{"product_id":"antique-mall-profits-for-dealers-and-dabblers","title":"Antique Mall Profits: For Dealers and Dabblers","description":"Whether you already operate an Antique Mall booth or another type of antique business this book is designed with one purpose in mind: to help antique dealers make the connection between their inventory and their money. Inventory - buying it, pricing it, displaying it, and selling it - is at the core of a dealers \"business puzzle\". Dealers who fail to grasp inventory essentials will struggle and risk failure, and it won't be because they can't make a profit. Forty percent of all small businesses that declare bankruptcy are profitable; they just run out of cash.In this book, I'll point out a few of the common traps that startup retailers - and some old-timers - fall into. Once you know what the traps look like, you'll be able to avoid them. If you already find yourself in a financial tight spot, you'll learn a few tactics that will put you back on solid ground. Here's a small sample of what you'll learn in this book:●How to make money with an antique mall booth●How to make your booth stand out from the competition.●Eight tactics that will turn your booth into a selling powerhouse.●Five tips for buying right: practice these techniques and you'll seldom overpay for inventory.●A simple formula for knowing how much inventory you'll need. Never be stuck with dead inventory again!●How much you'll have to charge to make a profit.●Ten pricing tactics that will keep your inventory moving.●Five strategies to sell more without taking markdowns.●When - and how much - to take markdowns; timing is everything!This book presupposes that you already know something about antiques. I won't tell you which items you should stock or what items are hot-sellers; all that information is available elsewhere. My purpose here is to present the basics of running a profitable mall booth. Although my focus is Antique Mall dealers, the principles apply to retail stores of any type or size.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 108695422X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.108695422X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jordan, Wayne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
