It’s funny, how a simple email subject line can make you feel really, well, close to a company.
This is a simple acknowledgement that my e-order is being fulfilled. Thousands of companies send out hundreds of thousands of acknowledgement emails a day. But the message I got is
You have great taste!
And isn’t that a nice compliment to receive? Try it today on those folks who come up to your sales counter and give you their money. Watch them light up. Feel how much warmer they’ll feel about your shop.
I want to be your friend….

It’s Oatmeal Month! and other assorted holidays…

Who can resist the fact that January is Oatmeal Month?
The perfect month for something cozy.
And the perfect month for giving your customers an additional reason to get out of the house and into your consignment or resale shop. Not to mention some word-of-mouth (oatmeal, get it? Word of mouth? Ha. I’m so funny.)
You could give away packets of oatmeal, do a spectacular window of oatmeal-hued furnishings (complete with an accent of colorful oatmeal bowls all over!) or clothing, run ads saying that shopping resale’s like the blueberries/ raisins in your oatmeal… even just make up a little booklet of oatmeal recipes and remedies as a giveaway, branded with your shop name.
And if we can do all THAT just with oatmeal, imagine all the fun we’d have with other holidays.
Find some that tickle your taste buds and add them to your yearly promotional calendar:
- A nice list, all on one page, at Time and Date.
- Days of the Year has just that.
- For immediate gratification, check out Checkiday. (Tip: Click the red right-pointing arrow to find a little more lead time!)
- The Social Media Genie gives you a head’s-up a few weeks in advance.
- Bizarre, wacky, and unique holidays (their wording, not mine!)
