Hope you’re really Razzle-Dazzling
Them in 2010!
This Blast from the Past is even more important now than it was then.
Wowing your clientele puts more Wow in your Wallet. Yes, even in these “hard times.”
ReSell RePlace ReJoice…and let them KNOW you do!
Forget the New Year’s Resolutions for a moment. Don’t beat yourself up with stuff you know you NEED to do.
Instead, indulge yourself today and think about how great you are and how far you’ve already come.
Go ahead, think about what you are proud to have accomplished in your consignment or resale shop last year.
Good for you! Have you let your marketplace’s consumers know about it? Although that in itself, communicating with potential customers, might be your proudest feat! A lot of you have utilized the Twitter and Facebook world this year, including me.
Has your feat been a journey worthy of passing on to your peers? Let us know. We LOVE success stories from the biggest to the smallest, toughest to most gee why didn’t I think of that?
So tell us, what wonderful thing did you do, business-wise, last year? Why was it successful and in what way? What would you warn us against doing? And how do you plan on building on or expanding your success in 2010?
Go ahead: Be PROUD and be LOUD. It’s just us resale fans here, sitting on the bleachers. Brag. Strut. Show off your stuff. We encourage justifiable pride on this, the first day of the New Year.

It might be…if you buy holiday items from your clientele NOW…
You can do this whether you’re a consignment shop or a BOR. You’ll need to let them know via broadcast email, Twitter, Facebook:
- “save the packing away, the hauling up to the attic and then remembering to haul it DOWN at Halloween next year”,
- “decided you didn’t like those ornaments, Santas, garlands and serving pieces as much as you used to? Turn them into cash to pay your Christmas bills”.
…and you need Continue Reading »
