Yup, you as owner, co-owner, manager of a consignment, resale or thrift shop NEED a portrait. People want to see your lovely face! Use your portrait on your web site, in your blog, periodically on your social media, as a cover photo on Facebook…

Videos are a great way to promote your business, and can be used over and over again, anywhere from TV commercials to social media nudges. Producing a professional video is a wise investment, but deciding on a script is an important decision best NOT left to the videographer. Here’s some great videos from Reclamation, a shop in Bedford PA, that might inspire you to write a script that shows your business just the way you want!
Here’s another cute video from the same shop. I couldn’t find it anywhere but Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shopreclamationconsignment/videos/vb.1603821236510926/1797374680488913/?type=2&theater
Great inspiration, aren’t they? If you have videos promoting your consignment or resale shop, feel free to share them below, in the comments section.

If you DO want to produce a video, click for TGtbT.com’s best advice.
Facebook loves videos, huh? But you have all you can do to keep your consignment or resale shop Facebook page going, without becoming a movie producer, am I right?
Guess what? There’s a down-and-dirty way to fool Facebook into thinking you posted a video and getting all that lovely attention… andFacebook created it FOR you!
(I’ll make it even easier… you don’t really have to upload in your final order, as Donna says.)
See my first attempt. Max 15 minutes spent on it.
Try it yourself. Then come back here to the TGtbT blog and post a link to your creation!
