Found: A great Pinterest example for consignment & resale

Click to see how TGtbT.com uses Pinterest to appeal to its customers

Pinning is the perfect way to “say” a thousand words with one carefully chosen graphic.

Remember, people like pictures. If you’re not cross-linking your Pinterest with your other internet presences, you’re not using social media to the max.

I love the various boards, and the pins, on Best Bib and Tucker’s Pinterest page. Gathered here, all sorts of ideas that a shop’s target clientele would be interested in.

I’m still, after 10 minutes of scanning their web site and social media, totally flummoxed as to whether they actually HAVE a shop to shop in, but still, great boards, folks! Thanks for serving as a good example!

Gentle readers, are you interested in hearing more about how you can use Pinterest to build your in-store and/or on-line sales?

I’ve collected up LOTS of resale-pertinent info about this. If you’d like me to gather it all together and present it for your use, simply click the “like” button below.

Enough interest, and I’ll make it happen!
