The Internet: It’s free, but do you get FULL VALUE?
Posted in Shopkeeping talk on September 9, 2011|
Consignment, resale, and thrift shopkeepers are nothing if not thrifty, and we love the options on the internet that are free (or down-right cheap.)
But that doesn’t always mean that we always get full value out of all the wonderful ways there are to publicize our shops, our value, our selection and our expertise.
So next week, we will have a quick and easy series on
simple ways to increase your audience
with no, or little, expense. The series will include the best ideas and resources I have found for you. In fact, there are so many aspects to

(or at least, not any more effort than you are already expending!) that the series might even have to be more than a week.
