How to Open and Run a Consignment Store

This book is a comprehensive guide to opening and running a women’s clothing and accessories consignment store. 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, approximately 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. Keep in mind that success is objective until it is subjective. Meaning that you cannot rely completely on a ‘How To’ guide for success, it is merely a tool. How you use that tool and the passion that you invest is what will determine whether or not you are successful.
