So what’s to see in your shop?

March 11, 2013 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

An excerpt from How to Switch Seasons Easily & Profitably, a TG Product for the Professional Resaler:

That awkward “in-between” season

So what’s to see in your shop in those switch-over months?

If your seasonal clearance is over and done with, and the new season is not yet coming in in great quantities, what will you be selling?

* The new incoming, which is not as much as it will be during the height of your selling season, but still it’s coming in. If you’ve never used a New Arrivals Rack and signage, now’s the perfect time to see how it works for you.
* Any last-year pakaways you finally have room for, now that consignor-owned goods are thinning out. These might include newly separated pieces (selling the jacket and the pants from an out-of-date pant set separately) or the recently-wed (matching a scarf to a jacket, which had been individual pieces before).
Switch Seasons Easily and Profitably* Any pakaways that you put aside on purpose to offer at a bargain price (these might be waning-season ODs that came in early in the season that you had to pull in the course of the past season to make room for freshly-consigned goods: put them back out on the sales floor at their last MD or less).
* Purchased outright, or found-at-the-thrifts store-owned goods.
