Beckie and Debbie of My Sister’s Closet prepared this great page for their consignment and resale peers at Sharing a while back. Perhaps you read it then.
It’s worth an “Encore”, especially now when you may have the time to catch your breath and think about ways to make your shop more polished…
and to increase the Perceived Value of your merchandise!
(Here’s our 5-day mini-seminar on Perceived Value.) (And read more of what I recommend about this all-important aspect of your resale business.)Thanks, again, Beckie and Debbie! Their How-To make store-branded jewelry cards.

Very nice cards!!!Another great idea. I used some recycled Christmas cards to display holiday pins also. sad but true story:
One of my first consignments was 75 pieces of costume jewelry. I purchased mini plastic baggies I had seen at Hobby Lobby – placed jewelry inside, punched holes – used colorful ribbons to tie on the price tags. Then put 75 baggies in my cute little dishes, in window sills, slat & gridwall and on shelves and it looked horrible!!! Ribbons and bows or not, it was hideous. That night stopped at another craft store and purchased colorful card stock, glittery fashion theme stickers, more ribbon, and colorful foam. Used scrapbooking zigzag sissors to cut diff. shapes, poked the earrings through, fed pins into foam, cut little slits for necklace chains. Added the stickers for more sparkle. Huge improvement and I got many compliments of how pretty it was displayed.
It was a lot of initial work, and certainly a lot of repeat work for what little return, but it sold extremely well and the consignor enjoyed seeing her jewelry cared for. She actually caught me the next day re-doing and offered to help and we agreed to sit, chat and craft the next time she brings jewelry.
