I have an ambitious plan for a bold new antique store booth revamp, but my latest temporary solution is working nicely until my new sign is complete. Like the last sign it didn't cost one cent, I used what I had around the house to craft a new look.
First I removed the letters from my old sign, then added hooks to the back of it so I could hand the letters however I want on the wall and rearrange them when desired.
Then I painted the back of the old sign with one layer of chalkboard paint so I could use it to write messages to shoppers and further connect my online and offline branding.
I spent six hours one day arranging and rearranging to fit in as much merchandise as possible and hanging new signage. I'm not completely satisfied yet, but I like how it makes me stand out from the other booths.
I've made some interesting connections with local designers, bloggers, resellers, and vintage buyers in just a couple of days lingering at the booth and trying to perfect the display. I'll admit there have been times I've wanted to give up keeping up and pursuing brick and mortar spaces and keep my brand online, but making that local connection takes it another level. I'm hoping to move up to a larger space at Southern Crossing really soon; can't wait!
How are your antique mall booths and reselling adventures going? Do Tell!
Looks great! Thanks for sharing. I love the chalkboard paint idea.
ReplyDeleteVan, the booth looks great. I stopped in for a moment today at lunch to pick up $ and check on this weekends sales. This weekend was a success for our booth...u could tell right away because it was a hot mess! Happy to report we did really well in our first month! We are the little booth that could by the dealer door. Thanks for continuing to inspire us newbies!
ReplyDeleteI saw the empty spaces in your booth. You guys have a BEAUTIFUL selection of the best kind of charming vintage so it's no surprise you're doing great. :) Looks like we just missed each other today, I stopped by to pick up a check and seal the deal on a second larger space.
DeleteVan I'm always inspired how you are constantly reinventing the way you do things and giving it all a go. I really admire your passion. On the resell question things have come to a stop here but a rehash is underway. Through my renaming and rebranding would you believe my Etsy store name is unavailable and contacting the powers that be at Etsy have resulted in a dead end. Oh well onwards and upwards hey, I'll find a way around it but in the meantime onto other things right? Next week I have a small selection of stock going into a store who wants to give me exposure (front window exposure mind you so I'm stoked). In three weeks I have my first market under my new blog/business name. Finally I'm also currently in throws of setting up Ecwid so I can add a proper shopping cart and checkout experience to Facebook. So although there are setbacks things are definitely happening.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the exposure, definitely sounds like you are moving onwards and upwards in all the right ways! There will always be setbacks, all we can do is keep producing the best work possible and working hard to hit out goals.

ReplyDeleteWow! The spammers have been hitting your site hard just like mine. It's obnoxious, isn't it!!
ReplyDeleteYour booth looks great! I would love to try a booth but my DH is not too keen on it as the market here is oversaturated and a city business license is $200. However, I really think a lot of it is branding and how you present yourself and your items as you have so wonderfully shown. I may bite the $200 bullet next year!
Yeh, they've made it past blogger's natural defenses it seems. Grrr! You should definitely come up with a business plan and try it!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new space!!! Are you moving bigger or getting a second space in addition to the one you have now? Either way it will be exciting!! Keep it going, everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla :) I'm lucky enough to move to a bigger space. I will have actual floor space for the first time in my career reselling in antique malls and I'm already excitedly drawing up plans and pricing merch for it. I'll move in in April. For April I'm going to try running the current and new space, I may drop the old one if it proves to be too much.
DeleteHow fun!!! I have my current space drawn on graph paper....to the inch, so I know exactly what will fit and where. I also graph all of my large furniture items as soon as I bring them home. These tricks have saved me a ton of time when it comes to moving things around + knowing what to haul down there at any given time. I can't wait to see the big reveal in April!!!
DeleteThat's an awesome idea that I must subscribe to ASAP. :) I need to get better and pre-planning in general, saves so much time!
DeleteLooks great! My boyfriend and I just opened our first antique space a couple months ago and I love looking at what other people have done with theirs and reading tips and advice. I like the idea of how you've named yours and linked it with your Etsy shop. If you'd like to see what we've done so far, here's my latest blog post about our space:
ReplyDeletehttp://scavengerhunttheblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/february-antique-space-update.html
Thanks for putting out a great blog!
-Melissa
So jealous of your huge space to play with. Congratulations, it looks amazing thus far!
DeleteHow fun! I love reading about and seeing other peoples booth's at antique and peddlar's malls. It makes me daydream about my own.
ReplyDeleteThen I remember we don't have anything like that around here (just flea markets) and that I don't have anything to stock in it anyway.
I still love seeing others though. It puts me in a happy place.
Seeing other's spaces online always inspires me, too. :) Even if it's just for ways to rearrange things around the house or seeing display/organization potential in things while I thrift.
DeleteYou sure have worked your ass off on your Etsy shop!
ReplyDeleteYep, and HUUUNDREDS MORE items are 'a coming. More work ahead...

Besides my C course, I have a job and family, both of which compete to get my time. I couldn't find sufficient time for the challenging C assignments, and these people came in and saved my skin. I must commend them for the genius Programming Assignment Help. Their C Homework Help tutors did the best job and got me shining grades
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a Statistics Assignment Help expert for Statistics Homework Help. I have struggled enough with statistics and therefore I just can't do it anymore on my own. . I have come across your post and I think you are the right person to provide me with SPSS homework help. Let me know how much you charge per assignment so that I can hire you today
ReplyDeleteMatlab Assignment Help helped me to complete my seventh Matlab assignment, which was also the best-performed! It scored 92/100, which I've never scored before on any other assignment/exam in my lifetime. Otherwise, their service was as quick as usual. The delivery was also on time. I'm now requesting to use this same programmer multiple times. He seems the best in Image Processing tasks. Meanwhile, I'll ask for more Matlab Homework Help soon

ReplyDeleteHi, other than economics assignment help are there other subjects that you cover? I am having several assignments one needs an economics homework help expert and the other one needs a financial expert. If you can guarantee quality work on both then I can hire you to complete them. All I am sure of is that I can hire you for the economics one but the finance one I am not sure
ReplyDeleteMe and my classmates took too long to understand Matlab Assignment Help pricing criteria. we're always grateful for unique solutions on their Matlab assignments. Matlab Homework Help experts have the right experience and qualifications to work on any programming student's homework. They help us in our project.
ReplyDeleteHey STATA homework help expert, I need to know if you can conduct the Kappa measurement of agreement. This is what is in my assignment. I can only hire someone for statistics assignment help if they are aware of the kappa measurement of agreement. If you can do it, then reply to me with a few lines of what the kappa measure of agreement is. Let me know also how much you charge for statistics homework help in SAS.
ReplyDeleteThe ardent Programming Homework Help tutor that nailed down my project was very passionate. He answered my Python questions with long, self-explanatory solutions that make it easy for any average student to revise. Moreover, he didn't hesitate to answer other questions, too, even though they weren't part of the exam. If all Python Homework Help experts can be like this then they can trend as the best Programming school ever online.
ReplyDeleteHey there, I need an Statistics Homework Help expert to help me understand the topic of piecewise regression. In our lectures, the concept seemed very hard, and I could not understand it completely. I need someone who can explain to me in a simpler way that I can understand the topic. he/she should explain to me which is the best model, the best data before the model and how to fit the model using SPSS. If you can deliver quality work then you would be my official Statistics Assignment Help partner.
ReplyDeleteI don’t have time to look for another expert and therefore I am going to hire you with the hope that I will get quality economics assignment help .Being aneconomics homework help professor I expect that your solutions are first class. All I want to tell you is that if the solutions are not up to the mark I am going to cancel the project.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge number of students. Are they from the same country or different countries? I also want your math assignment help. I want to perform in my assignments and since this is what you have been doing for years, I believe you are the right person for me. Let me know how much you charge for your math homework help services.
ReplyDeleteHello. Please check the task I have just sent and reply as soon as possible. I want an adjustment assignment done within a period of one week. I have worked with an Accounting Homework Help tutor from your team and therefore I know it’s possible to complete it within that period. Let me know the cost so that I can settle it now as your Accounting Assignment Help experts work on it.
ReplyDeleteHow much do you charge for a Statistics Assignment Help task? Take, for statistics assignment experts my case, where I need you to provide me with the Statistics Homework Help on plotting a scatter plot with a regression line? How much should that cost? Do you charge on the basis of the workload or have a constant payment?
ReplyDeleteI have submitted my assignment to your website without any challenges. The economics assignmenthelp expert handling my assignment has already contacted me and I am certain that my work is underway. I am just hoping that I will get quality economics homework help. I have a lot of hopes in you and I am just hoping that you will not disappoint me.
ReplyDeleteAs much as there are discouragements, it is true that mathematics is hard. Like in my case, I was never discouraged by anyone about math but I still find it very hard and that is why I am requesting your Math assignment help. I am tired of struggling with mathematics and spending sleepless nights trying to solve sums that I still don’t get right. Having gone through your Math homework help, I am sure that I will get the right help through you. Please tell me what I need to be able to hire you.
ReplyDeleteJust what I was looking for. I am struggling with my accounting assignment. I want an Accounting Assignment Help tutor to offer me two services. One is to complete my accounting assignments and the other is to provide me with online classes. I believe you are experienced enough to offer both Accounting Homework Help and online classes. I know you charge assignments based on the bulk. Tell me how much you charge for the online classes per hour.
ReplyDeleteThese activities are very useful for children and through this, they can learn properly and get benefits. We should provide such kind of activities to our children because these are helpful. Dissertation writing services.
