Web-Cleaning Day!

November 11, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Today’s a good day to slip into some high heels, Clean up your consignment, resale, or thrift shop web sitecinch your wasp waist into a frilly apron, and clean up the web.

 

Your web site, that is.

Here’s a series of posts here on Auntie Kate the Blog to give you some motivation.

After you’ve read the series, download our free PDF, Your Website Ranking Quiz, and see how well your consignment, resale, or thrift website is working to actually get paying customers and valuable suppliers into your store.

If you have, have had, or want to have a blog, skim over the handout from my NARTS workshop. More on blogging to get real live customers into your real live store. (Tip: Your web site is your brochure. Your blog is your magazine.)

Is your web site just too much to tackle this week (I feel the same way about my office)? Then take 5 minutes to learn how to use your email to better your business.

Or check out these Facebook-for-resale-shops tips and links.

Don’t do your own web housework? Make note of what you’d like to change, and pop it into an email to your site keeper.

What would YOU like to change about your web site? How have you been using email to boost business? What would you like to share with your fellow resalers? And just how many dust bunnies DID you slaughter?

The illustration’s from catholiclane.com but I don’t know where they got it from. She doesn’t look particularly Catholic to me.
