Some reading matter for consignment, resale and thrift shops.

April 16, 2015 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

I’ve collected up quite a few (liar. A whole closet-full.) PDFs from around the web that you might find useful in building, growing, and polishing your shop. Take a moment and bookmark this post in your “Shop Success” file (you do have one of those, right?) because they’re not easy to find, and because, even if you don’t need them today, you will, someday.

Quick resources:

A fill-in-the-blanks employee review from The Retail Doc (as discussed on the NARTS group recently)

Extraordinary Customer Service, a must for your staffers’ reference folders, from Rick Segel

      Thank, Linda… I have SO many more, but let’s see if these are helpful to our peers, first.
