{"product_id":"antique-mall-profits-for-dealers-and-dabblers-9781086954227","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\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50493581394194,"sku":"9781086954227","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2631780e-f68f-4ed2-9157-808080411a82.jpg?v=1730652576","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-mall-profits-for-dealers-and-dabblers-9781086954227","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
