Christmas Promo for Consignment & Resale: St. Nick!

November 26, 2018 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Jolly old St. Nicholas brings treats for shopkeepers

On December 6 (or December 5 or December 19, it’s complicated) is St. Nicholas’ birthday. This saint known for gift-giving morphed, along with his name in Dutch Sinterklaas, into, of course, Santa Claus.

St. Nicholas Day is a fun opportunity to promote your resale shop — St. Nicholas Day, though not particularly observed in the US, can be a great hook on which to create a resale shop promotion.

So what does all this history, you may ask, have to do with selling resale merchandise?

Shoes.

Yup, that’s it. Traditionally, children put out their shoes to be filled with either coins/candy/small gifts or coal/twigs, depending on the child’s behavior that year.

So…

How’s about a shoe promo? Raise your best pairs on risers of assorted heights, sprinkle golden coins all around, and sign it

St. Nick filled folks’ shoes with coins on December 6. WE save you coins all year round with our FAB shoe selection!

Imagine golden coins/ tokens tossed throughout this display….
