Too Good to be Threw, The Premiere Web Site for Consignment, Resale & Thrift shop owners

 

 

Come take a WindowWalk with Kate at Conference 2008


WindowWalk is sponsored by Too Good to be Threw Products for the Professional Resaler and HowToConsign.com, the site that finds YOUR shop's next client TM . This festive and educational pre-event at NARTS Conference 2008 is free to all resalers who want to polish their shop's professional image...on a resaler's budget.

Slip on those tennies, grab a notebook or clipboard, and let's go learn from the professionals! A Thursday-afternoon event worth arriving early for!

We'll visit Fashion Mall at Keystone Crossing, just a stroll across the Conference hotel's skywalk, and Kate Holmes, author of TGtbT The Complete Operations Manual for Resale & Consignment Shops, ShopSizzle, Secrets of Successful Resalers and many other industry guides, will show you how to examine what the new-merchandise stores do, with an eye to adapting these ideas to your shop.

With professional retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Lucky Brand Jeans, Tommy Bahama's, Sony Style, Tiffany & Co. and BCBGMAXAZRIA, Crate & Barrel, Sephora, Williams Sonoma Home, Restoration Hardware, Janie & Jack, L'Occitane, MAC Cosmetics, Pottery Barn Kids, Coach, Brighton Collectibles, Cynde's Shoes, Anthropologie and Tumi flaunting their upscale, professional window dressing, interior displays, lighting and layouts, we'll be in ReSell, RePlace, ReJoice TM heaven as we ponder how we can achieve the same effects in our shops!

How are their windows displayed? Where are their dressing rooms, sales desk, swing shop? What subtle visual clues draw shoppers in, and what makes people buy at one store instead of another?


This casual but educational get-together is free

sponsored by TGtbT and HowToConsign.com. Meet at the entrance to the skywalk on the 2nd floor of the hotel at 3 PM Thursday June 26. We'll spend about 2 hours exploring how to make our shops look as good as the mall shops at a fraction of the cost. 

 What a terrific lighting idea! Why didn't I think of that?>>

and worth coming in early for

You're invited, if you like, to bring your copy of Windows That Sell, ShopSizzle, and other Products for the Professional Resaler, and get Kate's autograph while we're WindowWalking!

Download your WindowWalk fact-finding form! It's two pages, designed to be printed back and front, then folded into a cunning little booklet to take notes on. It's in PDF format. If you don't have the latest Adobe Reader, you can download it from my link at Too Good to be Threw's Product Info Page

<<Think this kind of window is only for the big guys? Nope. You can do it and we'll talk about HOW!
