How to start a consignment store provides all the information needed to own a consignment shop, resale business, second-hand boutique or thrift store. This comprehensive book (online or printed) shows how to make high income in a business that capitalizes on America's declining currency and economy.
How to Start a Resale Shop is an introduction to getting started in the resale business.
How to Start a Thrift Store explains briefly the contents of the consignment book.
The most common sales are furniture, pageant dresses, RVs, antiques, autos, baby items, boats (marine), bridal (wedding) gowns, women's and children's clothing.
Consignment store names can make a good impression if they are 'catchy and amusing'. Likewise, worn out cliches like classic, classy, designer, 'twice is nice' and upscale might get nothing more than ho-hums from passers by.
Online queries indicate that the most popular regions for businesses are Atlanta, Florida, Maryland, Washington, Chicago, Columbia, Dallas and the 'Northwest'. This is somewhat in disagreement with other indicators which place North and South Carolina near the top along with California.
Some physical stores are sought in searches by their names, like Carousel, City, Classic, Classy, Upscale, Uptown and Bridgette's. Here again this does not reflect the popularity of Jill's and Michael's.
