Is social media addiction interfering with, rather than helping, your consignment or resale shop?

Read the article.

At least I’m spared some of the affliction, since I don’t have a smart phone. My phone’s dumb. Thank goodness.

Pooping butterflies come Saturday.

How will your consignment shop celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 1?March 2 is Dr. Seuss’ birthday.

How will your shop celebrate? What fun event could you create as a consignment or resale promotion on short notice?

Here’s some quotes to get you thinking:

“From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!” for highlighting the vast selection you have.

“If things start happening, don’t worry, don’t stew, just go right along and you’ll start happening too.”  because your shop is the Happening Place, isn’t it?

and of course “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” for the shop with the unique look, style, and fashions… and the customers who want the same!

Personally, my favorite Seuss quote is

“In my world, everyone’s a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!”

Dr. Seuss even has a Facebook page, if you want to explore some ideas you might use.
