Shopper Stoppers

Posted in Shopkeeping talk, tagged , , , on September 1, 2014| 1 Comment »

Put down that gun.

The tagging gun, of course. Or the broom, dishcloth, your phone.

Watch the next 6 potential customers who walk through your shop door. Who’s wandering aimlessly… and who wanders right out again, never having been stopped by a display, a sign, a swing shop… or even a single piece of exceptionally interesting merchandise? Why didn’t they stop? Could it be that your shop is not putting its best party face forward?

One of the goals in your consignment or resale shop should be to

stop shoppers in their tracks.

Look at all the shopper-stoppers I found in this one photo!

Using her (pink-bathing-capped) head.

You can have a promo for a few hours or a day… or you can hold it and reap the benefits and goodwill for long after.

Ice bucket challenge goes BIG on AuntieKate.wordpress.comAnd Marianne Evans, owner of Your Best Friend’s Closet, a HowToConsign.com Sponsor Shop, used her pink-bathing-capped head for her latest shop happening.

Not only did the shop do promotion before the event: the trending Ice Bucket Challenge, but they went BIG, as in the Fire Department coming to fill a dunk tank in their parking lot…

But they also, since they were collecting funds for the ALS Challenge, set up a GoFundMe link for their Facebook followers who missed the chance to dunk Marianne, her staff, and business associates she challenged with a well-tossed ball.

Resale's BEST Promotions from TGtbT.comNow that’s a perfect example of expanding the impact your events have on your business…and a perfect example, too, of what you can learn from Resale’s BEST Promotions, a Too Good to be Threw Product for the Professional Resaler. Get your copy PDQ from TGtbT.com

The shop raised almost $1000 for ALS in the IceBucketChallenge… and raised their community visibility a thousand-fold as well! Follow Your Best Friend’s Closet on Facebook.
