For the past few years consignment stores have quickly grown in the retail industry. Originally, offering mostly home decor items and furniture, consignment has branched out into all areas, with clothing recently becoming the most popular. One of the advantages clothing consignment stores have over home decor consignment is the ability to ship most of their products, making them not only a local favorite, but anywhere UPS can deliver.
In reviewing several consignment stores, Miss Meyer's Clothing Consignment was well stocked with many upscale women's clothing items and accessories. After meeting the owner, Megan, it was easy to see why. She is passionate about clothing, design, and women looking their best, without paying designer prices. She's very selective on the clothing she selects, each item must be in excellent condition, stylish, in season, and when possible designer name brands. You can get a complete stylish outfit utilizing clothing consignment for much less then you would pay off the rack, or even at an outlet store.
The most successful consignment stores do well because they have beautifully staged their items. Megan's displays are creative, fun, and adorable. She stated that many times people want to purchase her display pieces, but she usually needs to keep them for staging later. She has so many great staging ideas! Years ago when someone mentioned consignment...it didn't always conjure up a positive feeling, but today's consignment stores are highly competitive, and decorated better than most big box stores.
Since consignment stores are not set up like big box retailers, customers and those who bring in items to consign, get to know the staff and owner of the store. Megan wants her customers to have a wonderful experience at her clothing consignment store and she often knows what they are looking for and will call them when something comes in her shop in their size.
Another big advantage of clothing consignment is the selection changes every day. Since consignors bring in clothing each day, you can visit several times a week and see new things! It's a great way for consignors to make a little extra money and for the customer to have amazing clothing items and accessories, without paying full retail prices.
