Thinking out of the case! Jewelry displays for consignment, resale & thrift shops

Posted in Shopkeeping talk, tagged , , on February 25, 2014|

Your consignment, resale or thrift store doesn’t need to always put all your jewelry in cases. (We talked about making showcases more interesting a whole back.)

Thinking-outside-the-case ideas of how to display jewelry in a fast-moving shop:

Love this idea for a little wall space… especially if your shop’s branding is nature/ natural. It’s not? Spray-paint the bamboo placemat black, or silver, or your store’s signature color.

Didn’t you love, as a child, “snooping” through your grandmother’s top drawer? Recreate that treasure-hunt with a dresser and a collection of tea cups holding small adornments.

Having a tiny space within your shop that looks like it holds wonderful little treasures intrigues customers and breeds Word of Mouth… here’s an example!

There’s lots more Pinteresting inspiration on both Too Good to be Threw Pinterest and How To Consign Pinterest. Follow them all!

Out & About: The judicious use of lamps

Posted in Not-for-Profit Resale, Shopkeeping talk, tagged , on August 20, 2013| 4 Comments »

Once again, Kate’s out and about, looking for ideas to help consignment, resale and thrift shopkeepers make their merchandise absolutely irresistible! Today, we’re talking lamps.

Yum! A mini-chandelier lights up an array of previously-adored home decor items. Notice, too, the small table in front of the armoire, the two trays on top of the table, and all the for-sale goodies within.

Another ajar armoire (say that 3 times fast!), this time with a small table lamp, a mirror, and more. Makes each piece look SO much more interesting and desirable. Now that's using all your space!
