Antique Store Wisdom: The September Sales Update

September really flew by! I wasn't able to stop by my booth as often as I wanted,  but I beat my August Sales in September thanks to a big ticket sale! (I finally sold the beautiful viking ship in this post.) October sales aren't going as well but I'm pumped to find creative ways to improve them.

September: The big sale saved me! Don't reduce your prices.

Sub Total of Sales $218.00
Commission: $21.80
Grand Total: $175.50

The Next Step...

Last month I learned some lessons.  I've re-learned another this October. Like I wrote about in 10 Actions Steps to Improve Your Booth Sales NOW!, rearranging your items and adding ample new ones 2-3 per week is necessary to make sales, and my October sales are lousy because I couldn't make it there. Today I'm focusing on rebranding, taking out much of the inventory and replacing it with all-new stuff! It will be fun!
