Ah, June, spoon, moon
For some of us (like down here in sweaty Sarasota) June's a s-l-o-w month. That's okay, there's ALWAYS stuff to do.
For others (like me and the 300+ folks getting ready for NARTS Conference, it's busybusybusy.
Something for both situations in this issue of USED ain't seen nothin' yet.
Enjoy,
Kate

| If June's slow in your neck of the woods... | Make it a month to get organized and do all those things you've meant to. TGtbT.com's Slow Month Calendar PDF is a good place to grab some profit-building ideas.
Really PLAN your season-end clearance events. Bag Sales, Dollar Racks & BOGO Deals: Clear Out & Clean Up! will make your events more fun, easier, and, of course, more profitable.
(By the way, if you maintain a year-round $1, $2, $5 rack, have you thought of this way to increase sales of those items?)

So, what about the spoon, June stuff?

| Grab a spoon and some ice cream and drop in on Kate's Favorite Tweets. Links and ideas, all in one spot.
Once in a blue moon, there's a deal too good to be...passed up. If your HTC.com Sponsorship
is up for renewal the end of this month (if you're not sure, email me) there's gifts waiting
if you renew before June 21.
You got an email from me earlier this
week if I have a current email address in your Sponsor records.
But it
needs to be by June 21 and would be wonderful if you'd do it now...my
obligations to Conference get more time-demanding by the day. Act now, before you forget and miss out on free stuff!
