I love getting mail, don’t you? Even e-mail… when it’s from my consignment, thrift, and resale peers!
You can learn so much from the notices, newsletters, and info your counterparts send out. You really should, if you don’t already, add your name to others’ e-mailing lists and pay attention to what they tell their clientele.
Here’s a terrific example of an ideathat came to me via e-mail:
PRESELL your bags online for your next Bag Sale!
A non-profit, Career Wardrobe in Philadelphia, is doing just that. Their loyal followers can pre-purchase a bag for their sale for $20 online.
What a great way to get your customers to commit to coming to your sale (and maybe, even, inspire those who can’t come into making what amounts to a $20 donation)!
The shop doesn’t have a different price for online or at the door but I, personally, would… even just a $5 savings buying online versus at the door would motivate a lot of shoppers…
… and mentioning that “presold bag holders” get in the express entry line the day of the sale would REALLY motivate, don’t you think?
