My Mom just moved into assisted living. It’s a great place and she’s happy. Mom’s room is outfitted beautifully thanks to my sister-in-law. But there was so much that just wouldn’t fit. After the family members took the items that they could use there was still a lot left. No one will be surprised with what we did with a large portion of it: we consigned it. But why consign your items?
Why Consign Your Items? Because It’s Good For The Earth
Consignment is good for your Mother… your Mother Earth, that is. Not only does consignment give products a second or third or even twelfth chance, but it reduces your contribution to landfill waste and your carbon footprint. More items secondhand means less pull on natural resources and less manufacturing emissions. Whoooo hooo, consignment!
Why Consign Your Items? Because It Helps Your Local Economy
As they say, all business is local, and that’s truly the case with consignment and thrift. When you shop at one of these establishments, like Consignments Ltd., you support your local economy by buying things locally and reusing items locally. You also replace over consumption with the mindful variety.
Why Consign Your Items? Because It Brings People Joy
I’ve owned a home consignment store for 20 years. I see it every day. One of the best reasons to consign your things that you would never expect. That reason is JOY! You have things that you don’t want or need that someone else wants or needs. You make money on your items, help the earth and you give someone else joy by doing so! Now that’s win/win/win!
