Consignment vs Final Sales

Re: [spiers] Consignment vs Final Sales

You bet John. That's what I am thinking too.

Dan, the trick is to introduce new and better, based on a problem you
experience in a field you love... so tell us what that is...

Currently it is a wooden craft field that I am having problem with and plan to
go to other material based crafts either. When the customer told me to sell my
items on consignment, I think there must be something that they don't like. I
need to improve the designs and come back again later. Thanks for the heads up.

What should
we do to make them willing to buy? How about if it is a big store? Any thought
is greatly
appreciated. Thank you.
