5.0 out of 5 stars The Consignment Workbook, September 29, 2000

This review is from: The Consignment Workbook: How to Make Money Selling Used Goods on Consignment (Spiral-bound)

The Consignment Workbook offers great material to entrepreneurs who seek to start up a consignment business. This is a fantastic resource!! It lays a solid foundation for new businesses, or can even give a jump start to established shops. Information is based on the experiences and lessons learned by the author and her partner who have owned three different consignment shops in Vermont. All aspects of this retail business are covered including how to begin and set up your business, sources for supplies, networking, advertising, what to expect, dealing with customers, banks, insurance agents, etc., tips on increasing income, and more. After reading this book, I felt I had a very honest and realistic view of the consignment business. The appeal of this book is in it's integrity, simplicity, and the author's love of the consignment business which shine through page after page!! I used this book as my main guide for starting up my sucessful consignment business and continue to use it as a valued reference! I cannot praise it enough!

This book offers both the new and the seasoned consignment shop owner invaluable information not found in any basic retail book. It is based on her first hand experience and findings as just that, a consignment shop owner! She has covered all the parts of starting her own business and presented it in an easy to follow and use workbook format. I truly credit our 16 plus years of success to many of Sue's ideas and findings. If you are looking for the everyday "nuts & bolts" to starting and running a successful consignment operation, then this book is worth every penny!

The pamphlet is too expensive for what it has, but it gave some pinpoints the rest is up to me.
