The dollars per square foot are sky-high!

May 14, 2014 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

If your consignment, resale or thrift shop has some closets… you are one lucky shopkeeper!

Turn your closet into a full-fledged department!

Too Good to be Threw believes even closets can SELL!

Keep your merchandise mix in a single mood… here, a shabby romantic feel… and notice that it’s the added lamps that make a difference! Your sales tally from this little, otherwise-wasted space can be incredible.

More on using lamps.

    ok kate, this couldn’t have been more ironic….spent last night scrubbing out the little bathroom in my shop (not used)…took door off, added shelves and “hid” the toilet, turning it yet into more space for displays. It is quirky cute….I was on the fence, but then thought it was prime ‘real estate’ in the shop, so why not? So far, the reactions from friends and family has been positive…wouldn’t recommend it for a public use bathroom, though. ahhhh the glamorous life of a shop owner… xoxo
