Deja Vuesday

Love your social media followers? Wish they’d actually STOP and READ your message? You can get your message across without driving yourself crazy writing.

Repurpose the Proven

Posted in Really good ideas, Shopkeeping talk, tagged , , , , on April 2, 2018| 2 Comments »

This one’s not of our industry… but imagine the fast-forward technique of you dressing a mannequin or accessorizing a bookcase!

Here’s a how-to article and more info plus great ideas and examples!

Free videos? Of course. If you’re too busy/ distracted/ unclear on the concept, try a freebie.
Maker Moon has some great ones. Take a look at their “Accordion Slider” which to me is SO perfect for resale. 5 captions, 5 models… 5 reasons to choose your shop, whether it’s resale, consignment or thrift, and whether you sell women’s fashion, kidswear, home furnishings or… anything!

Makermoon does other formats too, as in Instagram, Facebook… or blog 🙂 Here’s one I made in a few moments.

It’s not enough to say #shoplocal.

Asking your community to #shoplocal is not enough. You need to show them What’s in It for Me?

Tell them WHY shopping local is good for THEM, says TGtbT.com

They don’t care that you’re the “lifeblood of our community”. They’re looking for the why’s, the how-come’s, what they will get out of shopping local.
