Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I bet you don't even know the goldmine that's in your closet. My grandmother had the best fashion sense for her era. She was always seen dressed to the nines, pearls in tow, and heels galore. She would never leave the house without her trusty shoulder-pinned sweater. She kept every part of her appearance in check as she visited the salon with a weekly, standing appointment. Lipstick was a must. I inherited her fashionista trait. My Gran, as I called her, was a fashionista to the max. When she passed away, I found myself inheriting her vast walk-in closet collection of savvy vintage clothing. I wasn't quite sure what to do with all of it. I kept the pieces that meant the most to me and began to sell the rest. To my surprise, the demand for vintage clothing in great condition, or renewed, upcycled pieces, is immense, widespread, and appeals to men and women of all ages. My business was born - and it thrived! In my book, I will show you exactly how to go about starting and running your own pre-loved clothing business. You gain not only the monetary benefits of selling a high-demand product, but you will also be saving the world's landfills from unnecessary waste. In 2012 alone, an estimated 14.3 million tons of textiles were discarded to the landfill as reported by the Environmental Protection Agency-an alarming number for something seemingly harmless as discarding old clothes. Why toss clothing that has good life still left in it? There are so many ways you can succeed with your secondhand clothing shop, but the best thing you can do (and the most valuable experience you can get) is to go out and actually do it! Experience is always the best teacher. Until you get out and start selling, you will never be able to grasp everything fully that running a used clothing shop entails. Of course, the most important thing you can do is to be prepared for it, just so you know you're setting yourself up for success. You will have the tools you need in this book to start making good money by selling old clothes. You will learn: About crafting a plan for your business Finding who your customer will be Where to place your brick-and-mortar store, should you go that route Creating a solid marketing plan Budgeting and costs How to conduct market research Building your inventory and where to source products Upcycled hacks to increase the life of your products Advice for online marketplaces such as ThredUP, Poshmark, eBay, Depop, Facebook Marketplace, Tradesy, Vinted, Instagram, Craigslist, Mercari, LePrix, The Real Real, Grailed, VarageSale, Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon FBA How to set up a physical, brick and mortar store Branding and logo design Inventory management techniques Marketing strategies - direct and online How to set your prices Finally, how I grew my business - with advice about running a physical and online sales hybrid You will gain a much deeper understanding of how to start, run, and grow your own secondhand clothing business.

Download or read book Lost Department Stores of San Francisco written by Anne Evers Hitz and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, San Francisco's merchant princes built grand stores for a booming city, each with its own niche. For the eager clientele, a trip downtown meant dressing up--hats, gloves and stockings required--and going to Blum's for Coffee Crunch cake or Townsend's for creamed spinach. The I. Magnin empire catered to a selective upper-class clientele, while middle-class shoppers loved the Emporium department store with its Bargain Basement and Santa for the kids. Gump's defined good taste, the City of Paris satisfied desires for anything French and edgy, youth-oriented Joseph Magnin ensnared the younger shoppers with the latest trends. Join author Anne Evers Hitz as she looks back at the colorful personalities that created six major stores and defined shopping in San Francisco.

Each chapter is complete with a historical overview, types of facilities, planning and interior design elements, design applications, a summary, references, and Web sites. New design applications covered include spas in hotels, bed and breakfast inns, coffee shops, gift stores and salons, courthouses and courtrooms, and golf clubhouses. In keeping with the times, there are new chapters focusing on senior living facilities and on restoration and adaptive use. A chapter on project management has been revised and includes everything from proposals and contracts to scheduling and documentation. Throughout the book, design application discussions, illustrations, and photographs help both professionals and students solve problems and envision and implement distinctive designs for commercial interiors. With information on licensing, codes, and regulations, along with more than 150 photographs and illustrations, this combined resource and instant reference is a must-have for commercial interior design professionals, students, and those studying for the NCIDQ licensing exam.
