Racks getting full? Go vertical.

August 17, 2017 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Racks getting full? Can’t squeeze another thing on them?

Here’s my favorite solution.

Go vertical.

That’s right: hang a curated selection of garments vertically. Try the end of a rack, the first item on each arm of a 2- or 4-way, heck, even a nail in the wall works!

To avoid a mish-mash look, choose similar colors and styles of whatever you’re displaying whether it’s scarves, shirts, or pants.

Piggy back connector from Store Supply as featured on TGtbT's Professional Resaler BlogThe piggyback connector holds 2 garments, and the hanger strip holds up to ten.

With the piggyback connector, you could coordinate a complete 2-way with multiple suggested outfits. Maybe your best sweaters with chinos in a like size? A transitional dress with a cardigan or shrug to take it into cooler weather?

The piggyback is a Godsend to home decor shops trying to keep the napkins with the tablecloth!

The hanger strip, with larger capacity, is best for light-weight goods. Camisoles or leggings? Onesies? Or use the strip to keep the complete set of 8 placemats together.

When your resale shop's running out of rack space, go vertical, suggests Auntie Kate of TGtbT.com in this blog entryBe sure to comparison-shop for these. Watch that you don’t overpay! (FYI The links I have used here are the best prices I’ve found.)
