I checked, and it looks like some people advertise stuff in their booths on Craigslist. I hadn't really thought of that, but I'm going to give it a try soon. If the clothing doesn't sell in the booth, I can always suck it up and try Etsy, too.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07295242260011135196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831277015005901583.post-46298465896376888242012-03-02T23:05:47.906-06:002012-03-02T23:05:47.906-06:00Thanks Rutha, I appreciate the advice - I know wha...Thanks Rutha, I appreciate the advice - I know what I like, but I'm new to selling, so I'm not sure if what I like will be what works.

I think clothes are probably just harder to sell. You probably just need more advertising to reach the people who buy vintage clothes??? Also, if you have the time to rearrange it, why not? :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09924555211105936821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831277015005901583.post-36225770115613098652012-03-01T10:33:35.599-06:002012-03-01T10:33:35.599-06:00Kim, you have an incredible eye for color and styl...Kim, you have an incredible eye for color and style! Your arrangement looks great.<br />Because you asked, going to put my two cents in:<br />My mom owns an antique mall in Oklahoma, my aunt owned one in Rolla, MO before her. I've sort of been related to antiques most of my life.<br />Anyway, rearranging your items is one of the great ways to increase sales, so way to go! My mom hates it when someone rents a booth, stocks it full and then disappears. Antique malls draw repeat customers who are looking for that "great discovery." They come back often and head straight to the booths that they can tell have been updated. They are hoping you've been to some new sale or auction and have found the item they never knew they desperately needed! (Only caution: they are get wise to the folks that don't add new items and just rearrange the old.) These are people who pay close attention to detail, because they know that moving too quickly could lose them that rare gem that no one else spotted!<br />Clothes are great for displays and color, and as long as you use them like you have, to complement the season, etc, they will attract customers. They don't traditionally sell quickly, though. Robert's idea is wonderful! Attracting a new clientele and letting them know what you have personally, can create a win-win situation. You could even ask them what they are looking for in their upcoming season so you could keep your eye open for them?<br />Wish I could see your place in person. I love spending the day browsing a good vintage shop. It's in my blood!<br />And I love blogs with lots of pics! Awesome!<br />-Rutha (Taylor) Ebelingruthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299843298561093040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831277015005901583.post-68836777821702620122012-03-01T06:44:03.448-06:002012-03-01T06:44:03.448-06:00You might want to send a link for your blog to the...You might want to send a link for your blog to the college theatre costume departments in the area.
