Thrift Store Basics
Every thrift store is a little different (that's really the secret to why they are so GREAT!) depending on layout, profits, location, and many more factors.
A great way to categorize thrift stores is by looking at who supports the store or how they receive their inventory.
1.Consignment- any store that receives second hand clothes from people in a trade manor, whether that is through money or store credit transaction
2. Popular Chains-Stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army receive donations from no money at all from the public
3. Upscale Resale (type of consignment)- Places like Plato's Closet only buys brand name or lightly used clothes in exchange for money. They are VERY picky so sometimes it is very hard to make money from these places.
4. Outreach ministries- Thrift store totally based on free donations and typically are giving the money or a portion of the money to a non-profit organization.
The key to thrifting is TIME. You have to have a bit of patience when beginning because thrift stores are organized very differently from typical retail stores. Within the realm of thrift stores there are endless ways for them to be organized and laid out for the customer.
Types of organization:
1. Type of clothing i.e.-dresses, skirts, shirts, etc.
2. Color ( in my opinion the worst way)
3. Size
Every thrift store varies but most Goodwills and Salvation Army's organize by color and independent stores are all VERY different.
A great way to predict what you're going to find in a Thrift store is the location!
1. Big city- The pro to a thrift store in a big city is that people typically give or sell nicer clothes. The con is that they are typically priced higher!
2. Small town- Thrift stores in small towns are great because they have lots of one-of-a-kind pieces of clothing but they are typically smaller stores.
3. Middle of no where- I love these because you really never know what to expect. They are typically priced very low and have lots of hidden treasures.
