Buy your consignment shop a present…

November 21, 2013 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Who better deserves a lovely holiday treat than your resale, thrift or consignment shop? Here’s some suggestions:

Raise your clientele’s expectations, then prove to them that your sign tells the truth!

Come in we're awesome

Click to purchase this from the originator on Etsy.

These plastic hands are inexpensive and versatile props (I like them best holding a small sign) and click through for an idea perfect for building ties with your supporters or volunteers!

Hands for display and for thank-you gifts, says TGtbT.comMore ideas:

  • A good idea that’s been overlooked by the “real” stores… turning a digital photo frame into a mini-slide show.
  • Things you could gift your shop with to make every day a little celebration.
  • And finally, What to Buy Your Shop on Holiday Clearance.

      Steph, you’re more than welcome… and I see you now have one that’s DOUBLY awesome! https://www.etsy.com/listing/179769503/double-sided-open-closed-funny-retail How I wish I could persuade the NFP where I volunteer to use this… but alas, corporate up-tight types….

        Aw, that’s too bad the higher-ups aren’t all for the sign – don’t they think they’re awesome too? Maybe they’ll come around this year. 🙂
