Tiny Nonprofit Thrift Boutique Needs New Customers
As off-shoot main business (lg upscale consignment ) started thrift next to one store. Thrift separate store. Tiny. 700 sqft sales-19 years. Main business left unsold stuff becomes main business' property but wanted to sell to benefit community. Solution - operate the thrift for a different group local NP's n split sales quarterly. Cute/boutique like. No smells/junk. Decorated. Clothes, books, jewelry, small decoratives. Down outside hallway, around corner/cheap rent. Prices dirt. Get same customers. Don't care $ for NP's. 2 problems: How to advertise/get new customers w/out increasing public donations 'cause mostly crap/big labor/disposal costs. How to reward current repeat customers w/out giving away NP's profits or train to wait for 'sales'. (Staff so tired of hagglers)
