Using hangtags to show value in consignment

April 19, 2013 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

We were talking about customers wanting to be guided to value in yesterday’s post.

Then someone reminded me of Clothes Circuit in Dallas, which reminded me of this photo I took there of their hangtags:

Clothes Circuit in Dallas is a HowToConsign.com Sponsor

Clothes Circuit helps guide their shoppers:
they have hangtags on Designer goods and no hangtags on standard goods…
then this hangtag/ classification, Fashion Edge, the “bridge” price points/brands, on things that are in between the true luxe brands and the average.

Helps customers navigate the balance between desire and their personal budgets, with the added bonus of making any shop look like a “real” shop.

    I just ordered mine today. Super excited. I think it will help with the customers who don’t know their name brands and are wondering why that plaid skirt is way overpriced at 34.99 (when it’s a Burberry). Wish I would have done this when I opened!

    Very nice. I’m going to work on adding something like that. Thanks for the pictures.

    Yes they do help…I went to Clothes Circuit and copied their fabulous idea…I made up some great looking tags. Would love to post the pics but don’t know how.

      Thanks Martha! Folks, here are her quick shots of her frilly flirty tags… Perfect for a shop called Vintage Vogue, don’t you think?
