego):

Where to find Kate

(bookmark these sites in a folder.  Call it “Ideas to make my shop be all I dream it CAN be!” Just a thought…)

I search out info to help shopkeepers start a consignment shop, grow their resale shop, even make their thrift shop thrive, at:

My flagship site, The Premier Site for Professional Resalers, is http://tgtbt.com/ That’s also where my Products for the Professional Resaler are available along with articles and about 100 pages of resale ideas.

Kate’s blog: https://auntiekate.wordpress.com/ “Where Kate Holmes, Industry Icon of TGtbT.com, gets to hector, lecture, and browbeat the good shopkeepers of Resale-dom” There’s over 1200 posts to peruse!

And these places, where I enlighten, educate and (hopefully) amuse YOUR potential shoppers and suppliers, and raise the visibility of the resale industry:

The site where I PRE-educate your potential clients & highlight the resale industry, is http://howtoconsign.com/ where for less than a quarter a day, your shop can be listed and perceived as supportive of the industry you are in… not to mention have your link(s) on the #1-Google-ranked site PLUS improve your business’s search engine ranking.

The resale lovers’ blog How To Consign has a consumer-oriented blog! HowToConsign.org covers the 3 aspects of the resale industry: ReSell* RePlace*ReJOICE!
