Earn Money By Organizing A Consignment Shop
Consignment means people give you merchandise and get paid only if and when you sell the merchandise.
By means of advertising in classified ads, you invite people to bring used items such as clothing, dishes, unmatched silverware , children’s toys, small appliances without paying out a cent until you have made the sale.
Tell them how much you are willing to pay for the items and the terms of until when you are going to put them up for sale. Give them the option to claim those items back if they are not sold within the limited time. Usually, in consigning, u can have a markup profit of ninety percent from these items.
You need a place to display the goods particularly a large room in the commercial district. Just scout for lower rental rates so you can have lower overheard when you have just started your business. You need lots of shelves and racks, corrugated boxes to hold clothing and inexpensive pipe racks to hold items like coats, dresses and suits that can be hung on hangers. You don’t have to repaint your display room. After all you want to give an impression of a bargain feel about your shop. Display the items neatly in strategic locations. The customers should feel free to browse through the boxes and shelves without the feeling they are messing up your shop. It should have a look of pleasant clutter.
Scrutinize the goods that come in, make sure the clothing are clean, the toys are not broken, the dishes and glassware should have not too many chips. You want to sell them as is, no reconditioning needed.
Aside from advertising in classified ads and the modest rent if you have a retail outlet, you only invest in a few items like receipts and sales slips. Because you will give out receipts to everyone who brings in merchandise for consignment. On it you state the price you will pay them if the goods are sold and the time you wish to hold the goods and you give receipts to your buyers as well.
