I am looking for any information, tips and ideas on how to keep our small town thrift store afloat. Right now we are barely making it. I need to come up with some ways to increase revenue. All monies made go directly to suppor to our crisis center where I live. We have a constant steady flow of items donated, but not a whole lot of customers. PLEASE, ANYTHING!!!

If you would like to contact me, please feel free. I have many years experience in thrift stores. It more sounds like an issue with the internal issues of operation. These can be fixed with some hard work, but are easy to deal with.
Handing out flyers etc., is NOT what it will take. Increasing profits all depends on what you are willing to take on...
