Who can count the counters… the sales counter, that is.

April 26, 2013 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

It’s been a while since we talked about your sales counter, (cash wrap, check-out desk, whatever you want to call it) and how vital it is to the operation, appearance, and actual branding of your consignment, resale, or thrift shop it is. As one resaler said to me: “Why do they think your sales counter mess is invisible?

It’s not your private office: it’s your reputation!”

How I agree. Go read the post first, then feast your eyes on these examples of professional, image-enhancing sales and acceptance counters. Click the pix to read more about what I say about them. I guarantee,

you’ll never look at yours the same way again.

Cash wrap with impulse items, a place to consult, and nice recycled wood! From AuntieKate.wordpress.com

    They are all lovely. However, I must be the only boutique in the world who had the fire marshall and building inspector measuring my countertop for ADA compliance before a CO was given. When they quit popping in for surprise visits, I will change mine out.
