The scariest season in resale & consignment

August 31, 2015 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

No, it’s not the dead of January or those slooww days in July. The scariest season of all is

Halloween.

Why? Because people love it…. more and more each year.  Because you have like THREE WEEKS or so to make or break the opportunity to make your year-round business shine. It’s the best time of year to introduce new customers to your shop. Spend some money advertising in the weeks leading up to the big day. Here’s a tip: reference this FREE handout from HowToConsign.com in your social media. Customers can use it to select their own unique costumes from your shop… or YOU can use it to create, highkight, and sell costumes made up out of your regular stock.

Consignment, resale, and thrift shops can THRIVE at Hallowe'en!

Let me tell you how much people love  Halloween.

My most popular Halloween-themed Pin has received by this day, over 2100 repins. Year-round, it gathers admirers. People like, and look forward to, Halloween!

My most popular Christmas pin? 19 repins. I love the idea, but not in the same league with the Halloween pin.
