I hate to admit it but I am so glad that Christmas in my store is over. One of the biggest reasons why is had one consignor that decided that he wanted to provide me with nothing but Christmas items. Well now it is time for me to get ready for the new season and all of the events that occur around it.
What I have decided to do in any case is to begin to make room for all of the new things that I have scheduled to come in so far this week which are much needed appliances that my customers always come in and ask for. So now that I have appointments set up to have new intakes this week, I am now on the frantic move to get this Christmas stuff outta here.
What I have learned is that I should have made it clear in the consignor's contract that holiday items that have not been picked up within 48 hours after the date of the holiday will become the property of said store "Mine" or we will donate it to charity. So all I'm going to do is move Mr. White's items to a portion of the store I am going to have mark as closeouts and massive sales and get ready for the furniture and appliances that are coming. I have no choice.
From here on out seasonal items will have to be moved as soon as the holiday or season is over to make room for new arrivals or I will end up with a mess on my hands and I certainly cannot have that.
So tomorrow begins a busy day I may have to start before I open my doors with my little staff to get ready for the new and out with the old.
Didn't I say that the hurricane was brewing? But in all seriousness this is only business and I will not become one of those consignment shops that you cannot get into cause there is so much stuff.
I vow to make sure that I have space to make my shop neat and tidy and welcoming at all times, even though I serve up a taste of nothing but FUNK while you shop.
I'll post more tomorrow cause this is going to get interesting.
Til Next Time
Mamma
