Back-to-School Time for Consignment, Resale, & Thrift Shopkeepers.

September 2, 2013 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Today’s Labor Day, which means tomorrow is the traditional Back to School First Day for many.

Many, meaning YOU.

Click for some past BTS season ideas on Auntie Kate the Blog.

All of us, no matter how long it’s been since we were a real student, think of this time of year as the season to buck up, to polish our knowledge. (And to buy fun new school supplies, which I secretly still do!)

Here’s 5 easy ways to find the education you’d like to add to your knowledge.

1- Head over to our web site at Too Good to be Threw. On the navigation menu, hover your mouse. You’ll find themed articles for many of your resale concerns.

2- Right here on the Auntie Kate blog, look in the right sidebar. There’s a drop-down menu listing our posts in categories. Explore as you wish. Lower down in that side bar, there’s a “word cloud” of topics here on the blog. Click away!

3- Have a specific topic in mind? There’s a search box for the blog in the upper right of your screen. Works pretty good. (Speaking of which: the search box back at TGtbT.com is really fun… it searches ALL my sites at once! You’ll find it on every  page, upper right, just below my Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest links…)

4- Not sure what you want to read? Our Consignment, resale & thrift info page makes it easy. It’s one of the tabs at the very top of the blog here. (The other tabs up there? New here? gives a quick overview of all the resources available to shopkeepers. And Ask Auntie Kate has reader-submitted and reader-answered as well as Auntie Kate-answered questions about our industry.)

5- All the education above is free. If you’d like to learn more, or more specifics, all the Products for the Professional Resaler are worth their weight in gold. Leastwise, that’s what lotsa shopkeepers tell me.
