It’s never too early for Halloween.

Stir up profits with Halloween for Resale Shops, a TGtbT.com Product for the Professional Resaler

Stir up profits with Halloween for Resale Shops, a TGtbT.com Product for the Professional Resaler

Consignment, resale, and thrift shopkeepers are often AGHAST when the “real” stores start marketing Halloween in August.

But here’s the consumer news straight from the consumers’ mouths.

Getting MAJOR attention: My HowToConsign Pinterest posts here (and even my TGtbT Pinterest Board here) from regular folk. As is my aimed-at-shoppers free PDF at HowToConsign.com about costumes. You know what that means.

They are looking forward to Halloween!

Yes, in mid-August.

See why Halloween is THE most important holiday on the resale calendar. Ignore or delay at your own peril! (Sounds of ghostly cackling, off-stage.)

Make Halloween a major money-maker in your shop with this Product for the Professional Resaler. If this advice doesn’t raise your shop’s profile in your community year-round, I’ll eat my witch’s hat.

    With our Back to School traffic, we hang our Halloween costumes and playwear in August. Just on the floor for 2 days now, we have a lot of interest and sales to boot! 🙂

      And customers who are preoccupied with back to school right now, will remember your costume selection when it’s time for that, right? Way to go!
