There’s no shopping experience quite like consigning. Although we might be a little biased, there are many great reasons to consider the benefits of consignment before you head out on your next shopping spree. But first, what does it mean to consign? And how does consignment work?
When you consign something, you’re arranging to sell your personal items through a third-party vendor. You maintain your rights to the property until it’s sold, at which point the proceeds will be split between you and the vendor.
At Turn Style, we accept hundreds of new items from different consignors every day! The benefits of consignment work for both parties–we get unique, high-quality inventory and you get to turn your unused items into cash or store credit.
If that’s not reason enough, read on to discover even more reasons to fall in love with consignment stores!
You’ll Find Designer Brand Clothes at Low Prices
Consignment stores often have a special niche within the retail industry. Geared towards inventory items with brand names like Anthropologie, Nike, LuluLemon, Lucky Brand, and so many more, you can trust the quality of the clothing, accessories, or furnishings you find.
As much as we want to buy top-tier brands, our wallets don’t always allow for it. At consignment stores, your wallet will hardly feel a pinch! Love that Coach purse that goes for $300? You might just find it in the consignment store for $60!
Your Clothes Will Be Donated If They Don’t Make the Cut
Consignment stores carry used clothes and other personal items that are still in great condition. If you’re worried your items will be rejected and will have to go back to your closet or home — don’t. Consignment stores will offer to donate them for you, should they not pass the quality test.
Consigning Is Environmentally Friendly
Many people simply throw away unwanted clothing and furniture when they could be consigned or donated. These items end up in landfills, adding to the billions of pounds of textile waste already in the ground. Fortunately, consignment shopping has become increasingly popular as people continue to look for more ways to reduce waste. This environmentally friendly shopping process allows your gently used items to find new life instead of ending up in a landfill!
It’s Easy!
Simply bring your clothing, accessories, furniture, or home accents in and the consignment employees will do the rest! What’s even better — you can shop for unique finds to bring home while you wait for our team to evaluate your items!
You’ll Enjoy Your Decluttered Closets
Too many clothes hanging in your closet can make it hard to find items you actually still want to wear. Give your closets and dressers some breathing space — separate the items you want to keep and the items you can part with, then bring them in to consign. Soon you’ll be enjoying the benefits of a decluttered home.
You’ll Help Yourself (and Others!) Develop a Unique Style
Instead of buying what everyone else is buying, consignment shopping allows you to craft your own unique style with quality brand-name pieces. And on the other hand, your clothes that no longer fit your style might be exactly what someone else is looking for!
Ready, Set, Consign!
Now that you’re familiar with some of the many benefits of consignment shopping, you can start to prepare your items! For your best chance at making money, make sure your items are clean, presentable, and well-organized. After you’ve located your closest Turn Style, bring in your unwanted goods and enjoy a shopping experience unlike any other!
