Posted in Really good ideas, Shopkeeping talk, tagged display, holidays on February 1, 2014|
For a quick and easy (and inexpensive!) way to have a whole showcase full of gift suggestions in your consignment or resale shop, I didn’t have to hunt any further than this pin from a craft-show blog.
Using dollar-store note cards, wrapping paper for a “carpet” and maybe a few paper doilies here and there to act as “spotlights” on your best offerings, a full showcase with this display can be set up in an hour and show your shoppers that heirloom, vintage, nostalgic… (or even gasp bought-new-from wholesalers) jewelry makes a great gift for family and friends.

- A Get-To-Know-Us handout to new suppliers for at least the first 3 months of 2014!
Play around with the idea… wouldn’t it make your perceived business image a lot more local and friendly to your clientele?

Bitter truth. Fewer shopping days, this year, between Thanksgiving and Christmas. That means folks will be even more harried than usual, and less likely to take the time to visit your shop. So make your shoppers so happy, they’ll think you’re Santa. Or that you hung the moon. Or both.
