Great point from one of my favorite sites, gaspedal.com. They wrote: 3 great moments to create word of mouth Some moments are just naturally better opportunities to create conversations than others. If you can improve your timing, you’ll get a lot more word of mouth for the same effort. Moments to focus on: 1. [...]

Is that a real _____ ? Why, yes it is. Click here to see designer items we have in right now. Tee-hee. How many of you tried to “click here”? Great headline and body copy, isn’t it? (Thanks to Peonies for bringing it to the forefront of this busy brain.) SO effective… and it gives [...]
Aw, come on. Help me out here.

Have you ever had the experience of not recognizing an acquaintance in a place you don’t associate her with? I did, the other day, when I saw my hairdresser in the grocery… I just couldn’t place who she was. That happens
So simple. So effective. So perfect for your consignment or resale shop.

Making a “temporary” web site
Posted in Shopkeeping talk, tagged email, small business, web on May 24, 2011 | 5 Comments »
What do you do if you can’t easily and quickly make a page on your web site (or goodness gracious, don’t even have a web site for your consignment, thrift, resale shop!), but you have something you really want to tell folks MORE folks than just

They aren’t paying attention, Part #1, talks about quick little messages to your clientele that go right over their heads or through their minds with no lasting impression of your business. Go ahead, read that first. I’ll wait…. Oh, you’re back? Do I have your attention? Okay… They aren’t paying attention Part 2: Make sure [...]

Don’t know about you, but when I open my email, my main mission is Search and Destroy. Yes indeed. My main goal while looking at my email is to get my in-box down to a manageable size. So, out goes: The obscure. A subject line which doesn’t say much, for example Special Savings…versus what this [...]
