In just over one week, I will be heading off to Palm Beach to meet with 300-400 other consignment and resale shop owners for a NARTS (National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops) Conference. I will be meeting with the best of the best in the industry to make Castaways an even BETTER place for you to shop!
I will do networking, attend workshops, go on a bus tour of the shops in the Palm Beach area, I will listen to speakers.... and I will go to cocktail parties, and lovely dinners and spend time on the BEACH, for crying out LOUD... all in the name of bettering my business....
All kidding aside (because of course the trip will be amazing), the things I've heard about these Conferences have been so good. I can't wait to come back with renewed energy and a head and heart full of ideas on how to make Castaways even more boutiquey, upscale, and FUN for you guys. I feel like SO many shops get complacent. Once they've opened and establish their clientele, they feel like their job is done. I feel like I can ALWAYS learn more about the business and that Castaways ALWAYS has more room to grow. I can't wait to share what I've learned with you.
In the meantime, a part of me is dreaming of palm trees, sandy beaches, the sound of the ocean, sundresses, and flowers in my hair......
