Kate’s got a recipe for your Halloween success
Yesterday here on Auntie Kate the Blog, we had the grand unveiling of the TGtbT.com Pinterest Board,
Lots of visuals there to help your thrift, consignment or resale shop be the hit of the town!
Today, we unveil not ONE but TWO Pinterest Boards over on HowToConsign.com’s Pinterest, that you can direct your viewers to, even if you aren’t a HTC Sponsor. After all, we all deserve some Halloween fun, resale-style!
and, for home decorating ideas (hey, I won’t tell if you use them in-shop as well)
which will have holidays added to it (can’t wait for you and your resale shop fans to see the ideas!) as the “buying season” for that holiday approaches, so keep it bookmarked.
Delight and inspire your customers by linking (from your blog, Twitter, or Facebook or in your next broadcast email) to the entire collection of consumer-oriented HTC Pinterest Boards (use the link http://pinterest.com/howtoconsign/ ), an individual board there like http://pinterest.com/howtoconsign/halloween-costumes-from-resale-thrift-finds/, or an individual pin like http://pinterest.com/pin/105834659964264406/
Pat yourself on the back for inspiring resale shops across the continent (if your shop is already a Professional Resaler Sponsor of HTC) or thank a shop who already is a HTC Sponsor (they’d welcome your shop to the Directory, ’cause the more, the merrier for all!)
