If you want to use graphics, pictures, clip art in your consignment or resale social media posts, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Here’s several lists of free sources for you to explore:
Tip #1 from Auntie Kate: If a source doesn’t have a search capability, skip it… unless you have more time than Methuselah. On the other hand, be open to exploring these sources… a beautiful photo of a mountain path could inspire you to post about “the path less taken: shopping resale to create your unique look”
Tip #2 from Auntie Kate: Set some time aside for going through these sources…. some will appeal to your business image more than others… and save, as you go, the images that look good for your shop. How I do this? I create a folder for each source, then within that folder I name the image by as many keywords as I can come up with, so when I need them later, I can find them with a simple search. For example, this image I’d save as “prom teen black satin gown sit ” so I’d be able to find it whether I’m posting about prom, sitting pretty, special occasion gowns or teen shoppers.
Don’t neglect finding out about copyright and public domain. And pay attention: some of these sites finance themselves by making paid images the ones you first see, so don’t use an image which isn’t free by mistake.
