from Too Good to be Threw/ Products for the Professional Resaler
July 2005
Welcome to SUMMER! Here it is, hot
hotterhottest... the temperature, not
your sales. Is it ever going to pick up again? It's
really BORING... Kate to the rescue with some
COOL
ideas about what to do now.
Before it gets busy again, explore all the things ConsignPro
can do for your shop. We thank Brian and
his company, Visual Horizons, for sponsoring this free
issue. (And he's giving away a freebie-with-purchase
right now too!)
Now's the time to take a bite out of the BIG Back-to-
School market. After all,
it's not just the start of a new year for school-age
kids. There's college students, who not only need a
new wardrobe but dorm furnishings too. And
there's adults who perk up (and open up their
wallets!) at the thought of
Fall!
Don't miss the links in each photo on our Back to
School Page. They will take you to our newly-
revised
SPECIALTY PAGES.
Wear It Again,
Sam, in Rapid City SD, is one of the premier
Teen-&-Tween marketers in the resale business. Jan
Jones shares with us how she appeals to this age
market... and why.
You say you can't find the $$ to go to next year's
NARTS Conference in Atlanta? I bet you CAN.
Each month, I will have suggestions as to how you
can MAKE AN EXTRA $100 profit or SAVE $100 in
costs. Read your USED every
month to FIND out where I've put my
recommendation on our website.
I am doing this independently of NARTS. Not
for any reason other than I truly believe you SHOULD
go to a meeting of your peers. So hurry on over to
this month's page,
and see what the first suggestion is!
Tired of your customers deserting you for strangers'
driveways? FIGHT BACK. Kate's newest Product for
the Professional Resaler will help you do just that, 12
ways!
12 Ways to BEAT Garage Sales gives you
sure-fire
tactics to get those shopping dollars in YOUR shop...
and not spend a fortune doing so!
If you're not familiar with our PDQ Downloads (that's
Pretty Darn Quick Downloads!), relax. Go to our PDQ
Page where it's all explained... and where you can try
a FREE Download first!
Many minds make light work, don't they? Well, that
might not be the EXACT saying, but you know what I
mean. EnkoreJenn, that Swami of Sharing who owns
Enkore
Kids in Frederick MD, has had
the most BRILLIANT idea in her shop's email
newsletter that she said I could borrow.
And the idea is: Read YOUR name (actually, your
email name) "hidden" on the TGtbT web site page
linked below, and receive a $10 TGtbT gift
certificate to use on our Pro
ducts for the Professional Resaler (PDQ
Download,
or "real" in-the-mail type Product) or towards
The Picker Who Perished. The
rules: You need to email me back saying "IT'S
ME,
IT'S ME", within one week of this issue being sent
out. You can use your $10 gift certificate
anytime
you'd like.
Okay. Here goes. Tossing a dart into our list of USED
subscribers... two names. Check the page in the link
below. Is it YOU??
USED ain't seen nothin' yet!
