Here's what resalers across the
continent have to say about Too Good to be Threw, The Complete
Operations Manual for Resale & Consignment Shops and the other
Products for the Professional Resaler:
Have you gotten Kate's "Too Good to
Be Threw" manual yet? After 12 years in business, I
finally bought a copy and I wish I'd gotten it a decade
ago...there's
a lot of great information. It's invaluable- I recommend it highly.
--T. Gazer
Very informative and helpful...I
call it my consignment bible...Well worth the money.
---TraceyB.
I refer back to your
book often for ideas and guidance. I would recommend your manual
without hesitation to anyone who had an interest in the consignment
business-from would-be entrepreneurs to multiple store owners. It
is that comprehensive and that good. ---Robert
A few months into this business, my mother
visited a shop and asked for any helpful information. The owner gave
her your address and I am so glad she did. I appreciate your help
more than you can imagine. ---Marcy
I bought the book after being
open for 5 years. Well worth the money. If it saves you only 1
mistake it will more than pay for itself.
It’s better than
learning the hard way. ---Suzanne
What
does the Manual cover?
I bought the book before opening and
can't imagine being able to open my store without the
book. It answered questions I would have never thought of. I
think it is the best investment you will make. ---Carroll
I am so glad that one of the first things I did was to buy and
read every page  of
this book. I highly recommend it and in fact just did again today
to a tourist who has a friend wanting to open a store in her hometown.
---TraceyJ
I wish I had bought the
book before I bought my store. You'll gain more in sales
implementing the suggestions in the book than you'll spend. ---Carol

about TGtbT The Manual
I shudder
to think of running my biz w/o all the info in the TGTBT manual. I
used nearly all of the forms etc. Order
it before you do anything else!
---Cathy
I just signed a lease for my
shop-to-be. The original lease was for 10.50/sq. ft., with a 3%
increase per
year...BUT...the owner was so impressed w/ Kate's (oops I mean my)
business plan, that he gave me a break at 8.50/sq. ft. w/ no increase.
He said it was the first time he's ever lowered the price but that he
wants to see me succeed because I had done all my homework. Which was
all because of "Too Good To Be Threw". I could never have
done it without that book, and it only took a
week or so to get it all together, that is how organized and
crystal clear the book is. Thank you so much, I  can't
find the words to say how important this book is! From the bottom of
my heart thank you. ---Cathy
Kate, I see you have revised the manual
again. We bought a manual when we opened in 1997. YES, was the best
investment we ever made!!! We have 2 stores now. It was our BIBLE when
we opened the store and even now you will hear my partner and I
say.........Kate says to do it this way or that.
---Pam
I am the research specialist at the Small
Business Development Center in Alva,
Oklahoma, a non-profit government agency which assists start-up
businesses. You have a WONDERFUL web site. It is so rare to find
a site that is so comprehensive in its answers to a
business. ---Charlotte
You saved my life. I purchased your To Good
To Be Threw manual. My store is now going to be just what I
dreamed. I am so glad I found your book, it has helped me more
than you could know. Such great ideas. I have also recommended your
book to a friend who has recently opened a shop. ---Stacy
Read
the Intro to the Manual
I loved getting my
products. I curled up at home with a cup of tea and read every piece
of info Kate had sent....Then I put it away and got on to business and
have been completely buried ever since. Well last week I pulled out
some of my TGTBT literature and realized that
my employees have never seen them! I left "Windows That
Sell" on the counter with a note "Please Read &
Initial" on Saturday. When I came in on Monday, they had all read
&  APPLIED
their favorite info to our shop, they loved it! (And the store looks
great). ---Sherry
You have provided so much information for the consignment business.
I'm convinced that all you have contributed has helped to make
consignment shops what they are today. ---Nona
I bought a consignment shop
two years ago. The sale of the shop included Kate’s manual. I was so
busy that I skimmed through it and didn’t read the whole book. Big
mistake! The store has never lost money, but wasn’t making enough
for me to take a decent salary. I finally gave my notice at the
nursing job and came back to the store determined to make as much
money as I could nursing. I read and studied "Too Good To Be
Threw". Well, this past Saturday was the best day that I have
ever had and this past week was the best week that I have ever had. I
just want to thank you. I strongly recommend to anyone to read and
re-read "To Good To Be Threw" and do what the books states
you should do. We made our changes only a month ago and had our
best sales in two years. ---Wanda
