Good Deals for Everyone: Consignment Store Business Card
Consignment stores, whether its baby supplies, clothing or crafts, offer space for people to sell their wares, taking a small percentage of the sale price. In a depressed economy, the consignment store has taken on new levels of business and like any business needs the right kind of business card.
Consignment store business cards should be informative, easy to read and understand and supply just the right amount of detail to appeal to both customer and client. Serving the dual purpose of both attracting customers to buy and clients to utilize the space, the business card is better if two sided, of a matte finish and eye catching.
With the emphasis being on text on the consignment store business card, a lot of background designs, artwork, graphics and color will only distract. It is best not to feature a particular piece that you have on consignment on the card as this can change very quickly. Keep backgrounds simple, one color and graphics or designs to a minimum.
On the front of the consignment store business card include the usual contact information, street address and driving directions. Use the tag line or create bullet points to explain what sort of items you sell on consignment as well as the prices of such items. Be sure to choose legible fonts and watch the word count: keep things short and simple.
On the reverse side of the consignment store business card, write out your consignment policy. This would include any fees, bulk discounts, profit percentage or fresh stock details. This makes the back of your card a way for clients to know exactly what their consignment decision entails and acts as a sort of warranty for them. Be sure to proof read the business card very carefully.
Distribute consignment store business cards at craft shows, area thrift stores and craft supply stores as well as at the library, community center and local senior center. Consignment stores appeal to established locals with a penchant for crafts or reselling so place your cards accordingly.
