Thrifting Becoming Chic
It is in the news, shopping at thrift stores such, as Goodwill has become a popular way to buy what you like.
In a down economy more and more people are finding household objects and clothing shopping at thrift stores to be more desirable. Thrift stores are recognizing this trend and are creating wonderful incentives.
At some Goodwill stores they’re offering Reward Cards
According to The San Francisco Chronicle, “In New York City shoppers are offered a $10 discount after spending $100 and in parts of South Carolina patrons are offered 25 percent off after spending $250.
Would you spend $5 to receive special VIP entry into thrift store sales? Some shoppers are receiving this incentive at a store called Housing Works for their “Power Hour”.
It can only get better from here, with discounts, loyalty programs, private shopping hours, frequent shopper cards and more shopping at your local thrift store will become quite ‘chic’.
Perhaps, if your local Goodwill or thrift store is not offering these incentives, you can point them toward these articles and inform them you’re more likely to shop more often and to tell your friends if they adopt such incentive program and join the Bandwagon to encourage more thrift store shopping.
Thrift stores, discount stores and more - I am thrilled that we as bloggers are ahead of the curve in creatively taking care of our homes and creative entrepreneurial efforts through Etsy, Ebay and the like.
This is good news!
