Before you bag up all your unsold summer clearance items, click to take a look at this PDF that HowToConsign.com offers consumers. Maybe it’ll give you

some ideas on what to SAVE from your final clear-out.

Collecting up unsold past-season goods to create a costume department in your shop is more than just a way to recycle. It’s more than just a way to make a few extra bucks late in October for the Hallowe’en-shopping folks.
It’s a way to
* Build traffic
* Create incredible Word Of Mouth
* Introduce a whole new demographic to your shop
* Have LOADS to talk about on your blog and Facebook… maybe even some hilarious photos of outfitted customers
* Have loads of fun and laughs

If you truly want to do all that, you need How to have a Frightfully Good Halloween and Build your Costume Business Year-Round which is available as a PDQ, and which, to be quite honest, is one of the most

easily-utilized Products for the Professional Resaler.

After all, we as resale shopkeepers know how to use everything to the max, right?

Some ideas from Shop Sizzle include: flat velveteen pillows as a jewelry display piece, a well-washed linen tablecloth as backdrop in a display picture frame, a hand mirror to hang from a pretty ribbon in a dressing room for a back view.
