Posted in Really good ideas, Shopkeeping talk, tagged merchandising, resale shopkeeping, selling, web on February 19, 2016|
If you want to sell more, give your fans more ways to use what you’re selling.
Reimagine a piece of merchandise in your shop.
Turn a drab dresser into something with WOW factor, or reuse one of those dangerous cribs for a youth desk. Make a wedding dress into a christening gown. Whatev. Point is, to show your social media audience that they too can be creative when they find something interesting in your shop.
Document your transformation with how-to photos and post as a series on your blog, web site, social media.
Don’t have any way to do that? Turn your series of photos (3-5 is the ideal number, with captions of course) into a broadcast e-mail with the subject line: “MyShop is Playing Around… Come Join Us!”

I was early this Saturday for a meeting, and decided to stop by a small consignment shop I’d visited before.
Theda Bara, shown here in 1917, would have loved to see your Weird & Wonderful shop racks!
It’s a perfectly-fine shop, and I’ve bought here before, so I thought I might find a treasure or two.
What I found?
