Rung is a not-for-profit shop which operates with donated goods, and I think all resale shopkeepers can imagine that these types of shops have even more challenges to face at the incoming area than consignment and buy-outright shops!
Study this video and think about how your shop could use something similar for your web site or blog.
Don’t you LOVE how they have, at the end, a little bit on shopping, and of course, all the contact info needed to pop on over there? See all the videos Rung created here.

Kate, We love getting ALL your emails but what a wonderful surprise to see this in our Inboxes the other day! Thanks so much for noticing our video and sharing it with others. – Mallarie, Exec. Dir., Rung & Sprung Boutiques
Thanks for being a part of the resale community, Mallarie!
Love the video- well done, homorous and reflective of a quality business.We are inspired to create our own!
Would love to see it when you get it done, Lida! Hope you have a few volunteers or supporters with some video making skills!
I liked the idea of giving your donors a bonus for bringing in items on the “wish list”. Maybe extend that idea and give a discount for bringing items in the desired condition – clean, on hangers, seasonal, etc.
I noticed that idea as well, Jan! “The Premium List”… but I wouldn’t give discounts for simply bringing things in “the right way” (Heck, how about a “you must pay 10% more ’cause you’re a PITA” coupons 😉 )
What a great video. Thank you Katie’s Kloset On The Square Women’s Consignment Shoppe 31 E. Granville St Located inside Village Square Antique Mall Sunbury, Ohio 43074 614-804-0646
