Your task: Go shopping

August 27, 2018 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

There are a zillion reasons why a resale shopkeeper needs to go shopping (tell ’em Kate told you to.)

First of all, to gain inspiration. You can Learn-a-Lot (which is why I use that tag here on the blog.)

Second, to find things your shop needs. (I’ve made you a shopping list.)

And right about now, you especially need to patronize your local thrift and resale shops for things that YOUR customers will need soon. (Like this: )

Buy wedding dresses and dye them black. Witch, Morticia, Frankenstein’s bride, the possibilities are endless. And who wouldn’t love to wear a bridal gown for one night?

More thrifted Halloween ideas here on our Pinterest.

Remember, Halloween is the biggest opportunity your shop has all year to attract, please, and convert non-resale shoppers. Help them become a vampire or a werewolf, and you’ll create raging fans from strangers. Learn how to profit from the holiday with our Halloween PDF!

(And because you’re such a good shopper, we’ll throw in all the Christmas Product for the Professional Resaler tips and tricks with your order. ♥)

    Kate, I have sold the Clothes Circuit after 35 1/2 years. The new owners are neighbors of ours in Dallas. He lived across the street from us as a teenager. They have corporate careers and are full of ideas for the place. I am this very morning planting in my garden and going to a chamber music rehearsal of some age mates. My sister and her husband are arriving for a visit this afternoon. While all of this is not a daily occurrence, it is the private life I am ready for. I have appreciated your advice all these years. My compliments for your generosity and wisdom,. I will advise Tom and Shannon to sign up. Be well.

      Congratulations on finding a worthy successor for your beloved shop! I noticed the change in the email campaign and wondered at it. I am sure you are FULL of ideas on all the things you can do now that you’ve handed over the reins… or perhaps I should say “the reign”! Blessings on you.
