Nothing worse than a web site with cobwebs.
You know, the pictures from the wrong season, past addresses, a notice about a sale that was last month (or year.)
And it’s a pain to design a layout that works well.
And who has time to learn how to update their web site themselves?
You CAN have an attractive, easily-update-able web site AND blog for your consignment, resale or thrift shop by using a WordPress.com FREE blog.
Read this article (and the articles it links to) and our series on web sites for consignment, resale and thrift shops here on the blog and the TGtbT.com guide to blogging.
The best part(s) of this? The time you spend creating social media on Facebook etc could be zero... because you set your blog posts to appear there automatically. So your followers can see your info on social media, in their email, in your broadcast emails, as YOU choose. And your info about your sale or event or tips for shopping… are there for you to refer back to as often as you like!

These lightweight molded forms enhance everything from wedding gowns to prom dresses to summer frocks.
Bust forms make even humble garments look better. Imagine how nice this would have been with them:
Some Resources:
- InStore Design Display, has sturdy forms.
- Store Supply has economy versions, if your usage will be light.
