Consignment Shop Sales 

Q. Hi, I am a professional organizer and I have a client that is in Consignment shop sells. She wants to be able to sell more products. Does anyone know how to arrange the products so that they sell better and faster? Thanks.

Advice by Yvonne Buchanan

Dear Sabrina:

You don't say what items your client sells. Assuming it's womens' clothing, your client needs to look at its local market and determine what her market is wearing and take in only those clothes that are current sellers. Arranging several of these as outfits rather than as individual items will help her clients see their potential and increase multiple product sales. Putting two or three of the most attractive outfits in the window display will help bring in new customers. Your client may also want to consider a frequent shopper's discount. She could have small business cards with her shop's name and address on it, then room for 10 punches. Each item merits a punch and after 10 punches, the client receives a $10 merchandise credit or a half-off on any single item.

Best of luck, Sabrina. Let us know how it goes.
