Do you consign to shops?

[NikiJ]

Hi All
I was just wondering how many of you consign your products to shops, I am wanting to do this and wondered if anyone has any advice on how to approach them?

Thanks

Consign? Ohh, what do you mean? (brain not in gear)

It's when you let a shop sell your goods and they take a percentage of the price, there are other ways of doing it as well.

Ahhhhh, I see. I don't, no. :cheesy:

Sorry, I am in a really silly mood. I don't know anyone who does actually, but then I don't know an awful lot of people.

Well I guessed you don't lol :tcwozerek :hysterica

I had experience of Sale or Return once .. they took 20% ~ I think .. it was a long time ago but worked well as they didn't have any outlay or unsold stock problems and I had a temporary outlet :D

Tracey from wicknwax sells to shops but she won't be around for a while, her DD is very ill.

I do this also, one shop was wanting 33% of my takins, another put my prices up £2 more to get her cut, so now i have a few shops where i am happy.

See i'd just walk in with my wares and ask them to sell my stuff, i'd offer them a percentage - smaller than 20% though, well there's got to be room for haggling - your stuff is lovely so i think that you could just go for it.

I keep on telling my mum to take her stuff to local shops - if i had a shop i'd have your stuff in it. I wouldn't phone a shop up - it gives them the opportunity to reject you before they have seen your items.
