This comprehensive guide to opening and running a women's clothing consignment store packs a wealth of information neatly and concisely into a relatively short read. We know you aren't looking for a novel, just the facts. We walk you through the process from the beginning to opening, and beyond. We outline the very first steps you will take, give you a strategy for approaching them, suggest when to take them, approximate how much they will cost, and guide you through running the store once it is open. We provide detailed explanations, tables, and examples to clearly paint the picture of what to expect and how to tackle some of the complexities of the business of consigning. You simply won't find this level of detail in another book. This is truly the playbook for opening and running a successful consignment business. The author has included her tried and true methods that kept her in business when so many around her closed-up shop. Though you cannot rely completely on a 'How To' guide for success, it is an invaluable tool. How you use that tool and the passion that you invest is what will determine whether or not you are successful. We give you a rare, no holds barred glimpse behind the curtain by sharing secrets consignment store owners aren't willing to talk about. As a footnote, the author has since sold her consignment store and retired to Florida with her husband.
