As With Most Things ... First Impressions Are Lasting Ones

"What's In A Name?"

It was not my intention to 'name' a yard sale, but during initial consultation with this client, a few things became obvious: 'This client was a true fashionista' and 'This would be no ordinary yard sale'.

I have never believed that shoppers should have to 'dig for a deal' - as noted in an earlier post 'Garage Sale ... Not GarBage Sale'. Setting up the Fashionista's Yard Sale in a way that was easy for customers to shop was a priority. I knew that the first impression that shoppers would get would be a lasting one - and therefore should live up to the name 'Fashionista's Yard Sale'.

The setup allowed shoppers to dress from the bottom- up or the top-down. With items grouped in a way that made it easy to walk away with complete outfits.

It was such a fun two days with girlfriends getting together, finding and comparing great deals.

Some great stories emerged from the two days - like the deacon's wife who stopped by just to get an aqua camisole to go under a blouse that she wanted to wear to dinner that night. We didn't have an aqua camisole, so we simply set her up with a full outfit instead: A new high waist pink and black dress, black belt, black earrings and bracelets to complete the look - all for under $15.00. We made a complete fashionista out of her.

Then there was the fashionista who jumped off the passing bus when she spotted the setup and the great items - a true fashionista knows great clothing and accessories when she sees them.

By the end of the two days, we provided great deals at great prices to fashionistas, want to be fashionistas and future fashionistas.

Now I'm looking forward to another exciting yard sale - who knows if this one will have another interesting name - if it is called "by any other name", I am certain that it will still be as much fun.

Note: excerpts spoken by Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;

Until next time ...

My mantra" "I'm not cheap - I'm economical"
